### 3/5 — Great tool, need one basic feature!

*2020-09-30*

Almost perfect, need to only select OCR txt not just txt output

I usually only need a portion of the text that I scan. Can you make it allow you to select a portion of text it scanned? The screen goes gray when I try it.
I have an iPhone XR on IOS 14.

**Developer response:** Thank you for using our App!
