### 4/5 — 縦書きの文でも正確です。

*2024-07-24*

縦書きののOCRは、一太郎Padに頼っていたけど、乗り換えました。快適に読み込んでくれます。

お願いがあります。
写真を撮らなくてもよいのは素晴らしいが、
それでも、写真で保存しとおきたいときもあります。選択できませんか？

もっと言うと、OCR後の文章と、写真を較べながら訂正、修正できると、申し分ないって、贅沢ですか？

**Developer response:** いつも本アプリをご利用頂き、ありがとうございます。頂いたご意見につきましては、アップデートの参考にさせて頂きます。今後ともよろしくお願いいたします。
