Does not decipher well

I purchased this app hoping to transfer notes taken at a conference to digital, but the digital copies were just gibberish. I would have to retype all of my notes.

This app is a scam

When you click on it, it says pay once use forever for $3.99 but once you purchase it, it then says $39.99

Better Than Universal Copy

This Text Capture app in the Apple I-OS Apps Store is like the Universal Copy app that I bought in an Android Apps Store. I tried using Universal Copy, but I could not completely understand how it works. In contrast, this Apple I-OS Text Capture app is easy to use and I like its rich blue color with lighter colors over a black background. Also, for the features of this app, I like how I don’t have to select any text characters because if I can select text characters on the display screen, I can copy, paste, and share the selection without needing to take a screen shot. With this app, I can take the text characters from app descriptions of apps in the Apple I-OS Apps Store. Those descriptions are not allowing the standard select text option to copy, paste, and share. This Text Capture App is dis-connecting text characters from a screen display and allowing a user to edit the dis-connected text like a basic text editor. The name of this app goes well with my user name for writing reviews and I like it. As soon as I can get a generic, major brand gift card such as Discover, Vanilla Visa, American Express, or Master Card, I will pay the one-time small fee to buy the Professional, Premium, or Plus version that lasts forever.
