But sometimes the text gets really mixed up so it’s hard to digest what it’s putting down. ### 4/5 — Bien *2025-11-11, version 2.5.229* Il me semble que la reconnaissance de caractères peut être encore perfectible, mais l’application fonctionne plutôt bien. ### 3/5 — Partial Capture *2025-11-09, version 2.5.228* Captures text, but in half screen mode only. If text is done for a full screen has to be done twice with 1/2 and Balance. ### 4/5 — Subecription *2025-09-04, version 2.5.219* You need to pay for the features ### 4/5 — It’s not perfect *2024-09-26, version 2.5.164* That’s not perfect, but I got it to work for me. ### 1/5 — Muy mal OCR *2024-09-01, version 2.5.160* Recién lo estoy usando y , decepcionado con la aplicación, parecía excelente,, pero es un desastre con el resultado de escaneo de documentos de texto , no tiene buen OCR las palabras todas inelegibles.. no se le entiende al resultado… y eso que uso documentos con letra impresa.. ya me imagino que será con manuscritos… ojalá mejoren su aplicación.. gracias ### 3/5 — Not free for OCR function and not accurate *2024-08-25* The app shows it’s free but if you actually want to use it for OCR purposes, it’s $3.99. Switch and bait; just state it is a paid app. Used the OCR function and it removes the formatting. Therefore plan on spending significant time re-formatting. The accuracy of the text capture is about 80%. ### 1/5 — Cant figure it out *2024-08-14, version 2.5.158* I only purchased this app this afternoon. I have no idea how to find what I’ve saved. There are no instructions except save to clipboard. Where is clipboard??? ### 1/5 — Para vermeyecekseniz boşuna indirmeyin *2024-07-15, version 2.5.154* Hiçbişeye yaramaz ### 4/5 — Rating *2024-05-13, version 2.5.145* It would be better if there were more options to add Pictures to the Text or to add the text to my other Apps. I have to Copy, Paste everything. ### 1/5 — Terrible *2024-03-29* I paid for this app because it was simple and did not require a subscription. I read other reviews indicating it was a reliable app. Even after paying the results were appallingly bad. Trying to convert an image or capture text from something is absolutely a nightmare. You’ll spend more time cleaning up text. It doesn’t even capture whole words. You have to revise and edit the entire thing. It’s a waste of time. You could just retype the text quicker. I want my money back. I’m angry that I paid for this and there is no recourse. It’s a scam. If it was free it might be okay but for $4 is not worth it at all. ### 4/5 — Bardzo dobra apka ! *2024-03-26, version 2.5.138* Poprostu bierz i instaluj. Jeśli potrzebujesz skopiowania tekstu ze zdjęcia np ! Lepszej w A.S. nie widziałem ! ### 1/5 — Garbage *2024-03-25, version 2.5.138* Only lets you capture a very small amount of text and unless you pay for the app you can't even do most things on it. Don't bother trying to scan the text because it'll come out sounding like 5 languages, taking a picture works better but you can't even crop what you want properly ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Pessima! *2026-07-03, version 2.5.268* Terribile, prende parti di parola e parti di testo a casa, e prima di farvela usare vi prendono già i soldi, non scaricatela! ### 1/5 — Does not decipher well *2025-09-22, version 2.5.222* 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. ### 1/5 — This app is a scam *2025-08-26, version 2.5.217* When you click on it, it says pay once use forever for $3.99 but once you purchase it, it then says $39.99 ### 1/5 — Horrível *2025-06-07* Não presta. ### 1/5 — Ma perché *2025-04-12, version 2.5.193* E inutile non capisco come faccia ad avere 4 ⭐️ ### 1/5 — non ti fa fare niente *2025-01-11, version 2.5.180* se non paghi non puoi neanche copiare il testo o modificarlo… 😂 ### 1/5 — Unable to restore my previous purchase. *2024-12-22, version 2.5.177* Text Capture App Review - 1/5 I am extremely disappointed with the Text Capture app. Despite being a previous paying customer, I am unable to restore my purchase. The app fails to recognize my prior payment, and there’s no clear support or resolution provided. This is unacceptable for a paid app and raises serious concerns about reliability and customer care. Until this issue is resolved, I cannot recommend this app to others. ### 1/5 — Each basic feature is Premium *2024-11-30, version 2.5.174* You can’t even copy text you have scanned without paying 1st ### 1/5 — Bad *2024-10-31, version 2.5.169* Does not work properly and can’t read the writing. ### 1/5 — Бесполезное приложение *2024-10-25* Захватить можно, но ни скопировать, ни отправить нельзя, пока не заплатишь 350р. (которые, кстати, невозможно заплатить из России). ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Wonderful *2026-01-01* 78683 ### 5/5 — Text numero 1 *2025-11-07, version 2.5.228* 24 ### 5/5 — Better Than Universal Copy *2025-07-30, version 2.5.213* 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. ### 5/5 — Text Capture *2025-03-02, version 2.5.187* This app is so time saving to capture text with your phone or tablet! I love it and use it all the time…. ### 5/5 — برنامج سئ ولا يدعم اللغة العربية *2024-04-29, version 2.5.143* برنامج سئ لايستفاد منه ولايدعم اللغة العربية وتم الدفع للتمتع بمزايا البرنامج ولكن للاسف لايعمل. ### 5/5 — Good App *2024-04-16, version 2.5.141* Works great, recommended ### 5/5 — Bufff *2024-04-15, version 2.5.141* La caña ### 5/5 — Very good *2024-03-06, version 2.5.135* Good ### 5/5 — Splendid *2024-01-09, version 2.5.127* Very convenient Done in a split of second ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-11-24, version 2.5.119* Excellent and helps me so much while study --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
