Great job! ### 4/5 — It's good *2017-02-11, version 2.3* It works pretty well ### 4/5 — Good Ocr app *2016-07-27, version 2.3* Has helped save me much time. ### 4/5 — Love it!! *2015-09-24, version 2.3* Just what i needed grabs everything correctly Please update to be able to grab text in other languages please!!!! ### 2/5 — Problems... Definitely needs work. *2015-08-09, version 2.3* The app functioned sub-par. The text scanned from 5+ pages without photos and in good light came out riddled with errors. The concept is great, the delivery lacking. My best suggestion for the developer is to make the app free until you work out the problems. This is not worth the $3 I spent. Hopefully the developer will provide updates that will solve this major issue. By the way... If you're going to write a review, take the time to check your spelling... -.- It's not "waist" your time. It's "waste". Duh.... ### 3/5 — Decent *2015-03-12, version 2.3* The app seems to do fairly well with my pictures of a book page, but it does get really messed up if the text curves because the book isn't perfectly flat. Really, it is only as good as the best picture you can possibly take with your camera. ### 3/5 — Good *2014-12-18, version 2.3* Nice app but should required search option after scan and save. ### 4/5 — Helpful *2014-12-13, version 2.3* I have an extremely bad reading disability. So needless to say whenever my boss hands me something that I need to "look over", I begin to sweat. This app is helpful in that it can turn the words on a page into a text that my phone can read aloud to me. I have to play around with it a little for this purpose but it's good enough. ### 4/5 — Good app! *2014-11-18, version 2.3* Good enough for my purposes. For the price the app delivered what I was expecting. I like the features and if used carefully can save time. If you are looking to copy all of Shakespeare I would think twice but if you want to take the jist of a document then this will do. Works off text on a computer screen also. ### 4/5 — Very good app *2014-10-22, version 2.3* May not be perfect in all formats, but with most it makes the process of turning a printed document into a workable document very easy. ### 3/5 — Accurate but slow *2014-10-10, version 2.3* It converted an image to text rather quickly and very accurately with only one mistake for a book page. Problem was in the editing. I wanted to remove some erroneous spacing. The act was painfully slow. It would've been faster to copy the text and edit it elsewhere. This seems more like a bug than a design issue. Look forward to future versions! ### 3/5 — Not So Good *2014-10-07, version 2.2* Well, for the same purposes of this app, you do better download the free or premium versions of the app Scan&Translate. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Camera does not work *2018-11-15, version 2.3* Camera and other features do not work on iPad Pro with the latest iOS. ### 1/5 — Does not work *2017-03-10, version 2.3* Please give my money back!!!! ### 1/5 — Not for screen shots *2016-03-25, version 2.3* Could not recognize text from screen shot of computer taken with iPhone. Tried to get more contrast and definition with Snapseed, still no go. Maybe it works better using its own camera... ### 1/5 — Crappy! Don't buy!!😡👎🏼 *2015-06-02, version 2.3* Description is full of crap. App does not work like described, don't waist your money!!😡 ### 1/5 — Don't Purchase *2015-02-21, version 2.3* I bought this app with high hopes and was really disappointed. It didn't even get any words it was all symbols and random letters. Don't waist your money ### 1/5 — Useless *2015-02-16, version 2.3* It does not work, will not recognize a single hand written word. I want my $ back. ### 1/5 — Disappointed *2015-01-29, version 2.3* I would say based on my initial use that this phone app is nearly worthless. It is not quick to use nor accurate. If I wanted something that was inaccurate and slow to use I would simple use the keyboard. ### 1/5 — Useless *2014-11-01, version 2.3* One word is wrong each line. ### 1/5 — Bad App *2014-10-13, version 2.3* It won't work if the text has lines ### 1/5 — A terrible app. *2014-09-29, version 2.2* Don't buy this app. It's a waste of your money, and you have been warned. It feeds out random numbers and letters with even the clearest and largest of words. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Works great and as expected. *2016-11-27, version 2.3* Have used this app several times with very accurate results. Glad to have it on my iPhone. ### 5/5 — It helped me a lot! *2016-07-02, version 2.3* Great job for what I want it to do, you might have to edit just a little, but again, it's a machine. :) Saves lots of time!! ### 5/5 — Wow!!! *2015-12-28, version 2.3* I am amazed and look forward to the use of this app. Would buy it anytime with results like this. Mine never skipped a word. ### 5/5 — Give it to me it's worth it! *2015-11-08, version 2.3* It is worth buying. I leave this app. It has languages and a translator built in. Plus many more features. ### 5/5 — Great app *2015-09-13, version 2.3* This app works very well and has saved me a lot of time. Definitely worth every penny. ### 5/5 — This works Great *2015-08-10, version 2.3* I just needed an app that I can scan to text. This worked to my satisfaction I recommend it. Those who are giving it 1 & 2 stars I don't know why. But this works, be ready to do a little adjustment to your text though. This is a computer system so you can't expect it to do stuff like humans do ### 5/5 — Try it ! Amazing. I don't understand the negative reviews *2015-05-11, version 2.3* A friend uses this app all the time and demonstrated how well it works for him even with hi-lighted and marked up pages. So I bought it despite the negative reviews. Wow! Now it is a game changer for me also. ### 5/5 — XenoKat *2015-05-01, version 2.3* I love this app! Yeah, you are limited to one page at a time... Try typing your pages! At first I thought it was poor with photos of text, but after working with it a bit I was able to get very good results. Be sure the contrast is good, that there are a fair number of pixels per character frame, and the copy is fairly flat. If the copy is curved adjust the corners of the text frame, the app will then have an idea how how to compensate for the curvature. My only request would be for sticky langage specification - I get tired of respecifying the language every time I enter the app. I often work with Spanish. I have never used the internal edit, So I can't comment on that. ### 5/5 — This App is Perfect. I love it *2015-03-19, version 2.3* Best thing I love is, it can Use Camera Photo, very Nice App. I have already took Pictures, and make it Grayscale ton. I mean mono colour, and can save it in Photo album. Thanks a lot^^ ### 5/5 — Useful for Teachers *2014-02-17, version 2.1* As a teacher, I use it to convert examples from PDF files into word documents so I can then modify the questions to suit my needs and the needs of my students. Saves me the hassle of retyping long passages. --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/). User reviews are verbatim App Store reviews.
