### 1/5 — Мрак

*2021-02-07, version 1.3*

Тормозит, распознает в клинопись и иероглифику

### 5/5 — Works very well

*2021-01-09*

Very happy.  Works very well.  Does what it says it will do.  Would recommend.

### 1/5 — This app has CORONA

*2020-06-27, version 1.2*

This app just doesn’t work. When I go into photos it takes me out of the app. Do not download anyone reading. Please fix this app creators and fix bugs. Thnx.

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-05-13, version 1.2*

It takes or selects a photo to convert but then nothing happens when you press the tick button. Thought maybe in the wrong language. Clicked on the button that looks like it changes the language and the app shuts down. 

Just did not work.

### 2/5 — Some bugs

*2020-05-05, version 1.2*

Camera can only be used in portrait orientation. Check mark at bottom of scan seems to do nothing. After selecting text, it still scans more than I want or scans it more than once. Then I have to select what I want & copy to another app eg email or doc.  Accuracy seems very good, but not quite perfect - maybe 98% on all-caps text. The above bugs make it not a good app.

### 1/5 — Look somewhere else

*2020-03-03*

Just ads everywhere. Full of bugs. Did I say ads?

### 1/5 — Что это вообще и как здесь оказалось???

*2020-02-25, version 1.2*

Не возможно назвать приложением!

### 1/5 — Doesn’t work

*2020-01-17, version 1.2*

When I tried to do it it says an error occurred do not get this app!

### 4/5 — Дал шанс

*2020-01-10, version 1.2*

Ну вроде да - что-то распознает. Если надо раз от раза перекинуть несложный печатный текст с листа в телефон - нормально. Интерфейс не вполне интуитивный, местами китайский, но опять же - чтобы изредка распознать что-нибудь вполне сойдет как бесплатная альтернатива приложениям, вылезающим первыми по запросу «OCR», где на каждый чих в сторону предлагается купить “pro”-версию или, боже упаси, платную подписку.

### 1/5 — No success

*2019-09-15, version 1.2*

It scans and you can resize the document but that’s the only thing that works. Can’t select the tick and no real instructions
