### 1/5 — I must be missing something!

*2020-12-18, version 1.0*

Just downloaded this app. Am trying to scan and convert a paragraph from a printed book into text in my clipboard, and am getting nowhere. Have been through the info “walkthrough” a dozen times.

### 5/5 — Helpful for a myriad of reasons!

*2020-09-07, version 1.0*

This app is so helpful for so many aspects of life. The icons are easy to use and the app clearly teaches how to use it. I use this app to look up words I don’t know in books, get addresses off of invitations, and and even searching different medications on the internet.

### 5/5 — Great reading companion

*2020-09-05, version 1.0*

I have been using this while laying in bed and reading to look up words I don’t know. The interface is clean and simple with nothing getting in the way of capturing and sharing text. Couldn’t really ask for anything more.

### 5/5 — Easy to use

*2020-09-01, version 1.0*

Worked great and was able to copy and paste instead of having to type it out completely.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the review I'm glad it's helpful!
