### 1/5 — Ne telecharger pas cette application, ça ne fonctionne pas

*2017-02-19*

CETTE APPLICATION NE SAIT PAS RECONNAITRE DE TEXTE

**Developer response:** Merci pour votre achat et vos commentaires. Nous sommes désolés que l'application n'ait pas atteint le niveau élevé que vous attendiez.


Nous avons apporté des mises à jour pour améliorer l'application dans son ensemble, ce qui inclut une meilleure précision de l'OCR. Maintenant, nous espérons que vous sentez que cela fonctionne non seulement comme décrit, mais c'est aussi une application formidable et utile.

L'application fonctionne mieux avec les captures d'écran. Lorsque vous utilisez une autre application et que vous souhaitez copier et coller le texte que vous voyez (parfois vous ne pouvez pas toujours copier et coller), prenez simplement une capture d'écran. Ensuite, ouvrez notre application et sélectionnez l'image de capture d'écran à traiter en texte afin que vous puissiez ensuite copier et coller comme vous le souhaitez.

***** Merci encore pour vos commentaires et votre soutien.   *****
