# 拍照取字 vs 图片转文字

The clearest difference is rating: 图片转文字 at 4.9 against 拍照取字's 4.2. 图片转文字 also leads on in-app purchases (none vs 5) and ratings volume (30 vs 5). 拍照取字's advantage is ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (weekly vs every 3 weeks). On price, review sentiment and device support there is nothing between them.

Both are free to download. 拍照取字 sells 5 one-off in-app purchases. 图片转文字 asks for nothing beyond the download.

图片转文字 holds the better App Store score, 4.9 against 4.2. That said, the two scores are not equally well evidenced: 图片转文字 has 30 ratings behind it against 5, so its average is the more settled of the two. Written reviews split almost evenly too, at 100% and 100% positive.

拍照取字 ships an update weekly, 图片转文字 every 3 weeks. The most recent releases landed on October 22, 2026 and October 24, 2026 respectively.
