This easy to use and fast application allows you to take a picture of anything with text on it and convert the picture's text to text format. The converted text is displayed on the screen and the app also creates a text file on your device. This allows you to use the text file in any application that can read text format and modify the text as you wish. Very handy conversion tool!

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Luci at none against Flash To Text's shown. Flash To Text's advantage is update cadence (every 4 days vs every 4 months) and iOS requirement (12.0 vs 17.5). On price, in-app purchases and device support there is nothing between them.
