Texlen turns printed pages into text you can use. Scan a document, a book page, a note or a receipt, and Texlen reads it on your iPhone or iPad in moments. Copy the text, edit it, or export it as a file. Photos of tables come back as rows and columns you can check cell by cell and export as a spreadsheet. Recognition runs on your device first, so text appears right away, even offline. If you allow it, our server then tidies up the text and reads tables. SCAN OR IMPORT β’ Capture with the camera, or choose an image from Photos. Texlen reads only the images you pick β’ Rotate, crop and auto-enhance before reading β’ Choose the image quality that suits small print or smaller files ON-DEVICE RECOGNITION β’ Text appears in moments and works without a connection β’ Compare the result with the original image β’ Edit the text before you copy or export it CLEAN UP TEXT (OPTIONAL) β’ A server pass tidies up the recognized text β’ Your original recognition is always kept, and you can run Clean Up Again at any time TABLES AS DATA β’ Turn on Table Recognition and a photo of a table becomes rows and columns β’ Cells that may need a second look are highlighted β’ Tap a cell to see where it sits in the original image β’ Edit cells, insert or delete rows and columns, with undo and redo β’ Use the first row as a header, and add a title and a unit β’ Copy the table, or export it EXPORT AND SHARE β’ Text: .txt, Word (.docx) or PDF β’ Tables: Excel (.xlsx), .csv, a table PDF or Word (.docx) β’ Searchable PDF: the page image with a text layer you can select and search β’ Image: .jpg β’ Save to Files, or send it on through the share sheet HISTORY β’ Every scan is kept in History on your device until you delete it β’ Search your history, reopen past scans, or select several to delete or export together FREE Texlen is free.

We keep your email address and sign-in identifier, and never ask for your name or phone number β’ Nothing is sent for cleanup or table reading until you agree.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Texlen at none against Remind's 3. Remind's advantage is update cadence (every 9 days vs monthly) and iOS requirement (16.4 vs 18.0). On price, ads and device support there is nothing between them.
