Grab text from anything you can point a camera at — a sign, a receipt, a whiteboard, a book, a screen, a label — and turn it into something you can actually use. WordLift is a fast, focused OCR text picker that puts the text exactly where you want it: in your clipboard, in a translation, in a message, or one tap away from a phone call. Point. Capture. Pick. Done. — THE FAST WAY TO LIFT TEXT — • Capture with the built-in camera, or import any photo from your library. • On-device recognition reads English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Arabic, Cyrillic, and more — Vision picks the right script automatically. • Two selection modes that feel native: drag a rectangle around what you want, or swipe a highlighter across the lines. Switch with one tap. • Pinch to zoom into small print. Tap-to-focus on the live preview. • Dynamic Type, VoiceOver, and Reduce Motion fully supported. — WHAT YOU CAN DO WITH YOUR SELECTION — • Translate. One tap opens Apple's built-in translation sheet — works for every language Translate supports. • Copy. Sends text straight to the clipboard with a confirmation toast. • Share. The standard share sheet — AirDrop it, drop it into Messages, Notes, Mail, or any app that takes text. • Edit. Fine-tune what was recognized before you use it. Useful for messy handwriting or low-light captures. — SMART DETECT (PRO) — Smart Detect scans the photo for actionable data and turns it into one-tap actions: • Phone numbers → Call. • Email addresses → Compose mail. • Street addresses → Open in Apple Maps. • Links → Open in Safari. • Dates and times → Add to Calendar. It's the fastest way to get a business card, a flyer, a screenshot, or a poster into your phone without typing a single character. — PRIVACY, BY DEFAULT — • 100% on-device. Your photos and recognized text never leave your iPhone. • No account. No sign-up. No email required. • No tracking. No analytics SDKs. No ads. • No subscription. Pro is a one-time, lifetime purchase. — BUILT FOR REAL USE — WordLift is what you reach for when copy/paste should already be working but isn't: • Wi-Fi passwords on the back of a router. • A serial number, IBAN, or tracking code on a label. • A quote from a paperback you can't be bothered to type. • Notes scribbled on a whiteboard after a meeting. • A foreign menu — capture, select, translate. • A receipt total you need to forward. • A poster's date and address — straight into Calendar and Maps. — DESIGNED FOR iOS — • Pure SwiftUI, native gestures, native share sheet, native translation. • Dark, focused interface that gets out of the way of your photo. • Haptics that confirm — never interrupt. • Accessibility-first: every control is labeled, hinted, and reachable; the entire flow works under VoiceOver. — PRO: A ONE-TIME UPGRADE — Unlock Pro features for a single, lifetime purchase — no subscription, no recurring charge, no tiers, life time upgrades. Translation, copy, share, and edit are free for everyone, forever. If you ever switch devices or reinstall, Restore Purchases brings Pro back instantly with your Apple ID. — SUPPORT — Questions, feedback, or a script that isn't being recognized as well as you'd like? Tap the question mark in the top-right and the tutorial walks you through every feature in under a minute. We read every email. Capture the world. Keep the text.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Video2Slides at none against Text Extractor's 1. Video2Slides also leads on device support (4 vs 1) and iOS requirement (15.0 vs 17.6). On price and ads there is nothing between them.
