Snap. Tap. Structured. Point your camera at text. Tap the words you want. They're on your clipboard. That's the whole app (apart from the rest of it). Not just plain text โ Texty Copy captures structured fields for books, business cards, addresses, quotes, receipts, or any mode you build yourself. No sign-ups. No tutorials. No "upgrade to unlock." You open it, it works. Quick mode Quick mode freezes and copies in one shot โ no tapping, no choosing. Sometimes it nails exactly what you wanted. Sometimes you get the barcode. Nailing the Snap โ Tap โ Copy combo never gets old. Free selection Don't want everything? Tap individual OCR blocks to pick exactly the text you need. Got a wall of blocks? Drag a dashed rectangle across them and grab them all at once. Long-press to select every block on screen. Cherry-pick, bulk-select, or mix the two โ the whole frozen frame is yours. Five built-in modes for real life: Text โ Grab anything. Paragraphs, labels, serial numbers, that Wi-Fi password on the back of the router. Book โ Point at a book. Title and author drop into separate fields, ready to paste into your reading list. Card โ Business cards become name, title, company, phone, email, and website. Each field, one tap to copy. Quote โ Capture a passage and its source. No more "I think it was from that one book." Address โ Street, city, state, zip. Sorted and formatted without you squinting at an envelope. POWER MODE โ Make your own Create custom scan modes with exactly the fields you need. Newspaper? Recipe? Invoice? Pick from built-in fields, add smart detectors for dates, prices, phone numbers and links, or write your own regex patterns. Your scanner, your rules. You can even add fields to the built-in modes โ want Currency on your Card scanner? Just add it. Smart detectors Five ready-made extractors that find things automatically: โข Date โ natural-language dates and times โข Currency โ prices in any format ($1,234.56, โฌ99, 1234 USD) โข Phone โ phone numbers โข Link โ URLs and web addresses โข Address โ full postal addresses in one line โข Actually there are more than five Add any of them to any mode with one tap. Custom wraps Add your own prefix and suffix to any copied text. Wrap in quotes, brackets, markdown โ whatever your workflow needs. Learn by doing A built-in Learn tab walks you through every feature with hands-on demos you can tap and long-press โ the lessons react like the real app. Three tiers: GO for the basics, GO HARDER for the power-user moves, and GO TO FULL POWER for custom modes, fields, and regex. Skim what you need, skip the rest. Private by design All text recognition and extraction happens on-device using Apple Vision. Custom fields, regex patterns, detector matching โ everything runs locally. Nothing leaves your phone. No servers. No accounts. No analytics. No data to leak because there's no data to collect. One price. No surprises. Pay once. Use it forever. No subscriptions, no feature gates, no "premium tier." Every feature, every mode, every update โ included.

Get the text from several photos together, ready to copy into a note or share. BatchOCR turns printed Japanese and English text into editable results on your iPhone. FROM PHOTOS TO ONE TEXT RESULT 1. Choose multiple photos in the order you want to read them. 2. Adjust the recognition area for each photo when needed. 3. Extract the text and review or edit each image's result. 4. View the combined text, copy it all, or share it with another app. Each photo's text stays in selection order in the combined result, with image-number headings to help you check it against the originals. Copy an individual result when you only need one part. Useful for gathering printed instructions, reference pages, or other text spread across several photos without copying each result separately. BEFORE YOU CLOSE Results are not saved automatically. Copy or share the text you want to keep before closing OCR Results, resetting, or quitting the app. The combined-text view is for reading and copying; make corrections in each image's result before combining.

If a selected photo is stored in iCloud, iOS may download it according to your Apple settings. Designed for clear printed Japanese and English text. Results depend on image quality, orientation, font, layout, and language. Check the recognized text before using it. ADS AND OPTIONAL PURCHASE BatchOCR is free to download.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: Texty Copy at none against BatchOCR's 1. Texty Copy also leads on ads (none vs shown) and update cadence (every 2 days vs every 2 weeks). On price, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
