Turn screenshots into a story worth sharing. SuperShot combines long screenshots, image stitching and markup on iPhone and iPad. Save a conversation, collect web references or explain a process with clear visual steps. Save editable projects, create named checkpoints and back up or restore your work. Reuse presets, process images in batches, and use saved workflows or layouts for tutorials and comparisons. Import selected PDF pages and adjust image exports with target file size controls. Edit table rows and columns, then export multiple tables in one XLSX workbook. LONG SCREENSHOTS AND STITCHING Join screenshots vertically or horizontally with automatic overlap detection and manual seam adjustment. Turn a scrolling screen recording into a long image. Capture full webpages through the Safari extension, or trim a video clip and convert it to GIF. ANNOTATE WHAT MATTERS Add arrows, text, shapes, freehand drawing, highlights and numbered steps. Use a magnifier or spotlight to focus attention. Crop precisely, resize, add watermarks and finish with backgrounds or device frames. TEXT AND PRIVACY Recognize text in an image or a selected region, translate it, and copy recognized tables as TSV or export them as CSV. Review and cover sensitive text, faces, QR codes and barcodes with privacy tools before sharing. REFINE YOUR IMAGES Extract a subject and change its background, remove unwanted objects or enhance an image at 2x resolution. Adjust filters and tidy screenshot status bars or scrollbars. PREVIEW FREELY, CHOOSE HOW TO EXPORT Try every available tool and preview the result without purchasing. Ordinary screenshot, stitch, crop, markup and OCR results remain free to save, share or copy. Outputs containing AI object removal, 2x enhancement, subject cutout, translation or table extraction require Pro. Closing the purchase page keeps your edits; undoing Pro effects restores free output. Save images or PDFs, split long images into slices and share through Photos, Files or the system share sheet. Choose a monthly, annual or lifetime Pro plan in Settings. A first-month subscription trial is available only for eligible accounts and offers; pricing and renewal terms appear before purchase. Editing, stitching and the image tools above process on device. Some tools need model or language downloads. Availability varies by device, system and language; review automatic results before sharing. Terms of Use (EULA): https://www.apple.com/legal/internet-services/itunes/dev/stdeula/
DocLens
Read full descriptionHide full description
DocLens is a fully offline frame-select OCR tool: draw a box, extract exactly the text you circled, and translate it on your device. The liability clause in a contract, the date on a court ruling, one verbatim line from an interview: you choose the block, it reads only that. Headers, footers, ads and noise are never touched. Key features: 1. Frame-select OCR: shoot or pick a photo, drag a box, and only the text inside is recognized. Low-confidence lines are dashed-underlined for line-by-line proofreading before translation. 2. Accurate recognition: selectable recognition languages with automatic per-line detection for mixed Chinese and English; handwriting and rotated text supported; Enhance and Retry rescues poor scans. 3. On-device translation: results are translated paragraph by paragraph for fluent output. Chinese, English, Japanese, Korean, French, German and Spanish are supported, and language packs can be downloaded in advance. 4. QR and barcode scanning: frame a code to open URLs in an in-app browser, dial numbers, compose emails, open locations, or copy Wi-Fi passwords and contact fields. 5. Fully offline: recognition, translation and barcode scanning all run on your device. No account, no analytics, no cloud upload, and no network access from shutter to text. 6. Minimal permissions: DocLens never asks for full photo library access, only permission to save your exports. Data stays in the local sandbox and database. 7. Torch and Enhance Retry: turn on the light for close-up documents, and re-run recognition with boosted contrast when a scan comes out poorly. Membership: New users get a free 7-day trial, extendable once by another 7 days from the membership page. After the trial, you can still scan free once per day. VIP is a one-time purchase: no subscription, no ads, no tracking. Great for contract review, hearing and meeting notes, interview transcription, research excerpts, receipt and form data extraction, and translating foreign signs. Your files go nowhere. That is what makes DocLens different: it does not make decisions for you. It hands judgment back to you, and keeps privacy structural with on-device computing.

Verdict
The clearest difference is in-app purchases: DocLens at none against SuperShot's 4. SuperShot's advantage is device support (3 vs 1). On price, update cadence, ads and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
