About

BatchOCR

Features
Read full description

BatchOCR is free to download and turns a sequence of photos into editable text on your iPhone. Select multiple images in the order you want to process them. Review each image, adjust the OCR area when needed, and run on-device OCR with Apple Vision. Then edit, copy, view, or share the combined result. Highlights • Select multiple photos in order • Adjust the area to recognize for each image • Recognize Japanese and English text on device • Process images one at a time and cancel when needed • Edit individual OCR results • Copy or share a combined text result BatchOCR is supported by a small Google AdMob banner on the Home and OCR Results screens for users who have not purchased Remove Ads. The optional Remove Ads purchase is a one-time, non-consumable purchase; it permanently removes the in-app banner on the Apple Account that made the purchase. There is no subscription. Your selected images and recognized text are processed on the device and are not uploaded to a developer-operated server. Google Mobile Ads and its consent-management component may process advertising, device, diagnostic, and consent information as described in the privacy policy. No account or login is required, and Firebase Analytics is not included. BatchOCR is designed for clear printed text. Accuracy depends on image quality, orientation, font, layout, and language. OCR results are not automatically saved after you reset or close the app.
