Reviews
Good
Satanzangl
App worked ok for me - wish there was option to preserve document spacing when using ocr
Needs Update
Margo45
I used this app a couple of years ago & it was good, but it hasn't been updated since 2014! It doesn't work on my iPhone 7 - very disappointed. Is there an update coming or has this app been abandoned?
Amazingly inaccurate OCR
T. Jinkinz
Can't see how this app would get 5 stars. I tried it with a screen capture of typed text and it had very low correct OCR ability and converted numbers and text incorrectly. Not very good. Would not recommend app to anyone based on OCR function.
Best OCR App Ever

This application offers what is advertised. It's simply awesome. It's easy to use, never fails, and converts any printed copy perfectly. Very pleased with this nifty little helper.
Doesn't work for my needs
Gabe Mejia
Tried to take a picture of a bunch of emails on a piece of paper with my I phone camera and with this camera and the email addresses didn't come through perfectly for everyone. It was missing a ton of vital information that I needed and would take a bunch of time to correct the information.
