It worked great for me on screenshots of articles I wanted to highlight

One thing I would add eventually- I would like to be able to select areas to include or exclude in the scanning.
Works!

I tried this out on an iPad 2 and it works as long as the text is in focus and there is not too much distortion. the bigger fonts seem to work better. It worked on the camera and from pictures in the photo library. Now I need this on my Mac also!
Not functional

Nice idea. Way too many errors. Not useable. The interface also needs major work.
Unusable

Could not recognize a simple book text photographed with excelente light. A great frustration. I have losa my money and time with this app.
Bad OCR
Bob Plank
I used this to scan a simple 7 line list of one to three word items. Evernote scanned it well enough to search the document. However, I wanted access to a text version of the information. This application translated the text to the following: E^v ,— 0/Q€ My The odd thing is, the first word in the list was "Principal" and the word "My" is nowhere in the document. Do NOT waste your two dollars. If I could have given zero stars I would have, but that would be interpreted as no rating.
Not bad...

Works well most of the time. Recognition has weak moments occasionally, but most of the time it's fine. Tried a lot of OCR apps, this one is the best and the only one I use now. Not perfect, but close.
Completely useless OCR

80% of the words contain at least one error. It is faster for me to type the whole text than to do corrections. I just waisted $2 :-(
Still the best

I can't understand the mixed reviews. I use this almost everyday. It just takes a little preparation. Make a screen shot of the text you want. The text should be clear and readable. Then crop the photo (in Photos) so only the text is showing. Next is the (undocumented) key to success: take a SCREEN SHOT of the EDITED photo. Then, from the app, select your photo, click done and there you are. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries before it snaps into action. Also, try the 'enhance' editing feature in Photo when you prepare the text. One of the great features of this app is that it preserves the line breaks of the original text, which is better for lyrics and poetry, maybe not so for paragraphs, but that can be fixed in any text app like Pages.
