One of ABBY’s best products

While I have had my gripes about ABBYY’s price and what I believe is a clear loss in the quality of the apps (ie it’s still hard to find better desktop software!), I nonetheless have to say this app is excellent. I am a PhD candidate in the humanities, and had to pass four research languages in order to complete the program. That meant I had to learn to translate quickly, and recognize common phrases in each language. If one is looking for the parsing or definition of a word then a lexicon is best, but if one needs to actually translate and work through sentence structure, then this is one of the most helpful apps I’ve found. I continue to use it for quick translation or to check my own rendering. *i do echo previous comments regarding whether the app utilizes the hardware of the latest iPhone effectively (it doesn’t); the iPhones have the best cameras on the market, and yet the ABBYY apps seem to struggle to take decent pictures. Sadly, it’s often easier and more accurate to take a picture with the native camera app and then import into the suite of ABBYY apps. (I have received multiple responses to this issue telling me I’m doing it wrong, but I have an actual lighting setup and a device that holds the phone over the page...I’m sure I will get corrected again ? but there is some difference - that said ABBYY is still the best available).
The best one out there

I've downloaded three other apps after reading reviews about how those new ones are the "best" but I keep going back to TextGrabber after comparing their output based on the same scan/photo. TextGrabber always produces the most accurate scans, and preserves the formatting as well.
Great app but...

I think if I could use TextGrabber in the photo app share sheet, it would be better and more convenient. Can TextGrabber OCR PDF files?
Powerful

Powerful tool to put text where you need it without having to retype it. Such a great help!
It works really well

It does what it says. The foreign languages cost extra, but whatever. I like using this for snagging recipes out of old cookbooks.
