Great OCR scanner!. Just got wind of this. Very handy extension that just works. No unnecessary application, 3rd party services, cloud features I don’t need, or annoying ads. Install. Activate extension. Take photos with whatever camera app you prefer and OCR them. Tried it on everything from a bill, a business card, a page out of a book, a PDF. Recognized text FAST and let me do what I wanted with it easily. Great extension. Happy to recommend it.

Amazing Word Recognition. The word recognition on this app is amazing! The accuracy is 99%! There’s an occasional hiccup but that’s usually because of what is being scanned. Amazing app!

Hidden costs. It should tell you up front that it costs $3.99. Instead it waits until you try to scan something and then you have to purchase. If I would have seen the cost I would just purchased it but this feels like bait and switch. Like you get a trial you don’t. (It showed me just 3 inaccurate words.)

Simple, Streamlined, and Fast.. I love using this on my iPhone XS Max and my iPad Pro to very quickly pull text from images. I have yet to find another app that does this without the bloat.

Total piece of junk. Got the free version try to scan one document. It scanned like three words from the top heading of the document. Total piece of garbage. I'm gonna delete it from my system. Don't waste your time.

Brilliant app. Was looking for one with a one time purchase versus subscription. This guy really outdid himself!

Life and time saver. This has been the most used app in both my Mac and iOS device, especially since these uncertain times where jobs change dynamics. I love how I can use it via the photos app and it’s really easy to use. It identifies lines and breaks them so the content is easy to copy.

Works great!. I appreciate that this purchase is perpetual, not a subscription.

Fantastic App. I have tried numerous OCR apps and this app does everything I was looking for in a OCR app. The share extension makes it really easy to copy some text out of a screenshot. My only feedback would be to add an option to hide the EXIF data to make the UI less cluttered.

Didn’t work for Russian. I had hopes, but it sure wasn’t scanning Cyrillic

One of the Best Apps Out There. Taking a photo of a long string just to type it out is one of the worst thing webpages do. This app solves that and gives you back that option. One of the very few apps that actually deserves five stars.

Exactly what it says!. No frivolous bloatware, just an actual super handy app. No other OCR I’ve used has been this convenient, and even if they work they have tons of ads (which this doesn’t). A+

Permanent utility app. This is going into my utilities folder. Does more you could ever need. Extracts all data from images AND OCR is nice. Great work developer! I’ll be checking out your other work.

Review of OCR. It’s almost impossible to apply a OCR software to any thing I have trying to scan something or trying to type something of my own I was hoping to have text to speech and speech to text and I’ve got neither of those things I need health but there’s no way to get assistance at least I haven’t figured it out that’s my review

Crashes all the time. Crashes on literally every photo. Deleted it after several tries

Best App for Grabbing Text from an Image. Great app for getting text out of an image as quickly as possible! Kudos to the developer for making my life easier!

Can't restore purchases. I am on iOS 16 and I can't restore purchase. The app just freezes. Also I couldn't contact developer in app. Great app by the way!

Does not work, not user error.. First, to make this work they provide no real images except 2 icons in the instructions. You kinda have to know instinctively what they mean. But even when you manage to follow the instructions, this does NOT perform OCR… that is just false. This app only looks at the image metadata and shows it for you. I took screenshots from a mobile game with a list of players. Despite the text being in very distinctive colors than the background and there being nothing else on the image, to one letter was identified by this app. Not one. It only showed me the information regarding the file. OCR means Object Character Recognition and not EXIF data reader. It is false that this app can do OCR at least in what I tested it with.

Cool app for doing OCR of photos. Once installed, the app shows up as a shortcut when you tap the share button. From there it gives a screen that lets you copy/paste all the text and meta data from the photo. Very handy!

The best OCR app out there. Chocked with great features, easy to set up, totally versatile. I’m so glad I took the time to dig through the App Store to find this.

Pretty good at what it does, needs some UI improvements.. Initial download had crashes because of memory issues. Now it loads images well and quickly pulls text from images without problems. Fairly accurate, even with small and hard to read text. I would like to see some UI improvements so I can easily see the text that was pulled, but so far so good

Does its job. After the new updates it seems to work just fine

Super useful tool. I can't stress enough how easy it is to work with. The fact that it is on the share menu, as an option in the drop down list. I breeze through my snap shots to convert to text and incorporate it into my spread sheets and word documents. Also the crop selection tool it's god like, since some times documents are irregular in shape and can wrap around tables and figures or pics. makes it super easy to extract selectively. you are awesome guys keep up the good work did i mention you don’t need internet connection for it to work how awesome is that.

Really great!. I think this is fantastic. I’ve been looking for local OCR for some time. I wanted to rate 4-stars because of a lack of shortcuts support, but local ocr and simplicity of the app really sold me. Two improvements: 1. SHORTCUTS SUPPORT. That would truly make this app insanely powerful. Have an image->text converter as part of larger shortcuts/workflows would have a huge number of applications. Shortcuts support could even be another premium feature. 2. Basic files app integration. This would make it more of an app than an extension, but would be greatly appreciated!

does what it says.... ...but don’t expect fancy word editor output! just barebones however very useful at 1.5Mb size!

Does what it says. Got the updated version today and it works great. Nice OCR and gives some metadata on the photo selected too

Very versatile app. Love the app! Works great. Very accurate, and highlights the information in the photo when you tap the text which is very useful for checking errors

Needs to be able to see the photo. Would like to be able to see the photo when looking at the ocr so I can at least compare how accurate it is Its doesn’t work at all if it isn’t a text documents/all text images It fail when shown pictures of super market ads with pictures and 3 different font sizes and different color with prices and names of products

So Amazing and Versatile. so many times i’ve used this to copy and paste multiple phone numbers or sometimes just being surprised what shows up in a photo . Twenty Thumbs up i do believe i’ve had this app not long since original launch i know i’ve had for years , a glad to see others finding this Gem of an outstanding helpful app.

Really Cool. Does what is says, very handy.

Japanese support?. Very good app. Is it possible to recognize Japanese characters?

Don’t Buy Some $10-$50 App - This Is All You Need!. This app is lightweight, fast, and even more accurate than Readdle’s Scanner Pro OCR feature. It can easily differentiate between numbers and letters, and lists websites, emails, and phone numbers in a quick easy to copy and paste manner. If you want to scan emails, textbook questions, message history, app comments, etc, this app will get it done right and in a quick manner. Highly recommend this app and this developer!

Surprisingly great!. This is my first ever was app review and I'm glad it's for this one. Does what it should no mess no fuss.

Love it, the best ocr app I have used thus far. It’s is so easy to use and it does not have a monthly fee. 👍👍

Easily the best text recognition app in its class.. This app is absolutely perfect. No bloat. No ads. No analytics. Just a quality made app that hasn’t been destroyed by a greedy developer. It looks great. Works perfectly. And does what it does EXTREMELY well. Support ethical developers.

Thank you. Useful utility app.

Amazing. This app is truly amazing, without upgrading the app is quite useful for reading EXIF data but if you decide (you definitely should) to upgrade you can easily grab words off of images. 5/5 Great for the techie and elderly and everyone in between.

Perfect. It’s so incredibly handy. Thank you.

The Best. The Best

Handy app. Works well.. This app does a fine job OCR. Adds a few extra carriage returns, but you aren’t retyping stuff!

Works incredibly well. The app integrates perfectly with iOS and allows you to very simply get text from any image with text in it. Absolute snap to use and the “thank you” screen for purchasing premium is also really neat.
