Pros and cons of Scanner with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) - Document Scan to PDF, Email and word & Translation app for iPhone and iPad

Scanner with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) - Document Scan to PDF, Email and word & Translation app good for

I’m a foreign student and I do really love this app Thank You

Great app. 20 minutes after installing this app I had almost 70 pages of documents scanned and OCRed with incredible accuracy. Keep up the good work.

This App really helped me especially because i work with kids who dont speak english very well

This app is really accurate if you have the right focus and lighting.

Pour le prix, cest très bien. For the price, it is very well.

I really think the idea of this app is amazing but if you dont have perfect focus the then some of the writing comes out like this "aOwbciOsbciBdnc28jd..."

Some bad moments

Not good at handwriting recognition. Mike = M.xe. process = pr0cs

It does not work. Words are scrambled. Not even remotely accurate.

This app is just not efficient. Really need to be improved to recognize text in a picture.

I know I only paid $0.99 but some instructions as to how to use this app would be appreciated.

I tried using this app multiple times ((AND DONT THINK I DIDNT FOCUSE IT OR USED THE WRONG LIGHTING)) and its just a mess; it only started copying half way through the text and it pretty much looked like this : "gtwpAKs sOmslq..."

This does such a poor job! I could dictate with Siri or Dragon Dictation or I could even two-finger hunt-and-peck type and get the relevant text created in less time than it takes to make sense of and correct the jumble that this App generates. Save your money or your good money will be going where my now bad money has gone - down the drain. A complete waste. I wont be using this App anytime soon.
