Scanner with OCR (Optical Character Recognition) - Document Scan to PDF, Email and word & Translation App Reviews

I have not had any issues using this app. I use the copy text for use in other apps. WOW. Used it on Polish sign and worked great.

This app is useless. It fails to recognize the text to documents as small as a half sheet. Very disappointing!

Needs lots of work! Periods are commas, and vice versa. All spacing is lost in translation from photo to OCR text. Once the formatting is fixed, it is lost when sending via email or any other method. Many other issues....

This is great for scanning any article into text or long stories. My favorite feature is that it can scan tons of Different languages and translate them in to any in other language. I use this a lot to translate Spanish stories into English. I dont normally say this about apps but is actually worth $1.99 or maybe more. If you want to be able to buy long documents that are printed but you need to retype it this app can do it in seconds.

Im using it with spanish text and it works great. Good job! Hope to see more apps this helpul!

I love this program! I can cut-and-paste from other printed documents in a flash with ease!

The app refuses to read available text and the menu implementation is weak. Think about this again when it has become way more robust

Cant believe any of those great reviews. Dont buy this.

I read all product information. This software does not perform as promised. Vendor must fix the problem.

Wont OCR more than a paragraph. Disappointing.

Great uses, only needs to keep from crashing

Ive tried numerous articles, textbook pages, and papers Ive written and it will 90% of the time not recognize any text at all. The other 10% when it actually does scan it will be completely incorrect. This is a great idea for an app but this software, and would have been very very helpful for my finals but it obviously needs a lot more help before it will truly be successful in my opinion. I only wish I could receive a refund.

Crash in IOS8 when select the languages

It didnt recognize a single word from a typewritten page. Not one word. The free online OCR websites worked much much better with the same scanned page.

..and accurate.

This app almost never works and when it does, the words are usually jumbled. The customer service also denied me a refund and promised an update that never came. Do yourself a favor and get the CamScanner app. It actually works.

Although the scanner may miss a few words or completely change a word, it is worth the $1.99. Gets the work done so much faster!

I love it! Im able to scan in information from various web pages on whatever subject Im researching; put them together and save for future reference. This app is great!

Like most OCR apps, recognition is slow. It takes about half a minute to recognize each page. Obviously, if you want to scan and recognize multiple pages, the process is even slower. You must snap the first page, then wait for it to recognize, then snap the second page and wait for it to recognize, and so on. This makes the process VERY laborious. It would have made so much more sense to be able to scan multiple pages all at once and THEN let it do the OCR on all those pages at the same time, but of course, it doesnt let you do that.

I just got it and test it, and didnt go slow, have to test it with longer text but for now Im happy.
