User Reviews for Image Text OCR Photo Scanner

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.

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!

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.

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 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.

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 isIts doesn’t work at all if it isn’t a text documents/all text imagesIt fail when shown pictures of super market ads with pictures and 3 different font sizes and different color with prices and names of products

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 workdid i mention you don’t need internet connection for it to workhow awesome is that.

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!

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.

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.

Description

Very simple Image Text recognition OCR app. Tap the share button on any photo and select this extension. It will use optical character recognition and open the text contained in the image.

The extension also shows the EXIF metadata of the image and detects phone numbers, addresses, sites and emails. All processing is done on the device itself and your image data never leaves your device. 100% private. No ads, No Subscriptions, No 3rd party analytics. - Ability to scan and perform OCR from camera directly from the app - Shortcuts support to make your workflow even easier - the shortcut action accepts an image and returns a JSON string with text, email, phone, address, site and optional exif data keys. The app contains instructions on how to use the shortcut action and also includes an example camera shortcut. I think this is the most powerful thing I have ever worked on! - App auto detects phone numbers, addresses, sites and emails from the recognized text and simple ability to open them in respective apps - Settings in the app for parsing tabular data. You can now specify separators to use for table rows, columns, text which is close by in the same line or new line. This way you can read images containing tables and get a CSV back. - Tapping the recognized lines highlights them in the image - Searching for text highlights the location of the line in the image - Ability to free hand crop and perform OCR on certain portion of the image - Accurate mode is on by default which recognizes custom fonts and poor lighting. Tap the action button on top right of the extension to switch to "Fast" mode (less accurate) - "Intelligent New Line" mode setting which only adds new line characters if the top left corner of the line is below the bottom left of the previous line. This prevents unnecessary new lines. - Ability to copy and share the recognized text and EXIF data - Ability to share the image without exif metadata - Additional languages available iOS 14 onwards: "en-US", "fr-FR", "it-IT", "de-DE", "es-ES", "pt-BR" - Free version shows few lines of recognized text for free. Small IAP unlocks recognizing unlimited lines forever. I offer an ad free and simple app for the absolute best experience for my users. If you are finding my app useful, please leave me a positive rating on the app store as that helps get the word out to others!
