Text Scan : Image to Text OCR

By far the best OCR scanning app I’ve used (and I’ve used a number of apps over the years). My main concern is the attempt to normalize subscriptions for mobile apps. The ecosystem for iOS is too varied and plentiful to warrant such a pricing model. I also do not plan out my usage of apps by time periods. If you offered an option for a one time purchase, it would be more appealing to me. Since this kind of app is not something I use routinely, I’m only using it for a month and canceling my subscription afterwards.

This is the first OCR on my mobile that I've used, so cannot compare to others, but what I've seen isn't awesome. Seems to get most words correct, although there was an odd switching out of a phrase from its original place to another, and one typo (not present in original). It also doesn't recognize fractions, which is a bit annoying when reading a recipe. What is super annoying is the interstitial ads that pop up when moving from one screen to the next. For that reason, I'm deleting it from my phone. The more subtle location at the bottom of the home screen is fine-- doesn't bother me so much.

Firstly, the OCR is subpar and works only half of the time (I have a great camera and ensured that the lighting was perfect). Second, after every action you are bombarded with ads that just get annoying. Thirdly, ONLY 5 documents per day? What???? That is insane. Why would someone pay a ridiculous amount of money for a subscription if they have to scan more than that?? Finally, people monetize everything these days, there is no more open-source free-to-use apps anymore, very disappointed with this app.

The app itself is great. I was so relieved to find an app with fast and accurate OCR... then after five scans I find I need to SUBSCRIBE to scan more than five docs a day. $60 every year? So in 12 months I’d have paid $120 for an app??? (And I read that the ads keep coming with every scan...) I would have bought the app in a second. But there is no purchase option... what a shame... ( also: state right up front what the deal is - don’t waste people’s time wondering what the “in-app purchases” are... “ free version only five scans - for more you need to subscribe to Premium which costs...”)

Great job capturing text. So why 2 stars? THE ADS!!! Even after paying the monthly fee for unlimited scans, every time I send the text via message, I have to sit through an ad. Every time now. And we use this app to record all of our business text messages to bill clients for our time. Therefore, we’re searching for a better app that doesn’t shove ads at us and slow down this process, a process that needs to move quickly or else we lose money.
