ScanToText (OCR)

Scan a document right through a picture and it transfers it into editable text. The only thing I'm not happy with is that you do have to proofread and edit it. You can share it through anything....I put it in my Notes.

Struggle for 30 mins to figurr out that the next button was missing after selecting the pic from gallery. Direct scan always crashed. !

I recommend another OCR app called OCR Instantly Free which works offline, has a very simple user interface and great accuracy. Plus it supports a huge range of languages!

Taking photo or choose grom galary it does nt work well, I get 1/2 perfofmance.

95% accurate and I love the share button. If you can't see the copy button use the share button to share to your notepad or word app

Its not worthy even it is free

but it is on its way. And it is still free.

Great app. Working perfectly with clear images. Checked with sony ericsson arc s handset.

I'm afraid this doesn't work!

It doesn't work

Even though my language is not officially supported (only eng/rus) the detected text was better than with all other ocr apps I tested. For me, the main problem this app has, is to recognise text in muliple columns or wrapped around pictures. I'm looking for an app, where I can take a picture of an arricle in a magazin/newspaper and having the text available. The best would be, togethwr with eventual pictures appearing in the article...

Horrible app. Locked my phone and in the process made the doc I was scanning which contained sensitive info my wallpaper screen!

It gave me "- for the text Same Mistakes?

The ui is horribly designed, the Dev should try and implement material design. The app works though, and it works well from the one test I did. Update the app design and fix some bugs and it will be perfect, but again its in beta so five stars from me for doing its job well.

Very poor quality of rendering text, many extra characters are added, can't copy paste due to editable area as key board pops up when you try to copy.

It work nicely this app provide facility to extract text form image and you can copy or paste text in your mobile ...bset app

Thank you so much to the developer. This app exceeds all of the other "pro" apps on the store. Works seamlessly with my Google drive.

It would be useful if you had more languages

Takes pictures, crops, switches off...

But it's free and no permissions.

I Tried scanning only 1 word. It shows garbage data. Also a series of digits also cannot be read. it shows garbage data.

One paragraph of 10 lines. Not a single error. I did never expect this kind of accuracy from an OCR in mobile, that too, free!

More accurate with offline support compared to text miner and text fairy. (PS, to copy text, use "share" then copy to clipboard. Or if you have a bluetooth keyboard, ctrl+a then ctrl+c) Pros: Offline support!!!!!!!! Extremely accurate, even with images of older PDF's. Faster than the other OCR apps Doesn't stop me after only a few uses, like text miner. Cons: No cons. I would like to see column recognition like in text fairy, since many pdfs I need for school (I take screenshots of them) are in two columns. But if it would impair accuracy, I can sacrifice a little time. I just have to crop and scan each half of each screenshot separately. Still, that is the main feature it lacks.

Great it really works.Please make option to save the scan file.

I tried with a picture of an email from the monitor and a small paragraph from an English newspaper. Phone: Grand Quattro, 1.2 Ghz Quad core, 1 GB RAM. Just kept saying "Extracting text..." for more than 30 mins in both cases, after which I gave up!

This app is remarkable! It is able to accurately scan text with very few errors! More accurate than Google Goggles without using a single byte from my data plan!

Dont waste ur time to download this freak

When it works, it's great. However, for me it crashes about 4/5 times.

Works fine and quite accurate but crashes sometimes

Kind of sort of works, but not always. Buggy.

Really excellent App must have it recognize offline perfectly without any errors

When I installed it says"package file invalid"

It gave me "- for the text Same Mistakes?

It recognises text accurately.I tried on pic of newspaper.Wish to explore few things of this app

Slow conversion extract and error in text so plz improve both........

Gave it one try and it did not recognise anything so I un installed it.

Must have it.

It gave me 100 % accuraccy and all of that within a tiny 20 mb app. Execellent work guys!

With an OK picture it did a good job translating words.

The directions say to scan something, and then push the OK button. The only option I see is the Save button, which seems to do nothing. This seems to be on the right track, but I haven't gotten it to OCR anything yet.
