CTRL-F - Search the real world for Android
I dont use the find words feature but I love that i can get documents photos into PDF files, However, it should have an option to use photos from the gallery, so that we dont need to always use this app to take the photo.
Does what it says off the most part. One problem I had was when I was testing it out to try and find the word "of". I saw where it was but the app couldn't find it.
Would pay 47p to 58p for this app, to the devs try and get this as the 10p app on the Play store because word of mouth will create lots of sales also I read about this app in the Nov version of Stuff Magazine. Cheers AL
I never write reviews! This is the first app which seduced Me to click on app store and give them 5*s! Such a crazy product to think of and even execute the same! Find Ur keywords from newspaper articles in a seconds! Only if they could convert the image to editable text! But that's asking for more or am I?
Hey, this is a really neat app. However do you think we will be able to copy the words and be able to paste it - in text format.. Would be really cool
Scanned document was a mess. Impossible to see anything. And it only is available with 3 languages.
Oh if it just contain more languages such as Arabic and French then it would be officially the best app ever installed on my phone Anyway the Application is extremely awesome
Idea is well. But very slow. Even not accurate in detection. Instead use SCANBOT.
Not solving my purpose. I require to use the ctrl-F command, like in windows OS.
It crashes if i try uploading an image for scanning
Ekram backwash aap .. fake
That's a great OCR, with no option to add previously taken photos, nor an option to extract text.
Works great, but when I merge pages, I can't access any of the pages other than the first.
Innovative however needs bit work keep it up
Why you forget (Arabic language )!?
Gr8 app. Kindly make it possible to copy and paste like a normal text anywhere.
This thing is amazing. Works best for student.
Does what it is supposed to do, will get a thumbs up from me.
Perfect app.. Arabian people are waiting the Arabic language support
Needs improvement But works fine..
Perfect app for text recognition
Great!
Like it
Great
Handy
Good
Ctrl-F's ability to recognize text and make it searchable is amazing. It worked perfectly every time, even under poor light conditions. That aspect of the App deserves a solid 5 star review, no doubt about it! However, it doesn't allow you to do anything other than search for words! You can't select text, copy it to the the clipboard, mark it... Nothing! And exporting the PDF creates unreadable text. If that's fixed, I'll be happy to give it 5 stars and delete all my other scanning Apps!
It's the only app I needed I have been trying to get pic text on PDF but I couldn't but this app makes it very easy, thank you so much for making such wonderful app I'll be more happy if it take little less size..
I usually scan documents with more than one page and I would prefer if it merged the different pages into one document.
Scanned document was a mess. Impossible to see anything. And it only is available with 3 languages.
Great idea, but the app doesn't allow you to photograph/scan docs in A4 portrait mode which makes it somewhat redundant. Developers please update!
Just add a feature to copy or select text from the photo like an ocr app
Why you forget (Arabic language )!?
لا مزيد من ادخال يدوي. ملاحظة لا تدعم العربية
I can't download gujarati languge please fix it
Loved it
This is a good idea and it works. However if it had feature similar to camscanner I think this app would have been better. Also it can't read cursive. None the less, an awesome idea. Also there is some lag while searching.
I expected you would enter the word, point the phone/camera on to a text, and see it highlighted through your screen. The way it works is - take photo of the page, usually few times to get it right, then crop it, then wait for the app to read it... then finally enter the term to see it highlighted. I could scan with my eyes through the text to find the word I'm searching in about the same time without using a phone. Maybe this is just the beginning and developers are working toward streamlining it.
The current need to scan first, then convert the text and enter a search term renders it slower than my actual skimming, however. Ideally I would enter a term first and then point the phone/ app at the page, which then would yield a result or not. No worries though, I assume the tech is not there yet!

SIMPLY AMAZING. used it for a min and I could see it efficacy. Not sure about its real world use but it's pretty nifty tool. You don't know when it will come to your rescue
