About App OCR

App OCR is an offline OCR reader (or OCR scanner) and a language translator that helps users to extract text in images from gallery or camera in their mobile devices. Users can translate the text to other supported languages if needed. Result of the extracted text and its translation then can be shared with other apps such as gmail, gdrive, etc. that have sharing capability or online storage on the device.

OCR text recognition is done locally / offline on the device using its text recognition engine. The subsequent language translation uses online translation services which require an internet connection.

OCR's accuracy of recognition is primarily determined by the quality of the text in the image. To achieve a more accurate result, please try to aim and focus your camera properly when taking the picture with text so that you have a clear text in the picture to begin with.

App OCR supports multiple major languages including English, Chinese(simplified, traditional, Mandarin, Cantonese), Russian, Spanish, German, French, Korean, Japanese, etc.

Good for English, but not enough confidence in other language such as Chinese printed characters

M70%
by M####:

Badly OCR for English, Chinese, and numbers

W70%
by W####:

Installed and test used. Failed to install Asian Languages. After a while, the app is not quite useful to capture Chinese text as it like, I uninstall this app.

I70%
by I####:

The user interface is quite complicated not sure where to press at first. I recommend another OCR app called OCR Instantly Free which also works offline, much simpler user interface and greater accuracy.

Languages should be a drop-down list. UI looks old.

T70%
by T####:

It works well.

T70%
by T####:

This review is on the English character recognition side only. I don't use the translator. It can recognize texts well. The only problem is when I rotate a picture the image becomes zoomed in and there's no option to zoom out. And the image does not follow the accelerometer (auto rotate) so I have to crop the landscape image always. In spite of that, the character recognition is very good. Using Xperia Neo L.

Could not translate Chinese, just crashed, you must download both simplified and Traditional for it to work, anyhow it's still good on my Nexus 4 but not working on my Nexus 7

G70%
by G####:

Unfortunately on my HTC One the traditional Chinese capture doesn't work. It scans fine but crashes when doing character recognition. Please fix this.

T70%
by T####:

I would have given five stars, if there was hindi language aswel. Plz add Hindi language also.

T70%
by T####:

Does a relatively good, but has issues: 1) Doesn't implement Google Translate well or fully. For example, using Google Translate in Japanese, you can get the Romaji/transliteration. This program doesn't do this. 2) Sometimes recognition of Kanji characters are totally wrong. It will recognize the characters next to it, but get the one in the middle wrong, for example. It has problems with vertical Japanese and Chinese characters.

S70%

Just what I wanted. Great accuracy, such a small app size for an offline ocr, and the most important thing - it's offline! Great stuff! Oh and yeah, the interface is good and intuitive.

T70%
by T####:

Interface looks very nice and intuitive, but app does not work. After scanning, the error java.lang.NullPointerException pops up and no text is captured. If you try and use the Gallery function the app crashes outright. Fix the functionality and you may have a winner, otherwise sell your frontend to a developer who can make the snazzy UI actually work.
