Review summary

Reviews praise OCR speed, usefulness, and easy copying of extracted text, with several users calling it the best or very fast. However, multiple reviewers report inconsistent accuracy, especially with non-English languages, and language download/recognition issues. Many also want extra features (save within the app, export to PDF, multi-image import, and number/email detection). Maintenance appears infrequent (last update years ago), and the text-to-speech upgrade is disappointing for some. Overall it's a fast, productive tool, but reliability and language support issues limit appeal for some users.

Pros

Very fast OCR that delivers results quickly
Saves time and boosts productivity, especially for students and academics
Generally good accuracy and useful for converting images/photos to editable text
Easy to copy/paste extracted text into other apps
Overall highly recommended by users

Cons

OCR accuracy is not perfect and varies by image/language
Language support/download issues: some languages won’t download or are misrecognized (e.g., Kannada); requests for additional languages (e.g., Marathi)
Missing features: need options to save within the app, export to PDF, import multiple images, and detect numbers/emails
Maintenance concerns: infrequent updates, last update years ago, raising fears the app is abandoned
Text-to-speech upgrade is disappointing for some users (unnatural voice, mispronunciations; refunds denied)
