User Reviews

At my job, I deal with a lot of handwritten papers. This app makes transcribing those papers a breeze. As long as the handwriting is legible, this app has proven itself very capable. It’s as simple as scanning a paper with your camera, having it turn it into computerized text, and from there, you can copy and paste it into a Microsoft document or a pdf. I can think of numerous other instances in which this app would be useful, and it hasn’t let me down so far. This app has saved me so much time at work, I felt compelled to give it a glowing review. For whatever reason you need it, I can reaffirm it’s reliability. It gets the job done every time.

I’m a student. I use this app. I was able to scan extract text from so many languages with a single click. I tried translating some road signs in Germany and they were a life saver for my travel to foreign country. This app very useful for me. I use this app several times. I enjoy this app. I suggest this app to every student. Camera capture is good. Very faster. I highly recommend this app. I love this app. Thanks to developers. Enjoy it.
