## Description

TV news and program captions, newspaper and magazine articles, billboards and advertisements you see on the street, URLs, phone numbers, store names, names...
Have you ever taken a photo with your smartphone and wanted to search it online right away?

That's when this app comes in handy.
Use your smartphone camera to take a picture of any text that catches your eye.
"Text recognition" allows you to search the internet in one go.
There is no need for the troublesome work of starting up your smartphone's browser and typing in characters one by one.

You can also use photos and images saved in your camera roll.

Recognized text is also copied to the clipboard at the same time, so you can paste the text into other apps such as the Notes app.
