User Reviews

Reviewers praise LiveScan as a fast, accurate OCR tool that works on images and camera captures across Apple devices. It processes entirely on-device, preserving privacy, and supports iPhone, iPad, and Mac with seamless cross-platform use. Many note it saves time and offers strong value, including a lifetime license. Some isolated criticisms include accuracy issues with certain uppercase text and installer hiccups, but these are rare and do not undermine overall performance.
Pros
  • Very high accuracy across many fonts, sizes, and colors; fast results.
  • On-device processing with no external servers; privacy-friendly.
  • Cross-device compatibility (iPhone, iPad, Mac) with seamless usage.
  • Easy to use and strong value; lifetime license available.
  • Reliable and fast for everyday text capture from images.
Cons
Recent reviews
This app seems to struggle somewhat with uppercase English text. When extracting text from a TIFF I noticed it tends to misread D or Q as "O", and VV as "W" or even "WV". Very occasionally gives "L" in place of I. If accuracy is important for your project be sure to give it a good proofreading before proceeding. Still, it's frequently able to find text where Adobe Acrobat would fall flat on its face, so 3 stars for that.

1- it's not free 2- you made it impossible to close the installation window without restarting the machine. worst app I've ever downloaded

My hat off to the delelpor. This is so easy to use and saved me WAY more in the first use than what it cost. Now I can get a good nights sleep instead of dreaming about stupid numbers and letters!
