= Important Notes =
Garbage in, garbage out - make sure text is sharp and large enough for recognition.
**Make sure text is upright (horizontally aligned to the app)** Beware of camera rotation!
Handwritten text will not work.
Text on top of unclean background (images or borders/lines in excel sheet) will not work.
PDF source is not supported.
OCR for Gujarati, Persian and Punjabi is experimental and the result is very bad. You have been warned.
**Please read the in-app Help section for tips to improve OCR accuracy before leaving a bad review :) **

Great OCR app, also, other good apps from this developer, worth checking out.
URGENT! v3.1.1 PRO is Defective! HOT FIX IS NEEDED! It fails to save text and pictures. The problem is that the Permissions are not available compared to v3.0.1. It's probably because it's not targeted for Android 14. I sent the developer an email explaining this more. But the email came back with this message, "Quota exceeded (mailbox for user is full)." That's not good support for paid PRO users using this app.
Not so accurate.. even on clear images.
The text does not come through clear
Simple & it works!
Average OCR results. Deducted 2★ because it lacks support, and it's in need of an update.
i used it a few times for neatly handwritten text and it just showed a bunch of symbols. maybe it only works with typed text...
