With Scan Thing, you can extract objects, people, pets, artwork and just about anything else from any image, image URL, or PDF document. Scan Thing can also capture books and documents with the original images intact and the text extracted and embedded. You can save your scan as a single- or multi-page PDF with all its text fully searchable and selectable. You don't need an account to use Scan Thing. You don't need internet access. Your scans never leave your Mac as Scan Thing does all of its processing on-device. Because your privacy is important (not to mention none of our business), we collect no data whatsoever and we don't use any third-party code. Your privacy is yours, and we think it should stay that way. You can get Scan Thing for a one-time purchase and share it with your family at no extra cost. No subscriptions. No adds. No shenanigans.
This is not a scan utility
Poorly named app. I was looking for a scan utility and downloaded it and turns out it functions as drag and drop. The name of the app is unhelpful. Wasted my time.
SImply AMAZING. PDF ➾ Searchable Text PDF alone = remarkable.
I only wish the purchase for PRO edition was the same across iOS devices and macOS 😩 however, this only means I wont purchase PRO on my macOS and just do my scanning needs on my iPhone... no biggie! Definitely not worth a removed star!!! Just... ya know.. something to chew on, developers. ;)
Not worth getting this app at all
Surely it detects texts without problem, but it randomly mixes the line orders when copy/pasting. I need to read through the entire passage and rearrange the pasted text, which is the very process that I want to avoid.
SO USEFUL
I don't even mind paying the fee for unlimited scans. the 12 free I got to test it out worked GREAT, again extremely useul
Amazing!!
I use this for YouTube Thumbnails...and holy balls does it work well. Saves me so much time! Thank you!
Genuinely fascinating execution, however...
It surely works as well as I'd hope for my purposes, but very unforgiving. Tried to scan my cat, realizing halfway through that I wanted to zoom out and restart my drag-box, but lo and behold, what you click is what you get. Scanned a tiny box about 10x2 pixels of my cat's foot and obviously got nothing out of it. No way to undo and get one of my 12 attempts back. If you're going to put a usage cap on such a neat app, I hope you can reconsider your implementation of such a system...
WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!WOW!!!! WOW!!!!
This App is amazing i'm a free lancer and this has saved me so much time coverting photos to PNG pics. I love this app I would recommend this app to anyone who does graphic design.
