LiveScan makes it quick and easy to capture text from your camera, photo library, or apps, like Twitter and Facebook. It's like Apple's new LiveText feature, but runs on all iOS 14 and 15 devices. LiveScan has support for multiple languages, plug-ins, translation and one-tap access to popular internet services. With LiveScan, you can instantly: * Visit links in presentations on video conferences * Take a picture of restaurant sign and get Yelp reviews. * Look up addresses on business cards in Apple Maps or Google Maps. * Find definitions to new words with the Dictionary function. * Use the built-in access to Google Translate. * Call phone numbers. * Quickly look up a product on Amazon or eBay. * Have the text spoken to you aloud! LiveScan can detect words in eight different languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Using the LiveScan extension, you can send images to LiveScan from other apps, like Files.app and Twitter. You can even extend the app with custom JSON or JavaScript plugins! You can try LiveScan for free as long as you want. All features are available, but the trial is limited to 50 characters per detection. Subscriptions and Purchases support Family Sharing! Purchases or subscriptions includes LiveScan for iOS. LiveScan can be bought either as a single, lifetime purchase, or as a subscription. Subscriptions are monthly or yearly. Purchases or subscriptions includes LiveScan for macOS. LiveScan respects your privacy, and does not transmit your camera captures anywhere. LiveScan requires iOS 14 and later.

Makes a few errors
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.
so you basically couldn't program a way to close the installation window?
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
Flawless and SO EASY
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!
Free tier cannot handle 5 lines of one file
the free tier doesn't even allow me to test the app so nope
Absolutely amazing

Surprisingly useful
I’m surprised at how often I’m using this app. Text images on Twitter, excerpts from books I’m reading, for my notes. Lovely, useful, and cross-platform to boot.
Who knew?
One of those does-one-thing-well apps. Very very well in this case. I'm surprised at how often I pull it up to scan a text image or something I'm citing from a book I'm reading. Nice to have it on all my platforms (so thanks also to Apple for making that easier than it has been in the past).
Fixed an issue with sorting results from text detection.
