It's was fine at first but know there's been so many problems, it freezes, the app keeps closing and know it won't even read. I actually had to uninstall and install it but know it won't work at all. So I wouldn't recommend this app.
Really like this app! works great! Have trouble reading due to dyslexia helps out a lot.
The app worked fine, but now shortly before my finals, the app won't read no the languages that I need and reinstalling doesn't help.
Great app for my little one to learn to read, it crashes every now and then but i cant complaint.
Absolutely brilliant! Simple to use and reads well.
this app has given me huge independence I normally can't read very well and it has really helped me
This app is working very good.please add telugu voice and support for scan telugu language.Thank you.
Screen keeps going to sleep and interrupts the reading.
Greatly has helped my dyslexic!
It help me .l Love it. 👍👌✌️🙏🇵🇷
It was awesome in the beginning.but then every time I would try to take a picture of a paper it would say there would be no words detected .even though the picture of the document was very clear. it's been doing this for a while now and I deleted it and download it again. and it still wouldn't work when i try to make it read.
It keeps displaying message no text detected. Had such high hopes for this, now deeply disappointed. I'll just have to uninstall.
I use this app most days, work well on a Samsung galaxy tab s2,
The text selection feature needs an overhaul
Didn't pronounce 'receive' correctly, Uninstalled!
The app won't start at all on my Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge with Android 7.0. I would happily pay for a working version if one would be available.
I've been looking for an app like this to help my special education students. Free!!!! Amazing potential...
Awsome... 2.9 star only... This is an under rated app deserve 4.5 stars ... Only faults are that it dosnt work in landscape mode and touching the screen resets the reading
This helps alot people
Quite handy in a pinch for android users. Make sure the paper is flat and there shouldnt be problems with conversions from image to text; curves tend to make sentences interesting as they mix and match. Would like access to the LED for quicker focus when in dark areas, its disabled when I try to turn it on. Would also like to request a line for guidance when taking images of text for alignment purposes.
Was going to buy a $280 scanning pen for my dyslexic daughter buy this does the trick for free.
I'm sure this will be really helpful, especially as I'm about to get clamoured but every time I try to take a photo of the text it takes me back to this Google play page. No idea why. On a huawei p9
It's good at what it does, could really do with the ability to turn on the flash/light.
Every time I try to press the picture button it automatically sends me to my home screen. What's going on?
Unfortunately this Android version of a great iOS app is terrible. Very basic flaw...it can't detect text in images! Images are very clear. Obviously something has gone wrong.
The app is awesome! It helps me hopes me overcome my disability when reading hard-copy documents, instructions, magazines, and more. The only drawback to the app is that it does not read handwriting.
