ScanToText (OCR)

IMPORTANT NOTE: THIS APPLICATION DOES NOT WORK WITH BUILT-IN CROP APP ON ANDROID VERSION 4.3! (MOSTLY FOUND ON NEXUS DEVICES). This is an offline (does not require internet connection to work) Optical Text Recognition (OCR) application which can be used to convert text (either English or Russian ONLY!!!!! for now) on a paper to editable digital text on your device. Extracted/converted text can later be edited if required, selected and saved to a clipboard and/or shared via any application installed on the device (e.g. translated with Google translate.)Please read instructions before using the app, especially if you have trouble with getting quality results.Note: This is my very first app and is also currently in a BETA state, so please let me know if you find any bugs or other issues. Suggestions on improvement are also welcome (aside from design, I know it's bad). Other info/comments:
- Text recognition is based on "tesseract" OCR.
- In order to keep app size reasonably small, only English and Russian languages are supported for now. Later I might include other languages.

Great app without requiring unnecessary permissions. Thank you.

The ui is horribly designed, the Dev should try and implement material design. The app works though, and it works well from the one test I did. Update the app design and fix some bugs and it will be perfect, but again its in beta so five stars from me for doing its job well.

Even though my language is not officially supported (only eng/rus) the detected text was better than with all other ocr apps I tested. For me, the main problem this app has, is to recognise text in muliple columns or wrapped around pictures. I'm looking for an app, where I can take a picture of an arricle in a magazin/newspaper and having the text available. The best would be, togethwr with eventual pictures appearing in the article...

It is fairly accurate, but it is very difficult to extract the text and copy to a clipboard. I perfect app RUINED by one missing feature... Like a perfectly good car missing a wheel! 5 stars if it is fixed.

Worked perfect on lg Optimus LTE 4.0.4 android. Thanks. Keep you updated with bugs if any found. Good job! Update: ok when try to take picture it gets into loop "fail to load image" goes back to camera and keep repeating. It only work if you go to gallery and choose already taken pictures.

Love it. Needed a way to convert Quick book reports into text form. Could not find a decent cheap or free PC program to do it. This works great. Just take a picture of the report, scan it in and after a few minutes a editable text file or email.

I Tried scanning only 1 word. It shows garbage data. Also a series of digits also cannot be read. it shows garbage data.

Scan a document right through a picture and it transfers it into editable text. The only thing I'm not happy with is that you do have to proofread and edit it. You can share it through anything....I put it in my Notes.

Sag. M. Aug 15, 2013     

i have used this app a lot, a big thanks to you. there is minor modification required, after scanning when i make some changes to text, it doesn't get shared, when i share the old scanned text gets forwarded, please look into this matter, thnx in advance.

The best app. As scanner won't work its magic any more (fix it or to trash) . Best regards Ali Ayyad

95% accurate and I love the share button. If you can't see the copy button use the share button to share to your notepad or word app

Very poor quality of rendering text, many extra characters are added, can't copy paste due to editable area as key board pops up when you try to copy.

Struggle for 30 mins to figurr out that the next button was missing after selecting the pic from gallery. Direct scan always crashed. !

Cor. P. Sep 8, 2014     

Thank you so much to the developer. This app exceeds all of the other "pro" apps on the store. Works seamlessly with my Google drive.

Gab. M. Feb 6, 2014     

This app on converts every few words to text so that sentences make no sense.

Jes. J. Jun 20, 2013     

Gave it one try and it did not recognise anything so I un installed it.

And. A. May 10, 2013     

When it works, it's great. However, for me it crashes about 4/5 times.

Bru. M. Nov 24, 2013     

I recommend another OCR app called OCR Instantly Free which works offline, has a very simple user interface and great accuracy. Plus it supports a huge range of languages!

Lau. S. May 28, 2013     

Horrible app. Locked my phone and in the process made the doc I was scanning which contained sensitive info my wallpaper screen!

Ky. S. Jul 13, 2013     

Good apps. It works. Does not recognise hand writing so crop these out. Also cannot recognize columns. Have not found out how to save so send to own email account.

Gra. I. Sep 27, 2013     

If you need to scan text from paper to editable digital text then this is it! And no network permission! Great job!

Kar. H. May 19, 2013     

This app is remarkable! It is able to accurately scan text with very few errors! More accurate than Google Goggles without using a single byte from my data plan!

Tan. M. Sep 14, 2013     

One paragraph of 10 lines. Not a single error. I did never expect this kind of accuracy from an OCR in mobile, that too, free!

Fre. G. Nov 12, 2013     

But it's free and no permissions.

Ami. B. Dec 30, 2013     

It gave me 100 % accuraccy and all of that within a tiny 20 mb app. Execellent work guys!
