I use OCRKit heavily on my Mac and I love it So I bought it for my ipad to help extract sone text from a Newsstand magazine I don t think it got two words in a row correct Save your dollar     Terrible Mark GT

PROS works with iphone and ipad CONS The text body using same font and size has about 90 accuracy inaccurate with w a and a few other chars LIMITATIONS Large or smaller font did not convert correctly with many inaccuracies No spell checker included Converts single images either via camera or photo roll Only Text is converted no means to select text for conversion or copy images In order to share recognized text it must be copied and pasted into another app         90 text correctly recognized sirgent

I tried to OCR a page of simple text under very controlled lighting conditions and several tries never got anywhere near a decent recognition Several tries produced total gibberish The best of triads managed to get about 33 of the text correct     Doesn t work cmcguinness

This is a straightforward and easy to use OCR program with one unique feature not found any other application in the app store It has the ability to open and perform OCR on PDF files from other programs such as email box dropbox and other storage locations on your iPhone If you ever receive a scanned PDF and need to perform OCR this is the program for you and is the only one in the App Store Highly recommended                     New version has unique features Stuchiner

And it does OCR just fine But it s a bit of a one trick pony There are no tools to export recognized text just copy it for pasting somewhere else You can t save PDFs or text to Dropbox Evernote or anywhere else You can t edit the text You can t give recognized blocks a title organize them in folders or anything else like that At the very least it should have an Open In capability So I am awarding it four stars for its core function but beware that it s hard to handle the output in a meaningful way Hopefully the developers will address this Soon Then it will be worth 5 stars                 Actually this app DOES work DavidFoster

It doesn t work at all I hope my bad experience and this review helps you to save these 3 dollars     Pathetic Danielwealth

I use OCRKit on my mac and was curious how the tool would work on the iPhone My only tests so far were a letter from my stock broker under dim light with an iPhone 4 but it works pretty well As others have mentioned you really have to keep an eye on the camera orientation when taking a picture look at the camera icon If it s wrong you get complete non sense characters If you are scanning in landscape format it s probably easiest to lock the screen orientation first The app really could use a confirmation screen with options to rotate and crop the picture before running OCR If it had that I m sure it d be 5 stars As is I d give it 3 or 4 stars landing on 4 because so many have given it 1 star just because they didn t figure out this usability problem                 Works pretty well Ask Bjørn Hansen

Scam does not work AT ALL Only writes in comprehensible bull crap     Scam Akosimike

If you are thinking about buying this app do yourself a favor and don t It does not work at all I took pictures of many samples of text Large small good lighting close and far Nothing worked After you take a picture of the text you are transferred to a screen that is populated with random symbols and hieroglyphics and can only be described as an incoherent mess The advertisement sample photos for this app are a complete farce and I consider it fraud If Apple cares at all about their customer s satisfaction and wants to maintain an image of only providing access to quality products then they should remove this app from the store     Horrible Don t waste your money Ofc. Safety

It just doesn t work iPhone 4 iOS 4 2 I ve tried everything Business cards printed correspondence newspapers newsletters big type small type courier times and specially designed OCR fonts at varying distances with varying lighting in portrait and landscape and the best that I could get from it was a few lines of garbage characters I m bitterly disappointed     Cannot get the darned thing to produce anything but garbage characters [MM]

I mean It s okay But there are TONS of mistakes I shot a very small section of text the image appears clear to me but I literally get words like 3j2j is that an English word I ve missed         Who wrote that other review JD Fit

OCRkit v2 0 works and it works well as a matter of fact it works better than any other OCR app in the store OCR by itself is a pretty amazing technology and to have the ability to use it on the iPhone 4 is a treat Having said that I can t for see myself converting more than a few pages of text at a time but it will certainly help when I m away from my Mac Overall if you need an app such as this OCRkit v2 0 is it I ve only tested this app on the iPhone 4 so I can t say how well it works with older iPhones Having used every other device over the years I can guess that the 3G will not fair well with it s camera vs processor speed the 3GS will do a better job but the iPhone 4 will be the best                     OCR on the iPhone 4 amazing fixedimage

I m pleasantly surprised at how fast the page generates text just a few seconds Also it s interesting that I was using fairly blurry text from some screen captures I d taken from apps on my iPad As long as you use correct orientation this baby spews out 95 accurate words Maybe better with something better to capture the pic Hmmm Possibilities here people I m thinking I got a good program after all Glad I spent the money                 Very nice iPad OCR from screen capture Appthinker

Now this really accurate OCR App provides the history I ve been waiting for Aside you can choose a language for the text to be recognized Nice job works really great on my iPhone 4 I discovered that it is important to let the camera auto orientation identify if you hold the iPhone in landscape or portrait view while photographing s th on the desk in top view Otherwise you can t get good results                     Nice updates flowerking

Pretty good OCR for the iPhone 4 Fast and with well lighted pictures good recognition accuracy Works in any orientation as long as the accelerators flipped the camera icon into the matching direction                     Works fine roadrun

In landscape you get garbage text You cannot do anything with the final Tex other then edit you cannot export or import or send or upload anywhere Your text reside in this application You can copy I wish I could get my money back     Don t buy Ilantos

It is a piece of crap Tried taking a pic of a receipt It scrambled it up Don t buy     Does not work adv_seeker

I want my money back     This product is terrible KleperPorto

Great idea I really wanted this to work but on my 3GS it simply doesn t work at all Man I do wish there was a way that the App store had a return policy This really was a waste of 5     Doesn t work Vpetronio

I wish i return back my money     Bull sheet i lost my money dont buy this Alfred S. Flores
