This app is a lifesaver for writers and researchers documenting large quotes from books. The page uncurl feature works terrifically. Text recognition is good, but there’s always a little editing to do. Otherwise it’s great for copying a whole page at a time. Faster than Xerox, plus you get OCR thrown in. There’s a few things that could be better, but I’ve been using it for… Many years.

This is the best Document OCR app I found by luck. It is about 95% accurate with good photo. It can do things that others cannot, like make the lines continuous thus preserving paragraphs. It can pull good recognition out of if even bad photos. It can also preserve columns and do not mix up the lines in between the columns. It can even recognize some handwritten text at some level depending on the clarity of the writing. It really saved me a lot of time. I do not use anything else. It is an excellent company with great talent. It is sometimes hard to find in the App Store. Above 5 star review I have written was on Doc OCR Pro Version 4.6. When I saw it has been updated since to version 5.7 I thought it must have been improved to near perfection. I wanted update it and also install iOS 16. I thought I should see how good it is on my iPhone 14 Pro. When I tried the new version 5.7 I was shocked. The same scan with 5.7 was totally unusable. How can a company take wonderful OCR software and instead of improving it to more perfection absolutely destroy it. I sincerely recommend this company to thrash the OCR engine in the new version and go back to the OCR engine in the 4.6 version. Until then I would not recommend Doc OCR Pro for use in OCR jobs. Unfortunately, I have to keep the version 4.6 in iOS 14 on my iPhone SE to be able use this amazing OCR software. I am concerned if I update the system to iOS 15 or iOS 16 it may stop working. There is nothing better out there. If this company just take the version 4.6 and adapt it to iOS 16 and issue as an OCR software it would be wonderful.

This app has improved noticeably over the years with better edge detection and smoothing out curved pages when scanning. It also seems to upload faster to iCloud and other cloud services in and across devices. This is still my go-to scanning app. In fact, I’ve deleted my other scanning apps,; which included scanner pro, Adobe PDF reader and even Lens PDF.It also has some nice extras... which I guess are the norm now for a lot of PDF scanning app or PDF readers. It does let me sign a document, it lets me write on it freely and put posted notes on it. It lets me merge or split PDF files, which is always great. It lets me email, fax (with a minimal fee), airdrop, you name it. But I think it needs a facelift and minor improvements.It still doesn’t always let me open encrypted PDF documents It detects Apple Pencil but writing with it in this app doesn’t feel as precises as in other apps.I know this is probably not the designed use for this app but i like filling out forms in it. It is clunky with adding text. I wish it had field detection so that I can easily fill out documents and submit them ASAP. It still doesn’t support split view on iPad. I wish I can have this app opened on one side and my web browser. It is still a great app to own but be mindful that if you plan to use it for editing forms it will annoy you. Also, sometimes it’ll duplicate a document just because you changed the name of a scanned file from 09_12_2019 to paper1.

We use this scanner app for multiple medical records. The fax application is very useful too. The imaging is quite clear even at times when the ambient light is low. Downloading manuals, webpages, et cetera are a breeze. It’s a good tool to have in your mobile office’s arsenal. However, it should have a user’s guide highlighting each of its features. Yet, you’ll learn the more you use it the easier it gets. SLW
