Elfinbook - Scanner & OCR 4+

Much improved app

I wanted to like this when I got it as a gift a year and a half ago, but the app leaved much to desire. I can finally say they have improved the app. Before I had issues with syncing now, so far, it’s seamless; but time will tell since I just noticed the improvements. The OCR isn’t bad either no worse [if not better] then others out there in this style app. The added app features are nice too.

Developer Response ,

Thanks for your review and support.

I Love this App as much as Rocket notebook

I have both the the Rocket and the Elfinbook. I like the Elfin better. The paper is more substantial as well as it has a lot more pages, both lined and blank. I like the number space column and the date space column. I like that pages are not numbered, but you can number them. They must have improved the app because thats seems to be the biggest concern from reading the past reviews. The app works GREAT! It dose just about everything the Rocket app does, expect once you save it then you direct it to the cloud. Its doesn’t have the symbol that automatically save it on the cloud. At least not yet, but no big deal all you do is share it to where you want it to go. I bought the Elfinbook X. I LOVE it! It comes with a beautiful leather six ring binder. I am a Hypnotherapist and I take notes and the pages are removable. When I am doing the Hypnosis process I need to read my notes and I record the session. I don’t want a spiral because you can hear the pages flipping. I need to be able to pull them out and then I can put them back in after I have saved them on the app and erased them. This is HUGE for me!

Better than Rocket Book

Elfin book is better than Rocket Book. I understand the folders and organization, I can snap photos from other books, paperwork, and even off of the board to store in my notes. I can use the Pdf attachments to upload to Notability, and I can navigate using voice over easily.

As a legally blind person who sometimes struggles with accessibility in today’s age, I’m very happy I took a chance and bought two Elfin books. I was skeptical at first because Elfin books is a Chinese company and not from Silicon Valley, but I have zero regrets with this purchase. I recommend it to all my visually impaired friends.

The only thing that would make this even more beneficial to the Blind community is if Elfin Books integrated some type of software that has an intelligent camera that would allow me to hear information about my environment and would read documents I placed under the camera. It would be nice if Seeing AI and Elfin Books would work together to make this happen.
