Do you like FineReader PDF Pro? Please leave a review!
I have well over a hundred recipe books on the shelves, plus many hundreds of individual recipes from the New York Times and elsewhere in three-ring notebooks. I needed a way to get printed contents into my AnyList recipe and grocery shopping list app. FineScanner Pro is this home cook’s perfect OCR dream app for moving ingredients, preparation, cooking times, servings and nutrition data and more from shelf or binder via the camera and into my device. If I need to, with FineScanner’s help I can do meal planning from among my favorite recipes while sitting in the grocery store parking lot... A capability once limited to expensive laptop and desktop software is now within affordable reach of the stovetop!

(Used to be the) best scanning and OCR app that existed!

Update - 2024: This used to be the best app for scanning and OCR. As of August, 2023, ABBYY discontinued their support and switched off the excellent OCR features that once made it the best OCR app around. It is now very inaccurate and almost useless! I dearly miss the original app that I purchased some years ago. —————— Original 5 star review - 2019 I’ve been using FineScannerPRO for a few years now and it just keeps getting better! Scanning is simple with the iPad or iPhone and OCR is very accurate. I’ve been using it to recognize text in both English and Spanish, both of which work great. The new page area recognition features make it easier than ever to scan pages with little or no manual adjustments. Recognized documents can be downloaded in several useful file formats including MS Word, RTF, and plain text. I now do all my scanning and OCR on my iPad instead of my dedicated scanner. It is just so much faster and easier. You can also make a “photocopy” of any document just by printing the result of your scan. I would highly recommend this app!

Thank you for the feedback! The ABBYY FineReader PDF for iOS is still shipping, supported, and available, however, there have been some functional adjustments. We've made some changes to our functionality, including updates to our list of export formats and OCR languages, along with discontinuing the BookScan feature. We sincerely want to fix the situation that you encounter in the application. Please specify the situation in more detail and write us an email at mobile_support@abbyy.com.ABBYY Customer Support
A world-class OCR app
e-BookReader
In 1988, I purchased one of the first OCR scanners on the market for $12,000. Since that time, I have purchased several OCR desktop applications. But none of these can measure up to the ABBYY FineReader PDF Pro. It is without peer in the OCR scanning market. I can now do better, and more efficiently, on my iPad what any desktop software can do. I highly recommend this product to anyone needing to convert image to text or convert between a variety of formats. You will not be disappointed in the outstanding performance of this app. Earlier I did have a problem with the app, but the support staff resolved it promptly, for which I am grateful.<br>FROM THE DEVELOPER (Jun 7, 2021): /r/nHello ____,I'm sorry for delay with the reply.We've checked in addition, in the shop the last our answer is shown, we can't change old published answers.Thank you for your updated positive view. We highly appreciate it!Kind regards, ABBYY Support Team

Indispensable for importing and exporting ocr'd files
Dvlrbbt
I frequently receive scanned PDF's in image format only that I need to markup and comment, which is only fully possible with recognized text. No other PDF scanner app that I have found, despite many having otherwise excellent features, allows you to import PDF files and then export the text recognized files to another app, except for this one. This single app has now made my iPad a true laptop replacement. Thanks for a fantastic, simple to use app that does exactly what it promises.
