Ratings and Reviews
Useful app for scanning the text
Easy to use for capturing the text and translating. Having to use many other apps for this purpose. I would like to give it a go for this one.
Developer Response ,
hello.
Thank you for those kind words.
We will continue to improve in the future.
thank you.
Very Nicely Done
I love using this app. I had been using a Chrome extension to accomplish text extraction, but I often work from PDFs or Word Docs, or simply want to scrape text from an image. This app alway works regardless of where the text/image is found. I only take away one star because I wish the text extraction for Mandarin included both the Hanzi and Pinyin.
