Ratings and Reviews
I LOVE THIS APP! But!!
Don't get me wrong, I love every thing about this app. Well almost everything! For those of you that have worked with Kurzweil, this app has enormous potential. But it needs a little tweaking. This app works wonderfully well when you scan a word document, but when your scanning documents or books that have charts or text in its own boxes, it does not read each section in order. However, I still love this app & am waiting patiently for the updates.
This accessibility app has helped pave my way back to the world of literature!
I downloaded this for $8 and some odd change and it just shuts off with no explanation. Again and again.
Through my frustration, I chose to react poorly by assigning it with just a single star, and a disparaging review.
After coming back to this a day later, I loaded it onto my iPhone and second iPad. It worked beautifully!
Since this time, I’ve discovered that it wasn’t the app that was crashing. I suspect it was the case that partially obscured the flash component of the iPad.
One of my comments was that if it sounds too good to be true… It probably isn’t. My perspective has now changed. This is the first time for me when reading that something sounds too good to be true, it is!
I sheepishly apologize to the developers of this app. 🥺
This accessibility app has helped pave my way back to the world of literature!
Again, please except my humble apology. Thank you!

Amazing features for good price but crashes if you scan many pages.
It’s a good scanner at an excellent price for these features compared to other apps, but the reason for three stars only is that if you scan a lot of pages the app crashes and I’ve lost a substantial amount of my work and time because of this having to restart again. So if you use this app, scan slowly, and don’t export the images to pdf if there are a lot of pages. I’m sad to have lost my time and work by crashes.
