This applicaton has helped a lot with recreating packaging text that has been outlined. It has some trouble with accents (understandable), but the main problem I have seen is that is very often will interpret a lowercase L as an uppercase i. This seems to happen most often with French text, with words like le, la, les. But it also did it in the middle of words. One more thing - it very often interpreted a hyphen as an M-Dash.Still worth having — it has saved me a lot of re-typing.

The entire point of this app is to capture text accurately and allow you to paste it somewhere so as to avoid re-typing it. The app captures the text flawlessly, the problem is that it doesn’t translate it to editable text accurately. Not even close. Every single thing I captured with the app required more “fixing” than it was worth. The longer the text, the more fixing it requires. I’m a fast typist, so I really could have typed 3 paragraphs of text faster than I can edit all the errors Aristocrat made in the OCR process.I give it one start because it launches and captures text, and one star because the dev is trying to provide a solution to a very real problem. Unfortunately it falls flat on its face.

seems to handle bar codes and small QR codes, but doesnt really even come close with a large QR code containing, say, a publis PGP key.

For those who've tried this and don’t see the app when it’s running, just look at the top of the screen for the A icon in the system bar. Click on it or use the hot-key combination to capture the screen an/or copy. It seems to do that fine. My main complaint is the Text OCR is very inaccurate; at least it was on the PDF document I was trying to capture. I like the idea of this app but it needs work on the OCR accuracy.
