vFlat Scan - PDF Scanner,OCR 4+

Great companion for physical books

This app has been a great tool for helping me catch up on reading my physical books. I scan the particular chapter of the book I’m reading. The scans are fast and high-quality. They are also arranged in the correct order. Feature requests :
1. In the ‘Text’ view, pls provide different background modes - eg. A dark mode, sepia page mode, light green like the Kindle app.
2. In the Text mode, please allow edits to correct minor errors in the text recognition. All over, a fantastic app.

I look forward to using more Text Recognition with paid credits. I hope the developers listen to the community and update the app with requested features.

Confusing interface and doesn’t always straighten text

At first it didn’t straighten out the lines of a scanned book at all - its most important feature. But when I downloaded the paid version it at least tried. This isn’t a smart business strategy - making the trial version ineffective. But anyway… Even the paid version is not perfect. It is good enough for personal use I suppose, but takes some practice and trial and error to scan flat documents properly, and scanning books fails to create acceptable scans 25% of the time. Text would not be straightened near the spine, or some words would be enlarged or out of focus, or part of the page would be cropped out. You really have to flatten the book pages to get it to work more often that that. So one star lost for that. It loses an additional star for its confusing user interface on both the iPhone and PC. It is awkward to upload scans, view date/time of each one on the PC, and even see which pages go with which documents. On the PC it just shows you a list of all the pages (as JPGs) that you’ve ever scanned. Combining the pages is a very manual process requiring Adobe Acrobat Pro or similar tool. The interface on the phone app isn’t much better. It needs a lot of work.

Scan your favorite books so you can read them anywhere

I enjoy being able to read my books anywhere I go. I have a walking library of my books I am learning and reviewing in my smartphone everywhere I go. Bored waiting for the doctor to finally show up in your examination room? Pull up your favorite subject you are currently learning and transform the boredom into productive time. I have an iPhone 13 and it is crazy easy to scan a chapter of a book I am working on. Takes a couple minutes to scan and upload a pdf of a dozen pages to my Google Drive and access it from all over the world. Very easy and convenient! I love it!!!
