Perfect OCR Positive Reviews

Not perfect but good enoughPerfect OCR… maybe not perfect but I'm impressed. It works for me on this gen 5 iPod. It doesn't seem fussy, it's really very good… The text editing part of it could use some work but I just move to Writer and fix it. Thanks guys… I have an update: this thing still works on our new iPad generation six. Amazing..DadadataVersion: 2.4.3

OCR is a part of everyday life for people who are blind!I wanted to take a moment to that Perfect OCR for a great product. OCR is s part of my everyday life as a person who is blind. I purchased the product for the little price they were asking to test it and see if it worked with voice over, apples built in accessibilty screen reader! I was amazed! Took me about ten times to get the shot right, once I did viola I had a perfect ocr'd document! Now that's accessibilty! There is a company that makes a product that has this feature on a candy bar style phone that scans but the overall package is over fifteen hundred dollars! Does not do what my apple does! This is a wondeful product for anyone! Don't listen to those who are bad mouthing it! When I can sit in a meeting and have a piece of paper handed to me, now I have the same access as anyone else! Thanks perfect OCR for making a product that levels the playing field for people living with a vision loss!.Sharon G from WSBVersion: 0

UpdateThe app is working good but needs some updates and improvements to be optimized with iPhoneX..Saif.fVersion: 2.4.3

GREAT APP!!!I had a problem with this app at first, but after the upgrade it works perfectly. I just want to point out that this company has the BEST customer service. If you send an email they will get back to you in a reasonable amount of time and really try to help you. For people complaining about this app you should email your problem to them and get their help. I'm pretty sure that most of the bad reviews were done before the upgrade. This app absolutely does what it says and is definitely worth the money..EmmyHopefulVersion: 0

Works great on iPhone 4This is the awesome Turboscan with the addition of OCR. This scanner is the best scanner available in the app store. The negative ratings and remarks come from people who do not know how to use OCR properly or have older phones. The OCR works wonderfully and it's amazing on the iPhone 4. I'm sure it's even better on the 4s. However, it is not magic; you need a clean source for the text, good light, and a steady hand. Use the "Surescan" option. There may be a few errors but it beats typing the whole thing..Byte-MeVersion: 2.4.1

Pretty good, but note the limitationsI was trying to scan some old bulletins (typewritten, so pretty standard font). What I wanted was a searchable PDF file of the bulletin. This product will not help me with that. The OCR was OK. If the text was prose, then it did a good job. It fell down when the type was not perfectly clear, and when ALL CAPS were used (which the editor used often for people's names). Also the bulletins tended to have little pictures spread across the page. That tripped it up, and they were converted to random gibberish characters. My rating would have been higher, and I would find the app useful if it could mail the entire PDF when I was done, with the error-filled text, so that I could correct it offline. The description says it, but I'll be clear -- when you send a "image" PDF, your only option is to send an image of the last page. Nothing else. Not the first, nor all, just the last. If you send the _text_ as PDF, it can be multi-page, but I didn't catch that subtlety before purchasing..GmcelhoeVersion: 2.4.1

Wow, just wow, works scarily great!Used this on a white iPhone 4. Was able to pick up whole pages, a few misspellings here and there due to glare and because of letter font/size change in the typography of the printed matter. Used on a Facebook screen capture and that worked as well. Extra plus: all local, no uploading images to 3rd party server for OCR and risk privacy issues. Will be recommending this app! Amazing in how accurate and fast it is!.WingedPowerVersion: 2.3

Best OCR recognization app but need multiple pages scanI love this app as this app can extract character from scan documents. but there is 2 ways of extracting character. one taking 3 contineous pictures of same page which is time consuming. taking multiple pictures. there is no auto croping boarder of the pages and need to do manually so time consuming. i would love if this app can scan multiple pages fast and recorniged OCR at once. no need to do page by page to recognized character. if you want to scan a book then this app would takes a day to completer scan. how about OCR for other language. there is only limit language this app support. please add more language. i love european language to be added. about the quality of scan pages is also quite black and white. no smooth. crispy image. how about color scan of the pages. need color pages scan..Dhan Bahadur ThapaVersion: 2.4.1

ImpressiveI was a pioneer user of Caere's Omnipage for Mac maybe 20 years ago. For several hundred dollars it performed seeming miracles. Now I have comparable power, great ease of use, and much better accuracy on my iPhone--all for a pittance. My trial OCR scans were not perfect, but they were astonishingly good; the email feature makes editing and correction a breeze. This will be a major convenience while traveling. Besides, it is a great way to impress my friends, and much cheaper than a Ferrari..Underdog2Version: 2.4.1

Frustrated at First...I have the 3G iPhone and at first didn't succeed in getting any legible results, but customer support was very helpful. What I was doing wrong was holding the iPhone too close to the document -- it must be at least 12 inches away! When I tried this (with the triple-shot photo option) I finally got some pretty good results. I still have to clean up the document with a good spell-check program, but it will come in handy when I need a portable OCR scanner. Thanks!.OobflyerVersion: 0

Awesome OCRI picked this app up today and have been scanning images to test it out. WOW is the only thing that comes to mind. I have tried images from the camera and some from my camera roll and both worked great. It had some issues with a half print, half cursive note my wife wrote, but I was expecting that. Over all this is a great app. Thanks!.WDETFitnessVersion: 0

Great appI'd give it 4.5 if I could. It works very well on standard print, and I've even managed to scan and convert to text from Kindle for Windows 8. This has gotten out of tight spots when researching, writing and presenting. Smaller text, yellowed paper, and any fancier text produce poorer results. It is quite fast for OCR, and I rarely take more than one pic per scan. If I see one fault, it is the line breaks it puts in that don't seem to match what is on the page. That makes for some tedious editing..SufferingSacroiliacVersion: 2.4.1

Really useful when you need itI had this app for a while and I thought that it did some cool stuff but I never used it until I had to go through some old reports and I had to extract information from them, this app made it much easier to extract whole paragraphs. The only tip that I suggest to use it with wifi on its faster and more accurate.RicocisVersion: 2.4.1

Awesome app! Incredibly helpful.I am always wanting to write down recipes, notes and etc. This app saves me from all the typing. Works so well for me that I only have to take one picture and the OCR gets all but two or three words. Usually just a edge word that I correct easily, or a bad picture on by part. Well worth the cost..Ersky32Version: 0

Perfect OCR on iPhone 4Perfect OCR is amazing on the iPhone 4. It wasn't that great with the 3GS but with the new camera on the new iPhone, it is amazing. I just got done scanning a page for my boss and then emailing it to her and then pasting it into Word and it worked great! Only one error. It thought that "and/or" was "and lor" :). I am thrilled! Thanks for a Great product!.Xsoldier777Version: 0

Very good app, could be betterThis is the best PDF image converter I have used, it is a must have for me. Everything looks like it when through a professional scanning machine. However it could be better. It hasn't been updated for the iPhone 5 yet, doesn't support multiple pages, and it would be nice if you could rename the file instead of the generic "document".FernandoFVersion: 2.4.1

Simply the bestTried three other more expensive products with little success. Easiest to use and worked perfect on my iPhone 4 and 3GS. In OCR mode it takes 3 pictures to increase chances of successful recognition. Then I edited it in the program and sent as a PDF.....this program is awesome and underpriced!.Thecarguru1Version: 0

Amazing recommend to all business people!This app is amazing. I am a Financial Analysis and constantly scanning and sending documents. When I tried the free version I was blown away by the clarity. I bought the full version right away. I can think of millions of USEs for this app will definitely help me ALOT!!.Romie019Version: 2.3

Works just as promised!I just got this app and had a chance to try it out. I could not believe how well it worked. It delivers what it promises and saved me from driving to send a fax that would cost me upwards of $6. You will not be disappointed if you buy this app!.Chauncey cheswickVersion: 2.4.1

Almost perfect!Very useful app! I love it. Follow the tips and use 3-scan option, and it's basically always a 5/5 OCR scan. Would be 5 stars if I didn't have to restart app after each OCR run. Doesn't crash, but nothing responds after then. Fix that, and my review would change to 5 stars..Maxine NVersion: 0

Delivers as advertisedThis little app works as good as any flatbed scanner I've used. I really Luke being able to take screen shots then go back and paste the text into a note or Word doc via Documnts to Go. Makes study time a lot more productive for me. I love it!!.McdjlVersion: 0

Works well for my needsI'm sure that I could come up with reasons of why I might want more features but for my needs it works very well. It is easy to use and makes clear scans..Bruce BackmanVersion: 2.4.1

WoW Worked the first timeI really like this app. I did what they suggested. I used a flat piece of paper, good light, rather large type--all for a trial. And it worked. Soon I had an editable copy of my text on the iPhone. Mailed it and I was set. I'll have to try it under less perfect conditions, but for now...it is Perfect OCR..Former TeachVersion: 0

Works WellI've tried this app with several documents and it works well. As long as you follow the instructions for document flatness & lighting, the text is captured with a high degree of accuracy..JAJ1957Version: 2.4.1

Great - Highly Recommend!If I use the triple picture, have the page flat, hold the camera steady and I'm scanning normal size type the OCR works every time. As accurate as any scanner I've ever used..YpsiArborVersion: 2.4.1

Works fineOk so it's not PERFECT however this is the best OCR app I've seen. It takes a little time to set the image area however it goes quick once you get used to it. I like sending the text to the clipboard then copying the entire text from there once I have done all my scans..Noraa311Version: 2.4.1

Sometimes greatIf the document is perfectly flat and camera super steady, then it's great. Or almost - superscript in citations seems to small for it to detect. But when it works, it's great. It just doesn't always work, and since I am using it for books at the moment -- a little frustrating..EanthonydcVersion: 2.4.1

Works as described!I read and followed the Tips section and this app works great! Highly recommended! I own Adobe Acrobat and its OCR is not perfect either when scanning images with text. Follow the tips and you will be happy!.PhyspikeVersion: 2.4.1

Poor typist's nirvana.As advertized, this works well in bright light with large print. Had a few hiccups when trying to scan directly from a book, but when I photocopied it and ocr'ed from that page it was 100 percent. Will prove very useful for my needs..Aughee ben DaghiVersion: 0

Very good OCRBefore rewarding five stars, I want to try using this app with more examples of text. However, it is has performed very well so far. If you need OCR without online access, it is about your only effective choice in the app store at this time..DavidFosterVersion: 0

A lot betterJust works. The sure scan works very well, it gives whichever camera you have more reach..K123321Version: 2.4.1

Incredible app!!!!I used this app to copy the text on a report at work and translate it to English. Very accurate! It's well worth the money. Support for the app is quick and very helpful. I really recommend the app!.SHdz09Version: 2.4.1

Great app!!This little app is so easy to use! I can't help but really be impressed so far. So many of the business card programs consume more of my time than they'd ever be able to "save." this OCR is A+ thus far!!.GnomesR-usVersion: 2.4.1

Follow the OCR tipsFor those who aren't successfull with OCR: it does work, but only if the in-app OCR tips are followed. It is very important that the text is HORIZONTAL before running OCR (rotation can be used). For models 3G and 2G: iPhone should be held 12 inches away from the document while shooting..OCRguruVersion: 0

This one beats them all! KILLER APPI should know, since I have two other scanning apps: • Scanner Pro • PocketScan I recommend a good scanner app to everyone! Seriously, when you want to email text-based images shot with your mobile phone and don't want servers to choke on your 5 or 8 megapixel hi res image, there's simply no better way. Bottom line: Stop being a data hog and scan it next time!.Lars VanGoghVersion: 2.4.1

Working great!I'm glad I ignored the couple of negative reviews and got it. It works great for me. Thanks for a decent ocr! I use it to scan in information and paste in notes for calendar events..ElaurcellVersion: 2.4.1

Works well with iPhone 4I've had no issues. I usually use it to make PDFs of legal documents, and photos. Works great for that. The OCR works as well as any OCR program I have used -about 90% or better..RealmovieloverVersion: 2.3

FinallyWhat's with all the neg reviews??? I have been looking forever for a decent OCR program. This one works great for me. I think the problem with others is poor picture quality. People you can get good OCR results from low res pics like those from earlier generations of IPhones..User401Version: 2.4.1

Great scanner replacement but OCR doesn't work 100%I use this app a lot. Definitely worth the $2. But OCR isn't perfect. Better than alternatives but still lacking in speed and quality. Also, would be nice to be able to attach multiple images to an email..FastesthandsVersion: 2.3

EXCELENT!!!!!!For years I have been searching for a portable solution to scan my documents. And for years I have been disappointed with the useless scanning applications available on the iPhone, iPad that take a picture of a paper and give you horrible results. That was until I discovered Turbo scan! This application is the best in the App Store! I've tried 3 to 4 top-rated scanning applications like scanner Pro which apparently people say is better than Turbo scan. However, I have tested both apps in great detail. And I have concluded turbo scan gives you consistent high-quality scans each time whereas scanner Pro does not! Also Turbo scan has a very simple selection of settings compared to other apps. Taking a scan takes literally 10 seconds. Only thing scanner Pro does better than Turbo scan, is that it has an iPad version of the app whereas Turbo scan does not. However, I still choose Turbo scan for reliable scans each time I need to scan a document on my iPad. I would highly recommend Turbo scan to anybody that is looking for a serious, professional solution to scanning documents on the go! Don't waste your time / money on those expensive pocket scanners that require you to go through so many hassles to get a scan or useless apps such as scanner Pro! My .2 cents. - Rocky Dubb.

It works surprisingly well - worth more than the price!I was skeptical, especially since I have a 3GS with the less-than-magical camera that iPhone 4 owners enjoy. But I scanned a printout of a 3-paragraph PowerPoint slide WITH ZERO ERRORS on my first try -- and I haven't looked back since! A bonus use of this excellent app is to "scrape" content off a website or application that doesn't let you copy and paste. Just point your iPhone at the monitor, click, and send the contents to e-mail in seconds!.Babylon1957Version: 0

AmazingOCR is a hard thing to perfect, this software is pretty amazing all things considered. If you would have told me 10 years ago, that I would be able to OCR and email from the palm of my hand, I wouldn't have believes you. 20 years ago, i would have said, what is OCR? And where is the camera in my startac?.Andy514Version: 0

Works wellAfter a little research and realizing that Turbo Scan and Perfect OCR are essentially the same scanner with perfect OCR adding the Character recognition software, I am prepared to upgrade my rating to four stars. I have learned when using a dark background and sufficient light that the "edge of page" sensing works very well and I can get straight documents. The product works as described. Color PDF's are dissapointing but, in the description for the Turbo Scan, Pixoft warns you about that. Considering that you are using a hand held camera, the scanner and OCR functions as good as can be expected. Overall, I am very pleased with what you can do with so little..RoybertVersion: 0

Works okay ... Good idea ... Evernote?This enables me to scan documents, email them in PDF, and scan the document with OCR. Great idea - simple interface - results aren't too stunning but this is about what can be expected from the iPhone camera. Memory errors every time this program is used are annoying. Yes, restarting will fix it but every time I use it??? Also, uploading to Evernote would be a nice feature - just a suggestion - other similar apps do it..Thinker45Version: 0

Perfect OCR Negative Reviews

Lesser quality than TurboScanAlmost useless..Santa BabarianVersion: 2.4.3

Doesn't quite deliverI am just coming to the conclusion that OCR can't really be done effectively with an Ipod camera. The best I could do with this application was about 80-90% accuracy when scanning about half a page of text. And that was under optimal conditions of high quality text, 12 point, 3X scan setting, etc. Since the errors get scattered through the text, changing 10 to 20% of it turns out to be just a little too much work. I would have done better just typing it in. It's close. But this ocr remains just below the threshold where I could really make use of it. Maybe it works better with an Iphone; probably works better with larger text..J.PabVersion: 2.3

HopefulUpdate: I've contacted the makers twice in the last few months, and am still waiting for Dutch to be added as a translation scan language. Not good to promise and not deliver. I've only done some test scans and OCR recognition. If I get a good picture and the page is flat and well lit, and I don't take in the whole page, only a section; then I get a pretty good result. But that is a lot of "if's". Maybe it should be called Fair OCR.. not yet Perfect OCR. Is it worth a fiver? Yes.. But they need to add other languages (Dutch), and add a flatten page feature for curved text from a book scan. I'm hopeful for some improvements in version 2.0.Chris in The HagueVersion: 0

Terrible appI have an iPhone 3GS, iOS4 installed. I just downloaded Perfect OCR and it has crashed EVERY time I've used it (7 consecutive times). Several times I got a low memory warning and I performed a cold reboot. Still crashed! I've used both the single page scan and the SureScan 3x; both crashed immediately after the scans were performed. The app saved NO images to the camera roll. And tech support is difficult to reach. Don't buy this app; it is not ready for prime time!.AlvinPratherVersion: 0

It won't email my files, so it's worthless at the momentI've tried to send the OCR files to two different addresses. I've tried sending them in different formats. There is no indicator that any file was successfully mailed, and not a single file has reached my mailboxes. Furthermore, when I don't receive a file, I have to start from scratch by retaking the photos rather than just being able to resend existing OCR files. Why can't I email?.Dr.DiamondVersion: 0

Perfect OCR - Not So perfectI purchased this app for $4.99 prior to any reviews. I have been able to get it to work in maximum optimal conditions using the recommended "SureScan 3x" scan method. However with my 16GB, 3G iPhone the app keeps giving low memory warnings and crashes about 50% of the time. The app will not let me save the image after processing. Wait til the bugs are worked out!.Chief MikeVersion: 0

Pure trashThey should have paid me to put up with testing it. It wouldn't work on a standard typewritten letter, so I tried it on an ad that had only three large words in simple text font. I took three pics to give it a "super focus" and it put out nothing but a bunch of symbos that made no sense. I went to the tips, followed them exactly and got the same results. Don't waste your time or money. This is pure trash..BrimstonesAsylumVersion: 0

Not a great appThis app is a waste of time and money . Does not work as it is mentioned in the forward. OCR couldn't even recognized a document made in word. Also it can only scan one page . If you have multiple pages you have do it seperatly in seperate files which consumes a lot if time. Better to do it on a scanner. Needs to fix a lot of bugs to make it a good app..Labraham123Version: 2.4.1

After a week of use...… I have to write this review. It pains me to do this, but it does not work. Well, let me rephrase that, under PERFECT conditions, it might work. Document must be perfectly flat without any weird angles. But if that were the case, I'd run it through a scanner. Anyhow, I bought this hoping that I could take a snapshot of a book, OCR the text, and save time. Nope. This does not do it..ThelawdocVersion: 2.4.1

Did not scan lists wellI tried this app to scan a list of printed names, phone numbers and addresses (less than 20). I'm sure that's a hard thing to scan, but the bottom line is, it did not do well even when using sure scan 3x. Many errors compared to a desktop app. I will update this review if I find it useful for another scan project..NewChanceNowVersion: 2.4.1

Garbage!!Bought this app hoping to get something that does what it says, keep looking if your doing the same! Tried scanning a page of typed text, turned out horrible! Finally got something close, but would have had to fix over 50% of the words. Wish I could get my money back, and the past 1 1/2 of my life!!.ChioleromjVersion: 0
