Textgrabber 6 Real Time Ocr App Reviews

It works well with Spanish and English text, so far i didn't find mistakes, that is exactly what i did expect from the app.

An excellent app

I can’t believe I just paid $5 for an app that is absolutely useless. What is the purpose of a text grab app that can’t recognize simple punctuation. If I needed help grabbing text that my 6 year typed up this might be helpful. Other than that complete waste of money.

Long story short I had a 9 page essay saved online and it got deleted. Naturally, I thought using this app and my paper copy would be an easy way to re-write the thing and get it online again. It wasn't. This app is a scam and a waste of money. It copies the words so laughably bad it looks like a toddler typed it up.

This app works pretty well. However while using it to OCR recipes, I found a couple of things it does stumble on. First, it often converts lower-case L to a forward slash “/“. Second, fractions consisting of two numbers separated by a slash, e.g. “1/4”, are often converted to garbage. This problem is worse when reading a stylized fraction where the first number sits above the second number - that is, the 2 numbers do not share a baseline.

Good app and pretty reliable in is OCR. Is been my go to for years

My daily beast; great ocr tool, and more.

Saves me a lot of time when copying portions of deeds in the court house when doing deed research!

Wish this app would support Arabic language ☹️😢

waste of $5 cannot recognize anything i am sayinf

Many promises but very little action. Instructions are lacking which could improve ratings.

Just what I wanted!

The ability to get the real time scanned number, add prefix and suffix to it by the app (previously set) and promo to call. I would love to see this on the next update.

Have a screenshot with the serial number or tracking number that you need? On mobile comes in handy quite often. It’s difficult to toggle back-and-forth between applications and grab chunks of numbers and letters. Just take a screenshot and feed it to this application and then copy and paste away.

I recommend

While I have had my gripes about ABBYY’s price and what I believe is a clear loss in the quality of the apps (ie it’s still hard to find better desktop software!), I nonetheless have to say this app is excellent. I am a PhD candidate in the humanities, and had to pass four research languages in order to complete the program. That meant I had to learn to translate quickly, and recognize common phrases in each language. If one is looking for the parsing or definition of a word then a lexicon is best, but if one needs to actually translate and work through sentence structure, then this is one of the most helpful apps I’ve found. I continue to use it for quick translation or to check my own rendering. *i do echo previous comments regarding whether the app utilizes the hardware of the latest iPhone effectively (it doesn’t); the iPhones have the best cameras on the market, and yet the ABBYY apps seem to struggle to take decent pictures. Sadly, it’s often easier and more accurate to take a picture with the native camera app and then import into the suite of ABBYY apps. (I have received multiple responses to this issue telling me I’m doing it wrong, but I have an actual lighting setup and a device that holds the phone over the page...I’m sure I will get corrected again 🙄 but there is some difference - that said ABBYY is still the best available).

Please add this caperbility

The best of its jind! I highly recommend it.

Pointless app. It fails to translate from and to popular European languages such as English, German, Finnish, Russian, Italian. It does good pics using an iPad's cam, though.

Great program use it often

Extraordinaria app para los amantes de la lectura y el estudio. Facilita el aprendizaje.

Work as expected.

If you need an app that captures English and translates it into unintelligible wingdings then this is the app for you. If you want to throw your money away on a paid app that does not work as advertised and does not accurately lift text from photographs then look no further. If you want an app that can translate up to 90 languages... poorly... then this my friend is the app for you.

It does what it says. The foreign languages cost extra, but whatever. I like using this for snagging recipes out of old cookbooks.

It does a great job. Simply awesome 👍

awesome

Powerful tool to put text where you need it without having to retype it. Such a great help!

很好，非常好

Love it

Excellent product

I think if I could use TextGrabber in the photo app share sheet, it would be better and more convenient. Can TextGrabber OCR PDF files?

I've downloaded three other apps after reading reviews about how those new ones are the "best" but I keep going back to TextGrabber after comparing their output based on the same scan/photo. TextGrabber always produces the most accurate scans, and preserves the formatting as well.

When you need to extract text from a picture, this is a super handy tool.

Not great with handwritten things. But works.

Good

Helpful app

The main reason I got Text Grabber was to transfer courier-font typewritten pages to editable text. Although it performed the best out of all the apps I’ve tried so far, it’s accuracy for my needs is still sporadic and incomplete. For everything but what I needed, this app is excellent.

This app doesn’t have any Philippine languages. They don’t tell you this before you purchase it. Then you are stuck paying for money for something you can’t use.

Outstanding app! Supremely simple and straightforward to use; OCR accuracy is essentially 100%; and English to Spanish translation is also outstanding. I would, however, being able to have the app intelligently recognize multiple column (like newspapers and magazines) articles, and thereby recognize the text per column instead of recognizing the article strictly from top to bottom disregarding the columns—which products unusable gibberish. Additionally, it would be nice to be able to scan mute-pages in one session by appending successive pages to the initial page scanned. My extra desires aside, however, this TextGrabber version earns my 5-Star rating!

Realmente es una aplicación que cumple lo que promete. Excelentes resultados!!!!

Good App

I like the app

Good for get text off documents such as pdf or photos... accuracy may depend on the quality of the camera on your device!

👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

Please think about adding ability to replace replace/all in text that has been captured. Or a list of word/sentences to never render into ocr’d text. I’d pay for this as an in app purchase! 1: please add more flexibility. Like ios share sheet extension access to send to textgrabber. Ability to take screenshot in iOS 11 and immediately send to textgrabber by clicking on the screenshot thumbnail. Ability to edit straight in textgrabber from where a photo is full screen opened from camera roll eg three little dots within circle ... 2: The latest ipads and phones are quite powerful. Looking forward to the app, hopefully this one, that let’s me upload a OCR pdf and automatically snapshot all the pages into editable text. That will be the holy grail and I’d surely pay for the update or in app purchase.

Such high ratings for an app that constantly either not doing what it’s suppose to. OCR feature need work more text recognition...I could really do without all those symbol @&$”#%*€£¥> when it’s done scanning. It is annoying, very annoying. The paid finish product is very disappointing. Also, I’d like the developer to include Lao and Thai language in the translation feature. If I had known that Thai and Lao language translation was not included, I would not had bought it because it’s practically useless to me. How do I request for a refund in that regard? Edit: I just check again, there is no Thai or Lao language option for the translation feature? If there is it certainly isn’t on mine. How do I get it?

Works as expected.

This is a wonderful app! The only thing that would help a bunch would be an Action Extension so I could send images directly to it rather than saving them, opening the app, and then pulling them in. An extensive URL scheme would also be fantastic, but that would just be for the advanced users. Thank you!

The app is good, but has trouble sometimes recognizing the characters. I.e., mistaking ‘F’ for ‘P’ and other simple swaps. Characters will sometimes be mistaken for punctuation marks and split into random strings such as “/-:.,”. It works well enough for anyone to get it, despite its issues.

Great app

I save quotes of my reading. When cut and paste does not work I instead take a screen shot, open this utility, open most recent photo, OCR then cut and paste.

Does everything I need and more

I’m in Korea and trying to read package labels in grocery stores and public signs explaining a statue or tourist site. The app usually says it can’t identify the language and stops there. Or, it will let me know it’s having trouble and ask if I want to continue. I click yes and I just get gibberish. It’s a great idea if it would work.
