What's New

The new big step in the OCR technology has arrived! The scanning time is reduced and the quality of the scanning results is improved massively. Great progress has been made, especially in French and German.

This app also can scan for more languages:
Chinese, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish

The latest apple OCR technology is available since iOS14. To get the maximum of benefit out of this app you have to update your devices operating system.

The app checks your prefered language of your operating system and scans for this. If you want to scan in another language (English, Chinese, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Spanish available) you have to change your operating system language in your device settings.

Stay healthy!

App Description

A text from a book can be handled as a message and can be shared. It also contains marking and writing tools to make learning and working more efficient. No pen and paper is required anymore.

Attention: Optical Character Recognition (OCR) is a complicated task, but we are working on improving our technology steadily. We ask for understanding that special cases, crazy fonts, different languages, weak light conditions, etc. will be supported step by step via prospective updates. If there are unsatisfying results which our dev-team should focus at, feel encouraged to send us the targeted photo and/or a short explanation of your topic via mail at: [email protected]
