Description

Perfect OCR gives you both an accurate general purpose OCR app and a quality document scanner. Now you can scan and OCR your letter-size or A4 documents with an accuracy of 90% or more, edit, copy and store the recognized text, and e-mail your documents as PDF files with text, SINGLE page image, or both together!

NOTE: To ensure the advertised results it is important that you follow the OCR TIPS below (or in the app's help).

"It worked great for me! I translated a whole story in spanish using the espanol language preference and then I copied and pasted it into a translator to get the whole story in English!"
"This app is really very good and I find it to be very accurate!"

Perfect OCR scans your documents using advanced image-processing algorithms to eliminate uneven lighting and shadows and improve contrast. The result is the clearest and most readable scans possible from the iPhone's camera. Perfect OCR also offers SureScan, our proprietary scanning mode that delivers sharper images with less jitter or smear.

Our unique "Email to myself" feature lets you send documents to a predefined address, or even upload them to an online storage service like Evernote or Box.net, with a single tap. Uploading documents to online services via email is fast, secure, and can be done even if you're temporarily off line. Refer to app help for details.

All processing happens on your iPhone, and the confidentiality of your data is never compromised. There is also no subscription fee, and no Internet access is needed to scan documents or run OCR.

• When scanning books keep the pages as flat as possible and your iPhone parallel to the surface.
• Perfect OCR cannot recognize handwritten, very large text or spreadsheets correctly.
• Make sure to select the right language for OCR in app settings.

Very good and does what it states

This app does what it states and does so very well. I would echo others comments on making sure you take the photo with good light to achieve good OCR results. My experience thus far had been very good. Some extra line breaks intoduced in the finished text, though can be edited via the in built editor, a spellchecker would be a useful addition. In addition, for the future, the ability to integrate with google docs etc, share product via wifi, table support, and business card recognition with fields are something to think about. Please do not let my future enhancement wants, distract from your purchase. This app is good and I fully recommend it. No need to upload docs for processing, it's all done on the device, so privacy and security issue are a non issue. Well done.

Just didn’t work

Got it to scan a screen capture jpeg, tried a few different setting but I couldn’t recognise a single word!

Very impressive early version!

Credit where credit is due, this is quite an effective OCR reader.

I find there is ONLY one thing that is currently missing which could make thos app very sort-after if the feature was included and unless I've missed it within the options somewhere, it needs spelling checker/suggestion algoritms in the final text editing stage of the document scanned. This final Spell check/edit process would best be presented by having all possible miss-spell'ed words 'highlighted' within the final presented converted-to-text document (which may at time be a lot) and then on the fly just 'touch' each highlighted word and a small box already at the top of the screen (or pop-up box- choose'able within options/settings) will offer suggested replacements or allow you to type/edit replacements with predictive words appearing as-you-type to prevent you from further miss-spelling.

Naturally this would require a good dictionary on board..

Keep up the excellent work!
