Scan & Translate+ Text Grabber Reviews

English language only Natural American Citizen My surname is Spanish derived from Levi of the 12 Tribes.

At least 2-3 times a year I receive documents in Spanish only delivered by USPS.
Which Should be available in English and Spanish and not discriminate or assume a Spanish Surname Legal Citizen Born and 2nd generation American Native American Indian
Spanish, White, Mexican Jewish, French, Bass, And Baltic ancestry
Spanish only. It irks me to think English Information is also translated in Spanish in all information addressed to California Residents.
I am proud of all I am but do not assume I speak only the languages of the countries of my Ancestors. Native American Indian is the language of my USA heritage and English the second of First Nation People
The bad part is this is from an Organization who helps Spanish speaking People is the US
I inquired in English and not online with this Letter Sender Identified as.
If you want to be treated equal begin with your organization first,

This translation Site helped me understand who wanted my information without acknowledging if I understood the language it is typed in.

Now I can make sure this organization f F it’s mot use my name or personal information again!

This translator is horrible. Even google can do better.

First, why does it say “unable to recognize” every time I take a photo? I try different lightings, I make sure the words are clear, why isn’t it working? It worked the first time I tried to translate it. Why isn’t it working now?

Second, the fact that I’m only allowed to take 5 photos before I have to pay, is extremely stupid, considering it never actually translates my images, and when it does, the translation doesn’t even make sense. You only get to take 5 photos that aren’t translated correctly, or don’t translate at all, and then you have to pay 35-40 dollars if you want more. I have no problem paying for something that I want. However, 35-40 dollars for an app that seems to have no work or effort put into it when it was made, is just ridiculous. It seems like they only want you to pay, and that’s most likely the truth.

Unbelievable this has to be the most intuitive + user friendly interface app I have used in a long time. Moreover, it does what it says. There was lyrics that I was wanting to share but the site had disabled the copy and paste feature. I searched for a solution and found ScanTranslateTextGrabber. So to I took a screen grab of the image with lyrics then downloaded it onto ScanTranslateTextGrabber and in five seconds it extracted the text from the image into my notepad. I cannot oversell ScanTranslateTextGrabber enough. I hardly ever write reviews but felt it imperative in the situation. Especially with it being free!

So um it works for ya know only like 5 photos. And you have to pay to get more phots.. that’s so effing dumb I’m sorry but it really is. What if someone needed ScanTranslateTextGrabber for an emergency? (Idk maybe someone will XD) I was trying to translate a manga and I couldn’t even do the whole thing because of this I could only do two sentences and who knows they might be wrong but if I were to run ScanTranslateTextGrabber make it all free. Or at lease make it where you have to pay before hand like make ScanTranslateTextGrabber a dollar if you want your effing money that bad. Seriously if this company even reads he reviews lots of people want it to be completely free so ya know maybe take that into consideration

I loved ScanTranslateTextGrabber at first — really great at picking up characters even on really low res pictures — but for the last few months ScanTranslateTextGrabber has become extremely laggy and clunky. It crashes a lot, and sometimes it doesn’t register my input for a good ten seconds before responding, so now starting up ScanTranslateTextGrabber and translating even a single word can take several minutes when it used to take 30 seconds. No other app of mine (and I have many) acts like this.

I want to love it like I used to, so I’m hoping an update will fix these issues. Until then I’m defaulting to the less desirable but faster Google Translate app.

I am writing a paper where I am using long quotes from a specific edition of the bible (for a bible as literature class) and this has made it so much easier to be able to cite without typing out the hundred or so word quotes.
My only problem is it occasionally messes up words here and there, but a quick look over and you should be able to spot them easily

I didn’t mind the fact I had to print out the pattern I wanted translated from German to English. I do mind that when it captures the selected text it is not as pictured in numbered {1,2,3} presentations. It captures in paragraph type form. And translates the same way. It doesn’t translate all the text either. I got ScanTranslateTextGrabber to help translate all the text. Not just here and there common used English words. I would give this more stars if capture was as pictured and all words are translated. I did edit to have the numbers in order to the left side. It translated still in paragraph type form and I wasn’t able to edit the translation.

I downloaded ScanTranslateTextGrabber to try it out on Japanese. I spent an hour trying to figure out how it worked. I managed to record and save a couple of very simple Japanese phrases, but I couldn’t get ScanTranslateTextGrabber to do anything with them. If you can get it to work, great! But I couldn’t get it to even read the documents, let alone translate them.

Completely unintuitive. You’re on your own!

I suggest reading the positive reviews for ScanTranslateTextGrabber. Most of them are vacuous and completely devoid of useful content, and strongly give the impression of being fake. ScanTranslateTextGrabber seems mainly designed to separate you from your money by getting you to subscribe to a paid version.

I’m trying to translate Japanese text from a comic book, the translations I’m getting aren’t very clear at times but unfortunately I’ve been fumbling a bit trying to keep the comic book steady and my phone as well so it might just be me. I’ve had ScanTranslateTextGrabber since yesterday but today it’s frozen three separate times and I could only get ScanTranslateTextGrabber to function again by shutting off my phone and turning it on again. I've sent an email to the company so I really hope this doesn’t continue to be an issue.

ScanTranslateTextGrabber use to be great. A fantastic app for translating stuff when I needed it on rare occasions. I even purchased the full version a long time ago to help support ScanTranslateTextGrabber and in case I ever needed more than three translations. Now a year or so later and they’ve updated it so you need a subscription in order to get the full version? Okay so you took away the product I purchased and now implemented this new subscription version. Great thanks. Don’t download this. Not only have they scammed old customers this way, but ScanTranslateTextGrabber has gotten worse considering every one of my three times I tried to translate a small piece of text it came up with a paragraph long page of text.

ScanTranslateTextGrabber worked decently. I used this for a book I had bought (which is in complete korean). It was a kpop book, and I already knew the lyrics, but I wanted to see the other pages. I tested it on the lyrics and it wasn't accurate much. There were spelling errors and lyrics that aren't in the song, like "don't bite me if you drink alcohol". Overall it worked, but when I tested it on other pages, it just didn't seem right. It would go from giant paragraphs to short misspelled words. And sometimes, it would not recognize images that were clear!

ScanTranslateTextGrabber use to be the best. It use to translate the words while still keeping the picture as the background. So if you had to translate a page of a book, it would keep the same page and translate the words like if the words were originally in your native language.
Now all it does is get the words and translates them without your original photo. Its a whole mess now, words are out of order. idk whose idea it was to change it. Bad idea, i ended my subscription.

ScanTranslateTextGrabber hasn't worked for some time now, at least when trying to grab text and translate from a gallery photo. It allows you to set up but then when you crop your selection and press the button to execute, it just gets stuck, every time the same thing. Which is a bummer because this used to be my favorite one and I've kept it on my phone a good 6 months going it would get fixed

I’m taking a Chinese course online (some advice for people who want to take such a complex class online, don’t), and the course doesn’t really do a lot of teaching. This has helped me figure so many things out from making sense of a phrase to just getting a refresher on a quick word. It especially helps since typing characters is very hard if not impossible.

Tried to scan a paragraph, it kept saying "move closer", so it only could pick up half the area I was trying to scan. Then it said it couldn't scan so I had to do it manually. When I said "translate", it copied the scanned text so I then had to go outside ScanTranslateTextGrabber and paste it, and it was still in the original language, not translated. What was supposed to be the purpose of ScanTranslateTextGrabber again?

EDUT: Tried again, it finally translated the small section of the paragraph that I had scanned. Now it won't do anything else unless I buy it. Nope!

When I first got ScanTranslateTextGrabber , it worked alright. It was annoying to have to fix what it actually said to get a “proper” translation. It would also take forever if I wanted to translate more than 2 sentences and would barley pick up on periods or dashes. The worst part is you can only use it 5 times before paying a ridiculous amount! If you are going to make someone pay, just have them pay for ScanTranslateTextGrabber when they get it instead of tricking them for only a demo of the real thing. Would definitely NOT recommend.

I love how easy it is to use it and since my phone has a good camera it almost always works, i also like the way it lets you crop out where you want to translate. The only thing I wish was different is that I wish I could speed up the speech.

After subscribing to their plan it justwont open the actual app. 😡

Figured out i had to delete and reinstall ScanTranslateTextGrabber for it to work. It works fine although some translations are a bit but its good enough to figure out what the foreign text is saying

I was translating an article from a modern German rock music magazine. German and English slang mixed together. Tried five apps for help. Only Scan&Translate did everything I needed. (Only it still took a human brain to figure out that those two lonely words “sicherlich nicht“ at the end of a very long German sentence completely changed the meaning of the sentence!

Grabbed a free booklet on the way out of my favorite shop in France totally oblivious to the fact that it was written in French instead of English! Whoops! ScanTranslateTextGrabber was amazingly helpful. The grammar was fantastically accurate which I know is a problem for some apps and I used it to translate the entire book with no problems! Super nice and quick too!

ScanTranslateTextGrabber works very well and I see it has been very good with sentence reconstruction. Sometimes ScanTranslateTextGrabber randomly does not reflect (misses) letters or words and therefore doesn’t display and/or interpret words that it missed. It will read and interpret bold, underlined, and/or italicized text and it will distinguish between upper and lower case letters.

I'll give ScanTranslateTextGrabber three stars because it is mostly helpful- that being said, I attempted to use it to help translate some Chinese characters from my text book and was given some very interesting translations. You can figure it out if you have a dictionary beside you or use Pleco to help you fill in the gaps where ScanTranslateTextGrabber can't help, but otherwise ScanTranslateTextGrabber serves its purpose and works like a charm!

I have a Japanese N3DS game and was wondering; If I take a snapshot of the screen, will it translate the text? If not, do I have to handwrite the seen text and take a snapshot of that for it to translate properly. I have no rating to really give ScanTranslateTextGrabber cuz I haven’t began to use it, so for default, I gave it an average rating of three stars. If you guys could answer my questions that would be great 👍🏾. I use an iOS device w/ latest update 📱.

I bought and successfully tested ScanTranslateTextGrabber before using it for two weeks of intense (and expensive) research in Switzerland. Now I’m home and ScanTranslateTextGrabber is “frozen.” With multiple tries I can get to the last of my scanned copies but can’t send them or scroll to others. No word back yet from support. I’m close to panic. Really wish they’d respond. I am noticing that with a one-star review, I can’t post because every conceivable nickname is taken. Hence I’m trying with two stars.
