Text Extractor Pro to images Reviews

Tried TextExtractorProtoimages and was not able to scan and OCR any of the pages. Very few of the words were readable. Good concept but bad implementation.

I tried it in both, English and Spanish. The extraction is better in English, but it still awful. Also it seems to have problems distinguishing commas and dots (points, periods, whatever you call it)

So sorry, guys. It is a great idea, but it clearly needs work. I tried it on an English language piece and it came out really bad. But, don't be discouraged. Keep trying. It could be a winner. Thanks for the effort.

App starts up and I am able take picture or import it from the library. The OCR however, does not work well. It will probably take less time to type the text then to edit the ocred text.

Oh it tries..but 3 times I have tried to have it transform a small paragraph. It gets a bunch of poorly and misspelled words. TextExtractorProtoimages has great potential, but there are still some bugs to squash. =(

TextExtractorProtoimages cannot read a simple high resolution screencap of black and white text with good contrast. Also, even though it's a paid app, it has aggressively persistent full-screen popup ads.

Not much of use for small font text, or long lines of text...

Ok it has failed to work right for me. I tested it and used a little screen shot of nothing but text and it failed so hard by giving me a bunch of chicken scratch and random letters . I love the concept but it needs work.

So far, TextExtractorProtoimages does not do a very good job. It does a somewhat decent job, but can't do the whole text I scan. If it improves TextExtractorProtoimages will get 4-5 stars. Now, it's just not there yet. Very inaccurate. Oh, and it doesn't do Arabic...I read that somewhere!

I tried 2 separate articles from photos containing print. Neither one was able to be recognized by TextExtractorProtoimages as English words and translate them to editable text. The letter combinations made for great humor but isn't something TextExtractorProtoimages is supposed to do.

It won't recognize small text like a pic taken from screen shot of a web page.

I used English text. Most of the negative reviews seem to have problems with other languages. If you can live with that, this is worth a try.

Only needs Translation support for languages other than English and it will be 5 stars.

TextExtractorProtoimages must've been improved since the earlier reviews. I tested it a few times and it appears to work and recognize just fine, English that is.

I just scanned a difficult doc with 4 or 5 different font sizes and formats. It looked to be better than 95% accurate. You have to hold the phone upright.

This is not mainly a translation app, so that guy can shut up with his one star review. TextExtractorProtoimages works great!

It had a great interface to scan my doc. I like it!

Yay.

You, sir, are clearly an idiot. If you read the instructions, you'd know to face the sun, turn the phone upside down, and then proceed.

So the majority of us will benefit greatly from this intuitive app. For English speakers it's a 5 star app.
