Re: DocScanner Pro OCR app
Hi Anthony, I'm in the US, and this app still shows up free for me, though I don't expect it will be for much longer. It's a Free App of the Day selection. Did you double tap on the link? There is an older DocScanner app by the same people, and that app is not on sale. The one I linked was newly released on July 7, 2013, and was $6.99, currently free, version 1.0 of DocScanner Pro. Then there is DocScanner: Scan Multipage Documents to Beautiful PDFs version 6.0.3 that is $4.99 (iPhone and iPad) and DocScanner Classic version 5.1.2 for iPhone only) that is $9.99. All those are different apps by the same developer, and not free.

RE: DocScanner Pro OCR app
Hi Anthony, You might have been looking at the wrong DocScanner app since there are 4 of them and when I searched for DocScanner Pro SayText also came up I guess because it's from the same developer. I typed in DocScanner Pro and tapped search and it was the first search result and it was still free just now. If you only type in DocScanner without the Pro then DocScanner shows up as the first search result and it is $4.99 and I believe it's their older app. There also is DocScanner Classic which is even more at $9.99 and DocScanner Fast which is $2.99.
