Hi Richard, Out of curiosity, did you set the recognition language for TextGrabber to English under settings before you ran your scan? This option is at the start of the Settings screen. Just a first thought based on my experience with using OCR programs in multiple languages. And even with

OK, I did not set the recognition language first. I personally don't want to use an app that doesn't remember my settings. The paper was square, etc. Also, you can use line, word or character navigation in Prizmo just fine, which I think Sandy had mentioned as an advantage for TextGrabber, but

Richard, I would check the alignment of your iPhone against the edge of the box. Those look like skew errors for Text Grabber. Text Grabber is almost not at all forgiving for skew whilst Prizmo gives some skew forgiveness. Note: skew is tilt of text off the 90 degrees horizontal and vertical

Hi Richard, Once you set your language in Text Grabber, it will save that setting until you choose to change the setting. Chuck On Mar 19, 1:20 pm, Richard Turner richard.turne...@gmail.com wrote: OK, I did not set the recognition language first.  I personally don't want to use an app
