Hello,
Chiming in here: I downloaded both Perfect OCR and Text Detective over the
weekend. Now, my experience with these scanning apps teaches me that practise
makes nearly perfect, but I must say that so far I get much, much better
results with both prizmo and SayText. Indeed, I am finding that SayText is
becoming my scanning app of preference! Even over Prizmo. Prizmo is always
worth having onboard for those really tricky documents that SayText just wont
manage, but for the majority of the time, I find SayText the easiest, most
intuitive and, very often, the best at giving good results, of all the scanning
apps. As yet, I have not had any sort of readable results from Text Detective,
but must admit that SayText was the same at the beginning, so, maybe, I will be
singing its praises after the next update, however, for now, I would recommend
SayText, which, I think, is still free? Could be wrong about that though.If it
is, I would highly recommend people to give it a try, you will see what I mean
about ease of use, but you do have to lift the phone till you hear the beeps,
moving it slowly higher and higher till you hear them, then waiting for the
click of the camera.
Happy snapping, Sandy.
