Hi all,

DocScanner Pro by Haave Oy just got released:
https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/docscanner-pro/id669943429?mt=8

Before anyone gets excited, I'm pretty sure this app is not going to be your 
OCR app of choice, but it's a new app from the people who developed the SayText 
app, and it's free today.  And it's not so much that the app doesn't have 
labeled controls, as that the layout and workflow are not particularly 
conveniently set out for our use, and there is meant to be some interactive 
adjustment steps, although the app tries to automatically detect edges.  The 
main reason for posting this is so that Sandy and other list members who 
explore lots of OCR apps can get this to play with it while it's free.  
SayText, although not so easy to use unless you had already mastered freehand 
OCR apps with apps like Prizmo, amazingly produced reasonable results at very 
low light levels if you managed to hold the iPhone camera flat, steady, and 
aligned at the correct height (which is higher than for most OCR apps, since 
the app tries to automatically detect the edges of pages.)

This app does handle different languages, and there is an instructions guide at 
the very end of the Settings screen (use four finger tap on bottom half of 
screen to move there).  I havent't really gotten this working at all yet, but 
it seems to have more possibilities than the earlier DocScanner app from these 
folks.  Not sure whether this will be usable.

HTH.  Cheers,

Esther
