About this app

Are you tired of scrolling through your large folders of memes, screenshots and images to find a specific one? Then MemeScanner is the right app for you!

MemeScanner lets you search for text inside your images and videos. To do that, MemeScanner uses Google Vision OCR to initially scan your gallery and extract the text. This allows for quick searches afterwards. When searching for a word, MemeScanner will show you every image and video on your device that contains the word, as part of the image or the file name. Opening the image/video leads you to your standard gallery app, which lets you share the image/video like you are used to.

The scan and search for images and videos with text works offline. At no point is any of your data transferred over the internet!

Scan and search for video in MemeScanner Pro only, available via in-app purchase!

Ratings and reviews

After using it for some time, I have revised the rating from 4 stars to 2. It has been abandoned by the developer, leaving the bugs unfixed. Among them: - Auto scan simply doesn't work - Manual scan requires checking off every folder, one by one, even if you have 54 of them. There are otbers, but it is immaterial because the developer will not take care of them. I hope that someone else will pick up the idea and develop a usable product. Can AI do it?

Found this on 9GAG and thought, hey I'll give it a shot. Took about 50 minutes to go through my 18k memes which was not bad since it was doing it in the background as I still could use my phone. This app works better than advertised! It can sift through all 18k instantly I was more than happy to buy the pro. My one suggestion is make it so you can swipe left and right when viewing images. Thank you for making such an amazing application!

I love this app, it is something I've needed for years! Only annoying quirk I've found so far, is that on my Samsung Galaxy S8, after I've written something and put my keyboard away, if I click on a few different pictures, sometimes the keyboard comes back and covers half the screen. It can be annaoying when looking through multible memes. Otherwise great, it really helps when I want to find a specific meme!

What’s new

New targetSdkVersion 33 and updated libraries, otherwise the app will no longer be listed in the Play Store. Sadly with new bugs: Sometimes GUI elements disappear, opening and closing the app lets them reappear.
