Absolutely perfect! It's FREE, DOES WHAT IT SAYS, no muss no fuss, quickly, and without making you jump through hoops! And it's less than 10 megabytes! AND it presents its results in a simple text box that can easily be edited, cut and pasted into anything you want! No bloat, no unnecessary and unneeded "features"! Just a simple but excellent app! Just like the good old-fashioned shareware model! How did Google let this on its web store? Must be some kind of mistake! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

previous review in 2018 had an error. just tried the most recent version today and used it on a string of binary. I had a problem until I enlarged the binary as much as I could and filled my phone screen with it, this is how I have to do this lol. 1 mm more made all the difference. I can manually select the text from the app and copy it but the app doesn't recognize the numbers after it converts them, it says there's no text (because it's just numbers?). thank you sir, five stars from one!

a few mistakes here and there. I'm using it to convert an entire textbook so I can make it an audiobook. best app ever, so easy. I would love to contribute $5 for this. I just wanted to add, other apps seem to do better in getting the correct text but this one has the best options to select what text you want on a page and to retain the formatting. It's kind of a trade-off.
