I am impressed. Even though my base image included a table format with a watermark, this app successfully and accurately captured text from a phone image with very minor misidentification of characters that I was very easily able to correct. I simply copied the output sent into an email and edited later. Obviously it didn't retain the tabular layout, (which I didn't expect it to) but the text was output in logical blocks of text, that I could have reconstructed the table had that been my goal.

Simple and easy way to get editable text out of a jpg file. I wanted to quote a post on social media. The big boys offer you apps that convert and scan content into PDF files, but they are expensive and frequently won't pull out the text from a PDF. THIS APP WAS EASY TO USE, worked well, and didn't force me to buy a "PRO" version to find out if it works. One can buy a lifetime upgrade for a very reasonable price. I haven't tried all of its features, but what I did try has me sold.
