This is amazing, now I can easily edit and critique writing. And a snap to delete when done too, nice. This should win an award for the most useful app in the play store! 👍❤👍❤😎 You rock Mr. Wellnitz! For all the time saved with this, the tiny mistakes it makes are nothing. It doesn't like underlined words at all. Oh, well!

Works like a charm. If your image is a screengrab or 90° head-on, great. But if it's angled (Like a photo of a newspaper article taken at an angle) TEXT FAIRY can still read it. No problem. You line up the guidelines to the angles of the image and it does it's OCR thing. 5⛤

Just downloaded it today and have scanned a few pages. It works very well and converts to PDF nicely! Now I'm wondering what the catch is because it's free without ads. Four stars because I've had it for less than an hour and can't write a fully encompassing review.

This app is great! Take a photo of text from a text book and it converts it to a text file. You can edit the text in case it doesn't translate perfectly. Sometimes it messes up at the edge of the page near the spine. It also reads the text for you if you don't want to read it yourself. Can share it to drop box or save as a PDF. Awesome!

This app is incredibly useful!! I've used it to extract chunks of texts so that I can have an easier time finding good quotes for essays. I've also used it to digitalise question sheets that I would otherwise have to type manually. All of this in both English and Spanish. I can't see myself not having this app anymore.

I love this app, but I would love it more if I could edit and manage multi-image documents. You can add pages, but you can't delete or reorder them, hence why I need to use a different app just to delete/redo a botched scan :( Otherwise I'd rate 5 stars

I have went through tons and tons of OCR apps, and every single one of them are either useless, or are demanding your money. This is the only app I have seen that gives it's best and asks for the least, so I would sincerely like to thank you for bringing such a wonderful app into our world.

I never write reviews but I think this is going to make my life so much easier. I'm dyslexic and the fact that it has a text to speak option makes me so happy... and I love how I can make a resume on those resume websites and screencap the preview so I don't have to pay for it and then I can run it through this app and I can copy and paste it into any document I want.

Amazing! Just amazing! Works a treat and helped me declutter my wallet. All those business cards that were making my wallet explode are now neatly typed out in my mobile phone's note app with very little effort. I wanted to buy the pro of this but I guess they don't have the paid option yet. Hope it remains ad free. :)

I loved this app.. Because I think this app "free from ads.." And soo simple to use... It can read English books perfectly.. without any mistakes... Supports many languages... But Arabic not available.. and Malayalam is not working properly... I thing they will fix bug's.. But I ❤❤loved❤❤ this app... Am waiting for apps like this... Because they provided many functions... And I think its free from ads...

This is better than similar commercial apps. I just installed Textgrabber from Abbyy and immediately requested a refund when I compared the quality of its output which turned out to be inferior to Text Fairy's. This simply is the best app of its kind on Playstore.

This saved my life, because of this i could complete my assignment. Just love it thank you guys for making this marvelous app for helping us like poor fellows who are stuck up with assignments. Love you guys really. Thank you. God bless you all abundantly. Amen.

What a brilliant app. Obviously it's not faultless so do continue to optimize it. But when you consider just how complex this task is then I'm really pleased with what this app can do. Made my life a lot easier when digitising some of my favourite recipe books. Thank you!

since the last update, the app can no longer read texts properly. it messes up a lot in long photos. even in the shorter ones. I think I'll revert back to the older version. it's a lot better than this version..

Very good ad-free app. I especially appreciate the option to save as plain text and email the results - that allows me to edit and combine output into 1 file. Weakness: inserts line breaks that don't exist in the source.

Spot-on, exact and delivering right on time. I was in a meeting, client handed me this document he didnt hv softcopy for. I flipped my cell, in a blink of an eye i had him rcv text on his email, he was shocked like jawdropped.

Very good. Incandescant bulb surprisingly had moire flicker on my cell phone - not a fault of TFairy Needs good light. Pages must be flat. (Take a steel L rule to the library?). Some obscure words not recognised. I don't know if other OCR apps have bigger dictionaries (very old words from Scots.. some manual work required). I will try under fluorescents... Led bulbs..

I am using this app for a long time. This reduces the typing works for me. The college students are unaware of it. If they come to know that this will reduce their typing process, there will be lot of downloads for this app!

A life saver I have just moved to The Netherlands and being bombarded with immigration and all sorts of administrative documents. Within seconds I translate the text in English and I feel confident I can successfully settle in this new environment.

I scanned a page with joining english font but it didn't scanned it properly. It processed with some mathematical number, dashes and slashes even though the picture was neat and clear and i clicked it in daylight. Kindly fix this

Excellent app!! The only disadvantage is that it cannot convert the words in italic style.Remaining everything was perfect.This is the thing I observed in this app. Please include this feature too.

This is one of the best, and easiest to use OCRs I have ever tried. It is almost 100% accurate when the picture quality is decent-good. The only issue I have with it is that it can never read the smaller than or equal, and larger than or equal symbols (≤ and ≥), or dashes ( - ) between words and letters, like "30-50".

Nice app Wen i first dowbloaded this app it worked very well. How ever after the last few updates the app is failing wen it comes to scaning dubble columns pleas fix.

Kind of useless. Only creates PDF for you. Tried changing angles, lighting and a lot of stuff multiple times but it is unable to create text document.

Amazing. This is the first free app I can honestly say I would be happy to pay for. While the app store is awash with OCR apps that scan to PDF very few produce text files and even less can carry out character recognition close to this app. My only concern is with some of the app permissions requested such as Full Network Access. Even if OCR was performed remotely I don't see why FNA is required. Bottom line? The best of the best!

Only a test sofar.... from a terrible (poor contrast, not flat) scanned picture of a recipe displayed on a laptop screen, I took a picture of that from the app -result -98% correct ... that's impressive.... and FAST .. even gave option to read out aloud

I use the scanner app for for programming it lets me take pictures of processes and turn them into documents that I can read and change easily. There are many times when a process is running or showing a report that it is impossible to get the actual printout for so this is a very convenient app. It is super accurate compared to many others I have tried and it saves me a ton of time in typing and fixing incorrect scan translations. I gave this app the full 5 stars which is rare it does exactly what its supposed to and its simple to use, from download to my first use and printout was maybe 2 min. Good job on this one!! Thank you.

I really like this app! Works well. However... how do you get the voice to stop reading the text? It keeps going in other languages and I can't find a pause or stop button!!

It would be better if it provide the option to save as a word file as well. And It's little bit untraceable that on which location our file has been saved in phone or SD card memory .

Saved me from getting beaten up I had to submit project and didn't had time for it. I downloaded project online but it was in images format. It changed it in text and I got it printed.. user interface is also good!

Really really helpful, needed to type some documents it would have taken me at least 30mins but this app did it in 5 mins with very very few errors. Love it

I am sorry, but this app is mostly trash. I tried different photos and it could nearly never get the text right. Moreover it wasn't even able to read a plane and simple text and a clear background. And even when it would work you would still have to format your text.

As good as machine vision gets in 2016 I'm impressed by the way this works. It does really well with table data like nutrition facts. Not so well with receipts and weird abbreviations.

its really good read the tips. brief and tell u what wont work (blurry photo, etc). but im fine with this app and will keep it on my phone.

This is one of the best OCR scanners on Google play, if not the best one. If the picture quality is good, it can read/ convert almost 100%, even from Vietnamese language which contains a lot of diacritics. Congratulations and thanks for such awesome work!

I have been longing for this app since 9th grade. WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN ON MY LIFE

Great, does what it says. It's not at all complicated to use but still gets the job done. Scanning speed is decent, but remember that the clearer the image, the better the results and speed. It will show the whole process of scanning as well, which​ in itself is quite satisfying. It even provides feedback on your image, such as whether it's clear enough or light enough etc. It also told me I was getting better at using the app, which was what I was feeling at the exact same time due to a good scan, which made me feel nice.

Absolutely love this I have narcolepsy and reading can trigger me to fall asleep as well as dyslexia. One of my features with screenshots is that it will take a very long photograph going to the next page and taking the picture which makes a very narrow long picture. It has said that it may not be able to read the screen shot because at first it was seeing that it was very long and narrow when I moved the lines along the very long text of the screenshot which I had done the reviews on this app by doing a screenshot of everybody's comment it then scanned everything and read it completely perfect with my disabilities I comprehend better by hearing I can already see how this is going to benefit my health much much better. Even in apps where you want to share them they send a internet link which none of my readers should read before however I have a button on the phone that floats and in the multiple choices one of them is a screenshot this screenshot feature will continually take the picture until it reaches the bottom of the article. This is why the picture itself is very long and narrow I am on Cloud 9 with this application I highly recommend it and will recommend it to my doctor that deals with my narcolepsy and on my narcolepsy web group❤ this is not just a four or five star application it is a 100 star 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟 100 thumbs up👍👍👍👍👍

Wow! Amazing work text fairy team. Love the app..no more typing long urls or addresses on google maps. Super..works on blurry images too. Merci.

Works great! No unnecessary permissions. However, the cropping mechanism is a little difficult to use. It would be nice if there was a way to force straight lines.
