About this app

Turn paper into searchable text in seconds. OCRScanner photographs a page, straightens it, and reads the text right on your phone — your documents are never uploaded.

SCAN
• Point the camera at a page: the edges are found automatically and the page is straightened
• Scan several pages into one document
• Import photos you already have, without giving access to your whole library
• Clean up pages with Magic, Grayscale or Black & White filters

RECOGNISE
• Text recognition runs on your device and works without internet
• Edit the recognised text, copy all of it or one block
• Tap a line to see exactly where it is on the page, and the other way around
• Unclear lines are highlighted so you know what to check

FIND
• Search the text of every scan you've ever made
• Results open the scan right at the match
• Rename scans and add tags to stay organised

SHARE
• Export searchable PDFs (page images with a hidden text layer), plain text files or page images
• Share to any app with the system share sheet

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• No account, no sign-up
• Scans are stored only on your device
• Optional app lock with fingerprint, face or screen lock
• Light and dark mode

PREMIUM (one-time purchase, no subscription)
• No ads
• Chinese, Japanese and Korean text (plus Hindi and other Devanagari text on Android)
• Merge several scans into one PDF or text file

The free version shows ads from Google AdMob. Text recognition, search and export always stay on your device.
