Podcast Summary:
I wanted to grab some text from a document and decided to use 3 of my favorite OCR apps on my iPhone. The 3 apps I chose were:
What I found was that all 3 apps gave me really good OCR and I could copy the text and paste into an editor of choice. I chose Notes on my iPhone. The two apps that stood out for me were Seeing AI and Voice Dream Scanner with the ability to use the Text Selection feature in my rotor to grab the exact text I wanted,
thus in Envision AI, I selected all and used Text Selection in the Notes app. This is not a game breaker as the end result was successful with all 3 apps.
For efficiency and my first instinct to grab only what I wanted, Seeing AI and Voice Dream Scanner were flawless in my initial expectations of usability
Envision AI did not give the Text Selection option in the Rotor.
I will send Envision a note about this Text Selection option and how having this option would make their apps more efficient to users.
With all 3 companies being awesome in listening to the community, I am sure we will see updates in the near future. To Seeing AI, Envision AI and Voice Dream Scanner Teams, keep up the good work!
