LiveScan makes it quick and easy to capture text from your camera, photo library, or apps, like Twitter and Facebook. It's like Apple's new LiveText feature, but runs on all iOS 14 and 15 devices. LiveScan has support for multiple languages, plug-ins, translation and one-tap access to popular internet services. With LiveScan, you can instantly: * Visit links in presentations on video conferences * Take a picture of restaurant sign and get Yelp reviews. * Look up addresses on business cards in Apple Maps or Google Maps. * Find definitions to new words with the Dictionary function. * Use the built-in access to Google Translate. * Call phone numbers. * Quickly look up a product on Amazon or eBay. * Have the text spoken to you aloud! LiveScan can detect words in eight different languages: English, Spanish, French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Chinese (Simplified and Traditional). Using the LiveScan extension, you can send images to LiveScan from other apps, like Files.app and Twitter. You can even extend the app with custom JSON or JavaScript plugins! You can try LiveScan for free as long as you want. All features are available, but the trial is limited to 50 characters per detection. Subscriptions and Purchases support Family Sharing! Purchases or subscriptions includes LiveScan for iOS. LiveScan can be bought either as a single, lifetime purchase, or as a subscription. Subscriptions are monthly or yearly. Purchases or subscriptions includes LiveScan for macOS. LiveScan respects your privacy, and does not transmit your camera captures anywhere. LiveScan requires iOS 14 and later.

many times when you want to copy some text all sorts of garbage comes along. not with livescan though. it copies exactly what you select. highly recommended.

Eine megapraktische kleine App, die genau das tut was sie soll: Text erkennen und schnell verfügbar machen. Egal ob direkt mit der Kamera abfotografiert, aus der Fotos-App heraus oder ein beliebiger Screenshot der per Teilen an LiveScan geht: Den gewünschten Text auswählen und zack steht er schon bereit und lässt sich nach Belieben weiterverwenden. Das klingt vielleicht unspektakulär, ist aber einfach saupraktisch weil die App so einfach wie effektiv ist. Die OCR funktioniert hervorragend (ich schätze es wird auch die iOS integrierte Texterkennung genutzt u. die ist super). Bin Fan! P.S. Kauf/Abo schließt die Mac App mit ein, top!!

Accounting student here. Spent the last hour trying to find an app that will let me convert my handwritten notes to text in a simple, quick, no faff way Tried Msoft Lens and the Adobe scanning app which are both brilliant at producing beautiful scans but are expensive and only export to pdf and you need the Microsoft app or a one drive subscription before you can finally grab your bit of OCR’d text, basically a bunch of faff... This app is unbelievably simple and quick to use Was surprised at how well it picked up my handwritten notes, not perfectly but almost deffo down to my rushed handwriting Tested it on my textbook at it picked up literally everything and had it available on my clipboard for me to drop into my notes app, no faff Will keep using it for the rest of the week on the free subscription and will probs be purchasing the full version. Only £5.99 which seems pretty good value compared to the others options out there

Easy to use, helps me a lot when dealing with paperwork as sometimes the documents I get from clients are a bit unclear or difficult to take the information from.

Works well, gets text from screenshots or photos. On iPad you can say “Hey Siri take a screenshot” share to the app and select the text to recognise on the screen which is great for online presentations. 50 characters will be enough for a lot of people so it’s effectively free if that’s all you need.

My initial experience was poor, but I contacted the developer, and he kindly gave me a lifetime subscription to get past a bug which caused the app to consider my 7-day trial expired before I even got to try it the morning after downloading it. The app is straightforward to use, and very handy if you have a need to convert text images to OCR. I am for now giving it a 4 star rating on the hope that the bug will be addressed, and that he won't go broke giving away free licenses.

Don’t offer an app as free that you can’t use at all unless you subscribe.
