Latest reviews of PDFpen Scan+ with OCR, PDF text export app for iPhone and iPad
Needed to scan a few book excerpts to incorporate in article I am writing and thought this app might be what I need. Installed on my iPad Mini but when I tried to scan book pages the app kept telling me the pages were not visualizing or something. Plus was unable to copy as text the one and only selection I did manage to sort of scan. Discovered that the only way to convert the file to plain text or Word Doc would have been to use online Adobe conversion tool and pay them 23 bucks a year for a subscription. And who knows if that would have worked. Surprised that David Sparks, someone I very much respect, has been shilling for this developer by narrating a video on their web site. This app in my opinion is totally worthless and the app description is bogus. Dont waste your money.
Cannot grant app camera access. When I press the camera icon, app prompts me to grant access in the iPhones general settings. In "privacy" / "camera", app never shows up. New installation on iPhone 6 plus iOS 8.3. Please fix..
Once again Smile has applied their skills to an app that simplifies my day. Its difficult to put into words how much I appreciate this teams hard work.
If I didnt have scanner pro by readdle I might be more impressed as a scanning app. The OCR feature is pretty good as long as your document is fairly clear. Needs- multi page export to Dropbox - use of folders (dont know why its not available) - and more
Looks wonderful, but it keeps crashing: when cropping, when changing color depth, when performing OCR, when saving. I hope this can be fixed in an update. I really want this to work.
