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.

## LiveScan Reviews in United States

### ***-- "Makes a few errors"
This app seems to struggle somewhat with uppercase English text. When extracting text from a TIFF I noticed it tends to misread D or Q as "O", and VV as "W" or even "WV". Very occasionally gives "L" in place of I. If accuracy is important for your project be sure to give it a good proofreading before proceeding.

Still, it's frequently able to find text where Adobe Acrobat would fall flat on its face, so 3 stars for that.
-- zeekseek, 2023-05-01

### *---- "so you basically couldn't program a way to close the installation window?"
1- it's not free
2- you made it impossible to close the installation window without restarting the machine.

worst app I've ever downloaded
-- Ben82378629031956, 2022-09-18

### ***** "Flawless and SO EASY"
My hat off to the delelpor. This is so easy to use and saved me WAY more in the first use than what it cost. Now I can get a good nights sleep instead of dreaming about stupid numbers and letters!
-- Plcb4, 2021-11-23

### ***** "Absolutely amazing"
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." - Arthur C. Clarke
-- Semele_, 2021-07-29

### ***** "Surprisingly useful"
I’m surprised at how often I’m using this app. Text images on Twitter, excerpts from books I’m reading, for my notes. Lovely, useful, and cross-platform to boot.
-- jlundell, 2021-05-04

### ***** "Wow!"
This app is amazing. After 5 minutes of use, I knew I had to get a lifetime license. Works great on both my iphone and Mac. This will save me so much time. The accuracy of text from screen capture and camera is frightening in a good way.
-- andrewrodney, 2021-02-25

### ***** "Possible tool for blind users."
I'm looking forward to trying this app out to recognize text on labels, signs, etc.  Will update soon.  It would be nice to have handwriting recognition as that's difficult for me to see.
-- SeanCPDX, 2021-02-20

### ***** "I have been wanting this for years"
I have had the need for exactly this app for years.

Suddenly I hear about it and I have already used it half a dozen times in one day for real!

Works seamlessly and fast. Zero mistakes that I have seen. Thanks to whomever developed this app, it's so rare to see new softwre that just does something you need. Poof!
-- GabrielDoesminecraft, 2021-02-20

### ***** "Amazing App!!"
How many times have you wished you could just take a picture of a flyer and auto magically call the phone number or go to the website? Well with this app you can! 

The developer is very responsive and also has a great offer: whatever subscription you get on your iPhone isNot only available on all your devices but via family sharing all your families devices. We just bought the $9.99 lifetime subscription-WHAT a deal!
