Pixter Scanner OCR Document

👍

In the time it’s taking me to figure out how to get the text I want from the photo, I could have typed it up myself twice.

Downloaded to attempt use of the translate function and it does not work. As a scanner it works OK but I have better scanners from other companies.

I don’t remember how long ago it was that I wrote my original review below, but opening up a Pixter to “OCR” a page out of my son’s book, I find that if I want to do what I have been doing for several years, I now have to pay for it. It seems that there have been other changes to this app that had me scratching my head. It had previously been simple and intuitive to use, but not today. So, I withdraw the five stars I had given it in my previous review from whenever that was. ——————— PREVIOUS REVIEW: Like one of the reviewers before me, this is my first time writing a review for an iPhone app. This one is perfect. I went to a bulletin board nearby, used this app to take a picture of a lot of text in the ad, and converted it to text that I was able to use immediately. This is awesome!

Edit 2/17/18 I can't carry all my books around due to a disability so I used to use this app to scan portions for class. I paid for this app, however the developers decided they wanted more money and instead of being honest and explaining why, they decided to "update" the app so it removes all functionality without warning and force me to "buy" it AGAIN! This is extremely unethical and dishonest and I'm very disappointed with the developer. It's understandable to re-evaluate a business model in order to generate income and adjust accordingly, but the means of accomplishing that shouldn't be with an underhanded dishonest approach where you essentially perform an act of theft against customers who paid for the app. If you've improved the app and need to charge for the additional functionality, explain that to your current customers and restrict them from the added functionality if they don't upgrade. If you haven't added enough functionality for it to be of additional value reinnovate instead of being lazy, greedy, and dishonest. The sad thing is I would of gladly supported the developer if they were honest with their intentions instead of resorting to extortion.

Раньше это было лучшее приложения для перевода, сейчас полное гавно

The app stopped working and I stopped further considering it one of the nicest apps in its category. Good riddance!!

This used to be a great app where you could take a picture of text, OCR it, and then translate it. Having upgraded to the most recent version, the translation module is disabled. Spend 7 bucks to enable it, and it still doesn’t work at all. I’ve been screwed, learn from my mistake.

Now this app requires that you enable notifications. Can’t skip it. Too many OCR apps out there to deal with this garbage.

I used to love and rely on this app to copy text from things that took forever to type up. But now typing is way more worth the time than spending any money on an app that doesn’t work. Nice try guys, but you should go back to how the app was. I can’t remember if this app was something that was free or if I purchased it; if I was to remember that I spent money on this app I will be very unhappy cause I’m definitely deleting it.
