VDScan

Thanks for the quick update to fix: ios 17 app no longer works. Crashes instantly

I’m dyslexic, the fact that I can now scan documents at any time using my phone and then have those documents read out to me is literally life changing, The fact that it also stores the document for me to listen to again later is also invaluable. I also find it really helpful being able to save text to clipboard at any point and then have its contents read to me is sooooo useful. My ability to process information audibly is fine l, my ability to process information by reading is like wading through mud.

Voice dream scanner crashed when using this app ,very disappointing this app is a waste of my time and a waste of my money Thanks Voice Dream I think You need to go back to the drawing board.

This is a brilliant app. The scanning and OSR are great. The only problem is that this app does crash and close down sometimes. Any scanning work already done is then lost.

As a totally blind person, I have found this to be the easiest app to use for scanning documents as it does not seem to be quite as dependent on how well I focus the camera. It seems to be extremely accurate and I would recommend it.

I’m severely visually impaired and use voice dream scanner to read books that I can’t get in electronic format I am currently ringing up a jig to make holding the pages at the correct orientation easier so it is very forgiving.

In theory this should be a fantastic app as Voice Dream Reader is the best app I’ve ever installed, but this isn’t. Spend your money but be prepared to be disappointed unless you are scanning the simplest of text documents with no columns. If scanning any newspaper or complicated legal document then the app needs to be upgraded or they need to license text scanner like Abby Finereader that can discriminate between a very thin gap between columns and a big space between words. As this app can’t recognise such gaps you’ll get it reading text that runs across the page or column gaps making the sentence meaningless. And if you want to read and view the original scan at the same time then each paragraph is boxed and the reader doesn’t continue read unless you press on the next boxed text block. So a bit of a disappointment.

I agree with others who have said what a great and accurate scan thank you for the time you must have spent creating it. ning app this is.

If you are a student and hope to scan a book, arm yourself with PLENTY OF TIME AND PATIENCE to try and take a picture, edit its margins, retake the picture if the app sees skewed lines and misses words... Better results if you take the photos on just the phone default camera and then send them to an OCR application on your PC/Mac. Or better still, if you can use a table scanner. Only good for A4 sheets or emergency work (?) but not many sheets as your arms get tired by holding the phone steady page after page. SO SLOW- urgh!!

I have invested too much money in the effort to find a reasonably accurate OCR scanner. Don’t make my mistake, just buy this app: accuracy is, compared to the rest, outstanding.
