## VDScan Reviews in United States

### **--- "New layout"
I am very dissatisfied with your new layout. I find it difficult to take a picture and it is not reading as well as the older layout. I really wish you would consider putting back the old layout.
-- Disey1216, 2024-06-11

### ***** "I use this ap every day to read my continuous glucose monitor reader. This is excellent for me."
Makes needin gsighted help a lot less
-- asdfgh76543, 2024-05-04

### ***** "Company does follow its customers opinions"
Changing my recent review, they fixed my concern
-- 10n1=7n1, 2024-04-10

### **--- "Disappointed in this app"
This is harsh but I'm actually disappointed I paid for this. I need to read cards, paint bottles, and cosmetic packaging. It seems to not like shiny surfaces, elegant font, or around objects. I feel I take 5 to 10 shots before I get one that isn't either gibberish or blank in translation. Sometimes I can parse what it says but not all the time. Even plain documents are not great. Whole sections will be nonsense in the read out.
-- Redgirl024, 2023-12-26

### ****- "Would be 5 stars, but…"
I recently scanned a lengthy document—actually the majority of a soft-cover book—using VDScan; then, because I wished to save it, and knew I would probably need to scan something else using VDScan, I attempted to save the document to VoiceDream Reader.  One would think that the only thing that had to be done in order to accomplish this was to press “Save to VoiceDream Reader” and, possibly, give the document a meaningful title.  I did this, and my screen went dormant for a couple of minutes; then, the share sheet came up, so I again chose VoiceDream Reader.  The screen again went dormant; then, when it came back up, the scan had disappeared, and the document was not to be found in VoiceDream Reader.  I again scanned the document, and again attempted to send it to VoiceDream Reader.  The screen again went dormant, then the app crashed.  I have sent several memos to the developer, and have received no reply.  Knowing that the original company was bought out, I found two different addresses to which to send queries, and have used both of them.  So, what is the trick to send a document to VoiceDream Reader without losing it first?  For the record, I _did _not hit the Clear button, as I knew that this would delete all scanned pages.  I am running iOS 16.6.1, the latest versions of both VDScan and VoiceDream Reader, am finding no settings that seem incorrect, and use VoiceOver.  Since App Support isn’t replying, I hope someone out there will.

### ***-- "An excellent print reader with an unfortunate and disgusting name"
A horrible choice for the name! A shame to mar a great app with such a disgusting title.
This is an outstanding app which always works. It is feature rich, and I have found nothing that it cannot read correctly. It is impressively fast, allows me to read large or small documents, allows me to save them wherever I want, or to share them when that is necessary. Updates always add good things, never take away or break anything.
-- BookGobbler, 2023-08-20

### ***** "VDScan is my daily driver"
VDScan is my daily go to for a checking mail. It is fast and accurate.
-- jaes t, 2023-08-09

### ***-- "Name change! Why?"
What? You’re changing this one too! I Why did you abandon a very popular name like “voice dream scanner.” VDScan sound so ordinary and very boring. At least your keeping the iconic logo. But please reconsider the silly name change.
-- SoulMan!, 2023-06-21

### ***** "Excellent Tool for ADHD"
AS SOMEONE THAT HAS ADHD with a reading comprehension disability, I LOVE this app!  It makes reading so much easier!
-- GrahamClanPiper, 2023-04-08

### ***** "Voice dream scanner"
I think it’s a very good app seems to work better than the other ones that I have on my phone all right it works just as well as voice stream of Reader and I don’t have the rider but I’ve got the voice dream reader and it works very well. Thank you Leslie Ferrell.
-- Knowlynx, 2023-03-29

### ***** "my pocket buddy"
This app is more efficient than a $1000 app on my computer. Thank you for this app.
-- CutterDeedo, 2022-12-15

### ***** "The best app ever"
This app that I’m using, I really admired a lot! It does a lot for me. I like this better than seeing AI! So, please keep up the good work. I have other apps that will read on my phone, but this one is the best.
From j j
-- moosybaby, 2022-12-08

### ***** "Great app! With the most responsive developer in the App Store!"
I'm writing this update after iOS 16.0.2 came out and there was a problem with using the Ivona voices with Scanner.  Winston isolated and corrected the problem in just a couple of hours and had the updated app in the app store right away.  No one else gives that level of service!

Voice Dream Scanner is the easiest and most accurate OCR app I have used! It will only get better as multi-column support is added.
-- Turner42, 2022-09-28

### *---- "I would like a refund"
I downloaded this app to help with grad school. The voices are very monotone. I don’t know when a sentence ends and a new one begins. Common English words are mispronounced.  I thought this app would help but it does the complete opposite.
-- Alabz24, 2022-09-13

### ***** "Best scanning app I have ever used, and I have used them all"
I have tried pretty much all of the blind friendly scanning apps that have been available since 2012–including the famous one from that well-known blindness organization that doesn’t work nearly as well as its proponents claim it does. Out of all of them, I have found this one to have the best method of indicating the location of text for proper orientation of the device, and it also has very rapid recognition. Additionally, it uses local recognition and does not use the cloud, which is great for privacy. One strange and unusual problem I have just discovered with it, though most people won’t experience this, is that if you reset all settings on an iPhone, this app no longer seems able to generate the scan tone, or use the camera flash. The app must be deleted and reinstalled, which isn’t really a problem once you figure out what you have to do. That little oddity aside, this is truly a great app, and is worth 10 times the price. I know, Because I have paid 10 times the price for other scanning apps for the blind which were not nearly as good.
-- DarkSquared42, 2022-03-31

### ***** "The only scanning app you’ll ever need."
I enjoy using this app to read mail and print documents independently. The intuitive tone guidance is far better than KNFB or Seeing AI. Even in poor lighting conditions, this app picks up any printed text and stores multiple pages into a single file. VoiceDream beats the competition hands-down. You’ve tried the rest, now try the best.
-- SoundMan87, 2022-02-11

### ***** "Love it!"
I love the app! It allows me to read virtually anything I can find. I’ve been looking for something like this for a very long time and think I found it. I recommend it to anyone who is blind, low vision, and even dyslexic. Again, love it so much!
-- yrkdwn, 2022-01-27

### ***** "The best app I have ever purchased yet"
I had just purchased this Saturday and started using it I can’t believe how well it works in reading documents and other material. I’m glad that you came up with the concept for the app because, what would I do without it. It was well worth the $10! Thank you so much for this app as it makes me feel more independent and not having to rely on other people to read documents.
-- Sondra york, 2022-01-27

### ***** "The best scanner i have found for the iPhonE"
The best scanner i have found for the iPhone! So easy to use and fast. And, of course very accurate! Love the Reader as well. Thank you Voice Dream team!
-- Historical Love, 2022-01-12

### ****- "Bonjour"
On aimerait bien que vous ajoutez l’arabe
