TextScan for iPhone is a very simple and useful OCR (optical character recognition) app that allows you to snap a photo of any text, whether thats from a magazine, a street sign, phone number, or any other source, in order to copy the text to clipboard for further utilization. It can be ideal for those times when you find a story in a magazine and want to save it for reference at a later time in digital format.
After TextScan scans and recognizes the text, which normally only takes a few seconds, youll be taken to a plain text view of what you photographed.
* Current version of TextScan was created specifically to recognize text in English. Future versions will include support for more languages.
