Very simple Image Text recognition OCR app. Tap the share button on any photo and select this extension. It will use optical character recognition and open the text contained in the image. The extension also shows the EXIF metadata of the image and detects phone numbers, addresses, sites and emails.

All processing is done on the device itself and your image data never leaves your device. 100% private. No ads, No Subscriptions, No 3rd party analytics.

- Ability to scan and perform OCR from camera directly from the app
- Shortcuts support to make your workflow even easier - the shortcut action accepts an image and returns a JSON string with text, email, phone, address, site and optional exif data keys. The app contains instructions on how to use the shortcut action and also includes an example camera shortcut. I think this is the most powerful thing I have ever worked on!
- App auto detects phone numbers, addresses, sites and emails from the recognized text and simple ability to open them in respective apps
- Settings in the app for parsing tabular data. You can now specify separators to use for table rows, columns, text which is close by in the same line or new line. This way you can read images containing tables and get a CSV back.
- Tapping the recognized lines highlights them in the image
- Searching for text highlights the location of the line in the image
- Ability to free hand crop and perform OCR on certain portion of the image
- Accurate mode is on by default which recognizes custom fonts and poor lighting. Tap the action button on top right of the extension to switch to "Fast" mode (less accurate)
- "Intelligent New Line" mode setting which only adds new line characters if the top left corner of the line is below the bottom left of the previous line. This prevents unnecessary new lines.
- Ability to copy and share the recognized text and EXIF data
- Ability to share the image without exif metadata
- Additional languages available iOS 14 onwards: "en-US", "fr-FR", "it-IT", "de-DE", "es-ES", "pt-BR"
- Free version shows few lines of recognized text for free. Small IAP unlocks recognizing unlimited lines forever.
