Customer Reviews

Excellent. Works well (5 stars)
Tried it and find it works well even on obscure fonts. Needs a solid background with contrast. Was accurate even from shooting text from a computer screen. Be sure to correct letters including capitalization if needed to get best match. No crashes, works fine. Great for graphics work

Terrible (1 star)
Package deal: useless AND frustrating! Does not identify connected letters (says so itself in the help). I can tell why it is free.

iPad (3 stars)
Please make a version for iPad. I have a feeling it would work much better on the larger screen.
