Comments on Claro ScanPen OCR Reader for Android

★★★★★ Kalyan surapogu · Nov 28, 2019
This app is working very good. Please add telugu voice and support for scan telugu language. Thank you.
★★★★☆ Joshua Hori · Feb 18, 2017
Quite handy in a pinch for android users. Make sure the paper is flat and there shouldn't be problems with conversions from image to text; curves tend to make sentences interesting as they mix and match. Would like access to the LED for quicker focus when in dark areas, its disabled when I try to turn it on. Would also like to request a line for guidance when taking images of text for alignment purposes.
★★★★★ Andrew Stout · Jun 6, 2024
Probably the most effective and easy to use OCR reader available for phones. Always recommend this to students with Dyslexia and other reading difficulties.
★★★★★ Mindy Cawley · Dec 13, 2016
Works very well for free Was going to buy a $280 scanning pen for my dyslexic daughter buy this does the trick for free.
★★★★★ Dawn Smith · Apr 23, 2022
The app is awesome! It helps me hopes me overcome my disability when reading hard-copy documents, instructions, magazines, and more. The only drawback to the app is that it does not read handwriting.
★☆☆☆☆ Chloe Dupuis · Nov 24, 2019
It was fine at first but know there's been so many problems, it freezes, the app keeps closing and know it won't even read. I actually had to uninstall and install it but know it won't work at all. So I wouldn't recommend this app.
★☆☆☆☆ Jacqui D · May 18, 2018
It keeps displaying message no text detected. Had such high hopes for this, now deeply disappointed. I'll just have to uninstall.
★☆☆☆☆ Lauren · May 16, 2018
Unfortunately this Android version of a great iOS app is terrible. Very basic flaw...it can't detect text in images! Images are very clear. Obviously something has gone wrong.
★★☆☆☆ miliana herrera · Apr 18, 2018
It was awesome in the beginning. But then every time I would try to take a picture of a paper it would say there would be no words detected .even though the picture of the document was very clear. It's been doing this for a while now, and I deleted it and download it again. And it still wouldn't work when I try to make it read.
