= Important Notes =
Garbage in, garbage out - make sure text is sharp and large enough for recognition.
**Make sure text is upright (horizontally aligned to the app)** Beware of camera rotation!
Handwritten text will not work.
Text on top of unclean background (images or borders/lines in excel sheet) will not work.
PDF source is not supported.
OCR for Gujarati, Persian and Punjabi is experimental and the result is very bad. You have been warned.

Comments on OCR Instantly for Android

★★★★☆ Jay Davis · Mar 23, 2020

This is a good OCR app that'll decipher text from images from files or photos you can take in the app and let you copy/paste it into other apps. The accuracy is about 4/5, but of course, the better image you give it, the better the results. Sometimes I use it to get digital copy redemption codes, sometimes tracking numbers from receipts, etc. It also allows you to crop the image, so you can get just the area you want read by the software and enhance it for potentially better results.

★★★★☆ Shuklendu Ayachit · Mar 6, 2019

Please add support for Marathi Language also. Both Hindi and Marathi languages uses same characters.

★☆☆☆☆ A Google user · Oct 17, 2018

It won't let me download any supported languages. My phone is Android, Samsung Galaxy SIII. I had the same problem on another phone - I don't remember what type of phone it was except Android. I have been using Ocr Instantly for more than a year, but I haven't been able to find another that's nearly as good as OCR Instantly was.

★☆☆☆☆ Imogen Stefan-Rasmus · Jun 6, 2021

I purchased the text to speech upgrade, and I'm so disappointed. The speech is unnatural, disjointed and hard to understand. It also mispronounced words which makes it even more difficult to understand. I requested a refund through Google Play, and I was denied. Overall I do not recommend if you are looking for text to speech features.

★☆☆☆☆ nitish shukla · Mar 30, 2018

Taking too much time. First I was thinking that it may be due to hindi language but after using english I found that the case is same.

★☆☆☆☆ Paul Howes · Jul 16, 2017

No matter what I try the app closes every time I hit ocr, useless, doesn't work since latest update, tried to reinstall, reboot, it sucks now
