Reviews of image reader (ocr):
the best
Using it for things where you cant copy paste the information in a reading that a teacher gives to cite information, it works great. Make sure you set it to the best setting before trying to translate otherwise it comes out as random words. (Pretty sure the other reviews didn't do this before giving up on it). I haven't tested it on harder to read text styles, but basic textbook text styles come out decently with the 1% chance a word is messed up. The only other issue is it doesn't copy paste cleanly they add 'enter' spaces at the end of each line to make it flow exactly like the picture so when copy pasting it into word or a google doc you have to clean them up, but otherwise it works.
Useless.
