Hello Nancy,
TextGrabber, the program that I said worked slightly better and faster
than Prizmo on screen captures, is actually ABBYY's OCR program for
iOS devices. The full name is TextGrabber + Translator by ABBYY, but
you get better search results in the app store if you just type in

Ester Have you tried Abbyy Fine reader? I'm just asking because it works well
on PDFs on the Mac. There is an app for iPad and iPhone but I haven't tried it
yet.

Hi Jodie and Holly,
Short of using a web upload service that returns results to you at a
later time, and which is easier to use from a desktop computer, my
experience is the same as Jodie's. None of the current iOS OCR apps
will work with PDF files -- it has to be a jpg or png image files.

Hi Holly. The only way I have been able to do this with an image of text
emailed to me is to take a screen shot of the page which then saves it to the
last item on my camera role. From here I can open my preferred ocr app - had
best outcomes with prismo, and open the last item on the camera role
BlankHi,
Does anyone know of an app that will allow me to import a PDF that is a scanned
immage and perform OCR on it? Some of my school articles are like this, and I'd
like a way to access them on my phone. Perhaps I'll send the Devs of Text
Detective a request to add this feature. Thanks.
Ho
