"It worked great for me! I translated a whole story in Spanish using the Español language preference and then I copied and pasted it into a translator to get the whole story in English!"

"This app is really very good and I find it to be very accurate!" - Perfect OCR users.

Perfect OCR utilizes advanced image-processing algorithms to eliminate uneven lighting, shadows, and improve contrast when scanning documents. This results in clear and readable scans taken from the iPhone's camera. The app also includes SureScan, a proprietary scanning mode that delivers sharper images with minimal jitter or smear.

One of the unique features offered by Perfect OCR is the "Email to myself" option, which allows users to easily send documents to a predefined email address or upload them to online storage services like Evernote or Box.net with just one tap. Uploading documents via email is fast, secure, and can be done even when offline. For more details, refer to the app's help section.

All document processing takes place on your iPhone, ensuring the confidentiality of your data. There are no subscription fees, and internet access is not required for scanning documents or running OCR.

• Glossy paper may not produce optimal results due to glare.
• When scanning books, keep the pages as flat as possible and ensure your iPhone is parallel to the surface.

Note that Perfect OCR is unable to accurately recognize handwritten, very large text, or spreadsheets. Therefore, it is important to select the appropriate language for OCR in the app's settings.
