“I use the app to scan newspaper and magazine articles, the conversion
to text is excellent if I need to reference the text in materials for
my students“ - Rachel Heath, Teacher

seconds whilst sitting in the restaurant, amazing!“ - Lucky Brekova,

fully integrates into Android Talkback and Explore by touch. Users

camera or an existing image from your gallery. Rotate and crop the
text you want to extract.
* Then extract the text using our powerful server-side OCR that runs
in the background so you can carry on using your phone.

you can play back the text, sentence by sentence directly through
Scanthing.

information, such as Telephone Numbers, Web URLs and Email Addresses
