The app has a simple and effective UI where you can either tap/drag to convert images to text live with the camera or use images/screenshots from your Photo Library. In the short setup process, you can pick if you want to detect “English, French, German etc.” or “Chinese Characters.” The app comes from Gentlemen Coders who make the popular RAW Power photo editing app for iOS/macOS. In our testing, this is the best iPhone and iPad app to convert images to text, and there’s also a Mac version of LiveScan.
