What Users Say

Walt

Surprisingly accurate

"Had a photo (JPG) of a medical document and used the app. Worked well. I plan on using this instead of typing in long documents for medical records on my system. One thing about the speech (this is true of any of these types of apps) when there are words that are crammed together the speech is also jammed together. Not a real problem. Also nice to be about to edit out info on the document don't want or need."
