Amazed at how great it is. Am using it to translate a book from Italian to English (no English edition available). And it's doing an amazing job. A few notes that I've learned. If the book pages are not completely flat, ithe OCR occasionally misses the last character (where the page is curving at the spine). Next, it sometimes helps the final English translation if I remove the grad carriage returns (from the book's actual layout), and let normal wrapping happen. Otherwise, amazing!

Very accurate scan & text translator. Transcribes things easily and quite accurately. Has cropping capabilities and the interface is beautiful. A well-designed app and very useful. I use it for translating Japanese text in photobooks to English. If it can be synced to all your devices under your Google login that would make it perfect. Oh, and if there was a buy for a lifetime purchase for using the app. Looking into it. I think they do have that option as well.
