Text Detective

This is definitely my go to app every time I need to read a page of text quickly. It works almost flawlessly. The best feature of this app is that you do not have to try to tap on the Scan or take picture button when the phone positioned to scan. Lift the phone or tablet a forearm length from the document and The application automatically selects the best image.

Works fine for me. Point app at the text you want to read, click the screen to start, get prompted for giving permission to use camera (1st time only) and voila it shows on screen what it detected and then when you click manage you can get the text out. Feature Requests: - Torch not working to turn on LED flashlight - Share button to send text to other apps like Evernote - Ability to drag a box around the text I want instead of getting everything the camera sees.

When I first downloaded this app, it worked well. It's been a while since I've used it and now when I try to use it the app continues to shut down on me as soon as I try to work it. Don't waste your time until they get this fixed.
