What the OCR app is for
Text Scanner [OCR] is an optical character recognition tool. It takes text that appears in an image and turns it into text you can select, copy and reuse. The developer aims it at two situations: a phone number or web address printed in a magazine or brochure, which is slow to type by hand, and notes written on a blackboard or whiteboard.
The main use is getting text off paper or a screen without retyping it. It suits anyone who regularly needs to move printed contact details, links or notes into their phone.
Capturing text from camera and photos
You can point the camera at printed text and have it recognized on the spot, or pick an existing photo from your album. Both routes lead to the same recognized text.
The listing says the recognition handles handwriting as well as print, and works with more than 50 languages. The developer describes the speed and accuracy as the highest available, with no test figures given.
Acting on recognized text
Once text is recognized, the app can open a URL in a browser or start a phone call to a number it finds. It can also copy the text to the clipboard, so you can paste it into another app.
There is also an option to send the text by e-mail. The listing describes these as direct actions on the recognized text, not separate tools.
Saving recognized text to Google Drive and Keep
Recognized text can be saved straight to Google Drive or to Google Keep. That lets you keep a whiteboard memo or a copied note in the same place as your other files and notes, without retyping it.
Together these options cover the two cases the developer describes: pulling a link or number off a page and turning handwritten notes into text you can keep.
