Description

From the listing uploaded by “catappult”.

Scan any text with your device camera. Works offline! Does not send your data to any server for processing. The text will show in the app where you can view it, edit it, share it with any other app, save it as a file or send it to a printer or create a PDF with it using PDF Creator. You can search the scanned text in real time and capture the whole text or lines containing the search words only.

Required hardware & features

Text Scanner (offline OCR) APK: questions and answers

Can I install this APK over the version I already have?

Only if it is signed with the same certificate as the copy on your phone and isn't an older version. If Android says “App not installed”, the certificates differ; uninstalling your copy first works but deletes its data unless it is backed up.

Is the Text Scanner (offline OCR) APK safe?

No one can promise that a file is safe, but some things can be checked. The source store's check of the developer's signature failed. After downloading, check that the file's MD5 is b1f9f65987bd5e05dcda7b1d205960c6.
