Consider alternatives for
- Guaranteed recognition of every handwritten page
Limitations & considerations
- The public US in-app purchase list does not state the billing periods for several Plus amounts. Confirm the period and eligibility on the purchase sheet.
- OCR and advanced export access depend on entitlement; legacy buyers can have different access. On-device OCR does not make every cloud destination local.

A student describes scanning homework for digital submission, valuing edge detection, adjustable cropping and correction of angled captures.
Read in context: One everyday scanning account, not a measured OCR-accuracy comparison or proof of the current free entitlement.

Jun 19, 2025 · historical workflow report
A long-time user reports lost automation workflows. Their later update says scan renaming and a newly created workflow work again, while the old workflows remain lost.
Read in context: Do not repeat the renaming failure as still unresolved. This is a user report, not our reproduction of the current app or proof that backups are currently unavailable.
How to read disagreement
Different opinions can reflect different jobs, versions, devices or paid plans. We do not call a few comments “the consensus.” A consequential factual conflict that remains after checking those differences is a candidate for a focused hands-on test. A preference for one interface over another usually is not.
