mOCRa: mobile OCR application (v. 2.1.1) Разработано IRLab CITIC |
mOCRa (mobile OCR application) allows you to extract text and generate searchable PDF files from the pictures taken with your phone. In this way mOCRa acts as a mobile scanner with Optical Character Recognitions abilities and PDF generation capabilities. The extracted text can be edited, saved, sent by email even the searchable PDF file attached or sent to Google search service directly from the application. mOCRa uses internet connection to make the OCR process and PDF generation. Please, take this into account if you use a mobile connection with an associated data plan.
Currently, it supports text extraction on the following languages:
* English
* German
* Italian
* French
* Spanish
* Portuguese
* Russian (experimental, no PDF generation)

[2012-09-28] Jon: Simply does not work. Even when I enhance images of documents with cam scanner this app simply does not work. |
|
[2012-09-27] Billy: Takes to long Takes to long to configure and doesn't open a PDF at all. |
|
[2012-08-28] Vucic: Not working Not working on galaxy note |
|
[2012-08-18] Stanley: Pending issues Worked ok first time, however there are interface issues on galaxy note. Camera screen does not use full screen so I cannot scan a page at a time. Also when deleting files the yes button test wraps around. I took screenshots but the mocra forum seems locked and I cannot submit pics |
|
[2012-08-05] Beth: Force close on first try HTC incredible Android 2.3 |
|
[2012-07-18] Encyc: Terrible For some reason it renders my clear photos as heavily downsized and pixelated crap, and then can't recognize even clear text. Don't bother |
|
[2012-06-30] Mark: Better than its rating Works just fine on Galaxy Note. Handled dim light where other app MobileOCR gave just gibberish. Server processing takes a moment but, hey, OCR with accuracy is not trivial. |
|
[2012-06-23] yanish: accurate up to 95% thank you for this :-) |
|
[2012-05-25] Vikas: Gud :) |
|
[2012-05-21] francis: Does what it says Performance is okay too. |
|
[2012-04-19] KTP: Sucks! |
|
[2012-03-29] c: Partly legible Not Impressed, only part of the document has been converted correctly, the remaining is bullshit |
|
[2012-03-23] Nikolay: Not really working It takes the photo, preprocessing it, trying to send it to the server and then nothing. It stays on sending, but the network is not used. So, uninstalling for now. |
|
[2012-03-16] Manni: Meh |
|
[2012-02-14] Kevin: Booooo Booooooooooooooo |
|
[2012-01-20] Matt: Why use a data connection Honestly, why would you need a data connection to do ocr? There goes using it on those confidential papers I wanted to scan /s. |
|
[2011-11-13] Martin: Quite good |
|
[2011-10-26] Graeme: One shot wonder Downloaded, installed, configured. Worked OK once, but when I tried again, it "stopped unexpectedly" and continued to do so over multiple attempts. |
|
[2011-09-27] Dr.Rahul: Needs improvement, like option for selecting the area in image to be converted to text and pdf. |
|
[2011-09-17] Adriana: I would have liked it to be able to convert pdf files too, not just images, and save text as a .doc file. Apart from that, great! |
|
[2011-09-08] Inder: does what it promises.good accuracy at ocr..only hope it could be faster. "sending to server" takes ages |
|
[2011-09-07] Jake: Looks nice. It has even it's own camera picture capturing module, but that is where it's coolness stops. Bad thing is that it is so F!@#ING slow! |
|
[2011-08-03] Pi: Meh, it doesn't process the pictures on the phone, it uses the data connection to send them on their servers. |
|
[2011-08-01] Raja: awesome app. dont mind peoples comments saying its terrible. on printed docs it works with about 80% accuracy. good enough. its free. |
|
[2011-07-15] Zoum: Nothing Not working at all |
|
[2011-06-13] font21: The OCR should take less than 60 second. It takes four minutes with about 50 percent accuracy! It should also have an LED light on/off button. |
|
[2011-04-16] Terry: meh It converted my images to pdf, but when it came to the OCR, it failed epically. To their credit, I uploaded the .jpg to GoogleDocs and received about the same quality text recognition |
|
[2011-04-03] Igor: Really crap! |
|
[2011-03-16] Khai: Not bad It works when the picture quality is clear.. Only can get 60% of accuracy. Converts some icons into symbols too |
|
[2011-03-06] Pro-Mech: Doesn't work |
|
[2011-03-02] aktar: Crap |
|
[2011-02-21] Sarah: The program read a full page of medical text with surprising accuracy. |
|
[2011-02-17] Cherie: Couldn't even handle a few simple, bold works printed neatly on an otherwise blank paper. I'd either get an error from the server or junk. |
|
[2011-01-19] zsawyer: Nice idea, taking the picture is quite easy. Upload can be slow. Not possible to crop the image. My test image was not correctly scrambled characters |
|
[2010-12-08] Sergey: I have scanned full screen text from magazine. Recognized only 5-10%. And to OCR text it sends image to the server, so it uses data connection. |
|
[2010-12-02] Jonathan: Works OK with printed text, but handwriting recognition is terrible. Or maybe just my handwriting... |
|
[2010-11-17] Onkar: Crap again, are there no free functional ocr for android ! |
|
[2010-11-13] Pete: First time I tried this (an update or two ago) I had no joy. Recently though has worked very well and quickly too. |
|
[2010-11-01] Matt F: Wish I could rate this no stars. Every scan came back with meaningless junk. |
|
[2010-10-22] chuq: App works on droid 2, but the ocr is horrible, it only got 4 words out of about 40. Uninstalled. Improve ocr function, more stars! |
|
[2010-10-10] Martin: Same as Geir. |
|
[2010-10-05] ReactoR: No connection to server... And why must it be sent to a server anyway?? |
|
[2010-10-05] Geir Rune: No connection to server... And why must it be sent to a server anyway?? |
|
[2010-09-25] BruceLee: Did not work for me. N1. Failure to upload image to server for processing and failed to connect for configuration. |
|
[2010-09-17] Ted: No soft key for camera = doesn't work at all on captivate (or other dev without hard keys) update pls! |
|
[2010-09-09] Aaron: Spectacularly bad! OCR'd "The Web is dead." (Wired 9/10 cover) as "j QT. jt. O" |
|
[2010-09-03] Gene: The first completely negative review I have posted. Can't make this work at all, and no support. Thumbs down. |
|
[2010-09-03] gene: The first completely negative review I have posted. Can't make this work at all, and no support. Thumbs down. |
|
[2010-09-02] aurilliance: Pictures were all out of focus, camera display aspect ratio is wrong, couldnt read any text from images. Disappointed :( |
|
[2010-09-01] Toby: Doesn't seem to work on phones without physical buttons. Can bring up camera but there is no way to actually take the picture! |
|
[2010-08-30] Charles: Froze on my Droid X. Uninstalled |
|
[2010-08-29] mitchell: Did not work at all, froze phone, Droid X |
|
[2010-08-24] folktheatre: Not amazing but does the trick. |
|
[2010-08-17] polarbeardog2: Flat out doesn't work. |
|
[2010-08-17] Grant: Optical character recognition is poor, all force closest when you take a picture |
|
[2010-08-16] Chubin: Hotcard Scan-OCR has much better performance! |
|
[2010-08-16] limingsg: Hotcard Scan-OCR has much better performance! |
|
[2010-08-15] Mark: Hi Google. Why is this non-functioning app with a 1.5 rating showing up at the top of a search for "ocr"? |
|
[2010-08-09] skinnyD: Doesn't take pictures or ocr saved pictures uninstalled |
|
[2010-08-09] Haggai: Yes takes the picture frame that doesn't do anything with it just sit idly. Motorola droid |
|
[2010-07-30] LEHSYS.COM: It installed fine but it never ocr'd anything . Uninstalled after 5 minutes . |
|
[2010-07-30] LHenry: It installed fine but it never ocr'd anything . Uninstalled after 5 minutes . |
|
[2010-07-24] Sunoo: Crashes when trying to take photos. Doesn't work. |
|
[2010-07-24] S: Crashes when trying to take photos. Doesn't work. |
|
[2010-07-21] Spencer: Will not process pictures taken within the app or on the phone. Droid Incredible. |
