Plain text can be extracted from images (jpeg, png, gif, tiff, bmp, heic) and PDF files. On-device text recognition protects your privacy and operates without internet connection. Text layout is approximated according to the original text locations. Formatting options include indentation preservation and soft wraps removal. Automatic detection of emails, phone numbers, web links and street addresses opens another relevant app with one click. An embedded text editor allows correction of recognized text before exporting it. Supported platforms include iOS, iPadOS, and macOS.

Step 1: Several input methods are provided.
• Selects a photo from Photos app.
• Selects one or more files through Files app on iOS/iPadOS, or Finder-like browser on MacOS.

• Multi-page, multi-file options include header/footer removal and number of blank lines for each page break.
• Whether to save inputs, outputs, or both.
• A filename for saving or exporting text.

Step 3: Recognized text review.
On iOS/iPadOS, two-finger pinches zoom the text font size bigger or smaller. On MacOS, use zoom buttons or trackpad zoom gestures. On iPhones, portrait mode shows smaller fonts than landscape mode.

In data detecting mode, actionable data are automatically highlighted.

• Tapping a street address opens Map app.

In editing mode, text can be modified with the keyboard and standard editing gestures like copy/paste and undo/redo.

Step 4: Distribution of the recognized text.
Tap the standard share button to air drop, iMessage, mail, save on cloud storage, post on social media, print, or copy to any other apps supporting plain text files. On macOS, an export button uses Finder-like browser to save a file anywhere.
