The Blindsight Corporation Releases New OCR App

By Michael Hansen, 15 July, 2012

Member of the AppleVis Editorial Team

Those looking for an accessible OCR app for their iDevices may very well be in luck.  Text Detective is a new, fully accessible app that was released to the U.S. iTunes store yesterday.

According to the app's description, Text Detective will allow one to scan printed documents--and edit, email, or copy the resulting text to other apps--all in a completely accessible interface.  While the app is designed mainly for the iPhone 4S, it can run on other iOS devices as well--including iPads.

Currently priced at $1.99, Text Detective is available for download in the iTunes App Store.

More information about the app is available on the AppleVis directory entry at http://www.applevis.com/ios-app-directory/utilities/text-detective.
