What it does

Textify recognizes text on any images or PDFs. It produces a PDF with the text integrated above the image, such that it looks like a pure text PDF. You can search the PDF or copy/past in it. Everything happens on device, instant file size preview + filters.

I was pleasantly surprised that in addition to doing OCR easily and accurately, the output is immediate and has no errors. It also gives you the text in both the formatted (ie, still in the bulleted/paragraph form) and the unformatted forms (just the text in one single block). And you can make edits right there in the program easily. And Save the output as either a PDF or .txt file. And for a free app, I was surprised there weren’t more ads- I haven’t seen any yet, but maybe they’ll come? But no matter what, no ads or pop ups got in the way or slowed down the OCR at all. Would recommend! I was pleasantly surprised that in addition to doing OCR easily and accurately, the output is immediate…from apps.apple.com
