@librarianlister Hi Heather, the app could recognize handwriting, but not as good as the printed. We'd like to hear any specific scenario you need the handwriting recognition, we will improve that part if it's a common need.

@vincent_zhang I really just want to scan my handwritten recipes into a digital (and searchable) format

Really cool product. Effortless UX, simple and clean UI. Doesn't recognise handwriting, although I'm assuming it wasn't the most important feature of the product.

Seems fascinating. From what I could make out from the explainer video on your website, I hold the book with one hand and the iPhone with another. From where, then, do I get a spare finger with which to tap a passage in the book?
Hey PHers, allow me to introduce our product - Instashot, an iOS tool to help you access text from any image instantly.
We love to snap a photo or screenshot to capture information more than ever. However it’s still quite a hassle when you want to reuse the information within. Instashot is built to make it easier to do this.
Instashot could recognize the 99% text from the photo in 5 different languages, eg, English, French, Mandarin, Spanish and German. Secondly, Instashot understands the information within the text, such as phone number, address, date, and hyperlink. So it may help you in the following cases:
* Make a call from a photo of the name card.
* Navigate to the destination from a screenshot you friend send to you.
* Copy and share a quote from the book.
* Search the lyrics from a screenshot of Spotify.
We are excited to share with you v1.0 of the app. Meanwhile, the team is looking forward to any feedback.

Great app for limited purposes, wish the OCR engine worked better, but in general its useful for storing things like SN or ISBN numbers
Pros:Converts text in pictures most of the time to text
Cons:Doesn't work all the time, interface is kinda weird
