Hi Beth, glad to see you are using the screenshot in our app. It's one of the key scenarios when we design this product.

This is something I wanted to build for a long time myself (main use is for book quotes and phone numbers). With that, I'm happy to pay the price for this app and not having to develop it myself. Thank you.

@jacobgorban Thanks for your support! Please let us know if there are any other features this app may help you? We'd like to add them to our product.

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.

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

What are you using to detect text? Google text detection API?

@mark_beare, we use different OCR methods depending on different scenarios, i.e, languages. Google is currently part of our toolkit.

Very creative and useful! This feature will save a lot of time. Is it only in the App Store?

How does this differ than Evernote? In Evernote you can make phone calls from the captured image.

Hi, @shishir_ranjan. Compare to the note-taking tool, Instashot focus on understanding the image and access them instantly. Phone number just one of the cases. Welcome to try the app and you will find the difference. Thanks.
