While I really appreciate the more modern clean interface compared to other apps like this, it unforunately doesn't seem very good at what it does. Maybe it is for simple straight forward images but I had a lot of bullet points in my pdf file (both with check boxes and numbers and letters) and it strangely didn't know what to do with it and would put things out of order.

previous review in 2018 had an error. just tried the most recent version today and used it on a string of binary. I had a problem until I enlarged the binary as much as I could and filled my phone screen with it, this is how I have to do this lol. 1 mm more made all the difference. I can manually select the text from the app and copy it but the app doesn't recognize the numbers after it converts them, it says there's no text (because it's just numbers?). thank you sir, five stars from one!

Used to be SO good! Useless now. Last update- if you change the original selection block, the column selection cuts off the left most data and will not let you move the box to adjust Newer version I updated 12/4/23 Unusable. I went to files from open a picture. It was grayed out and would not open I went to camera. It defined text columns all over that did not match the data layout. Would not adjust the columns to select data. If I could rate this a zero I would
