✓ The best scanner i have found for the iPhonEThe best scanner i have found for the iPhone! So easy to use and fast. And, of course very accurate! Love the Reader as well. Thank you Voice Dream team!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Voice Dream equals Phenomenal as AlwaysAs happens every time, I am once again blown away by this developer/s. For three years, Voice Dream Reader has remained the only tts app I continue to use every day. I have been waiting for a good affordable scanner app for the blind, and at last it has arrived. I am more greatful than I can say, and would have paid three times the price for this amazing app. I will be going to college later this year, and I am now feeling more confident about being able to access my future materials. Thanks so much Voice Dream Team!.Version: 1.0.1
✓ This app is pricelessThis app is fantastic! I have used all the scanning apps that have been available including the one that cost $100! This app works much better than all of them! I use it every day for reading everything from my mail to directions on frozen Foods etc. Don’t know what I would do without it! I highly recommend this app! Customer service is excellent..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Voice scanner is the first app I use if I need to solve a blindness related problemI keep trying everything but I still always will use this app first because of its ease of use and its accuracy..Version: 1.4.6
✓ InvaluableI am newly visually impaired and find the Voice Dream scanner/reader invaluable. I recently received my homeowners insurance renewal policy and scanned the pages using batch mode. I was then able to sit down and read through the documents. I did not need help from a sighted person. This app gives me back some of my independence. Also, the customer service is top notch. They will get back to you within a few hours if you ask a question of them. Keep up The great work. Kind regards. Excuse any typos. Sent using Siri dictation and sometimes she just doesn’t get me..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Actually does what it says on the tin!This app costing a mere £5.99 actually outperforms an app I purchased for £100.06 months ago also. It actually read a letter that my hundred pound app because struggling to read properly, to the extent I was in doubt about what the letter was really saying. So impressed with this app that I tried to ring a friend straightaway to tell him how brilliant it was. Do yourself a favour, for a trifling £5.99 he will be more than impressed, really!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Fantastic, just what I want and needNow I can save my eyes and do more readings..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Accurate, simple, and to the pointThe accuracy is the first thing I love about this app. The speed is the second specially with batch mode. But ththe PDF import and OCR has to be the coolest. Love that I can use it with the voices from Voice Dream Reader and that we got the ability to bring scans into the library. This app is picking up stuff that other OCR apps built from the ground app for blind users are not..Version: 1.0.0
✓ I’m impressedI figured this would be a useless feature. But it works great! The only issues I’ve had are when taking a picture of a page in a book, there tends to be a curve and it doesn’t always pick up the text in the right order. But if it’s a flat page or you can make the book pages lie flat, it does an amazing job!.Version: 1.3.5
✓ Scanned a bound bookI love my books, and hate to have to chop these to feed into the Scan Snap scanner. Today I just finished scanning a 303 page book that arrived from overseas. I built a platform to rest my iPad on, and under neath was where I put the book. I built a 90 degree acrylic (two pieces of acrylic glued together) device so I could place it between pages and this would hold the pages flat. I then used black tape to clearly outline the edges. This setup took 65% of the total time (next book will use this same acrylic device). I watched videos while doing the scan After I finished, I outputted to voice dream reader, and it worked perfectly..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Immediately relieved me a frustration by reading the visual and put on my TVThis app saved the day! Basically, I was trying to sign into YouTube on my Amazon fire stick. The built-in software for YouTube does not use voice view from Amazon. So, it read me the code that I have to put into the website without reading any punctuation! I attempted to use another scanning app with no success. I used this voice dream scan program and it got the code I needed correctly thank goodness. Now I can watch my YouTube videos and music without stupid commercials! Thank you everybody peace out and have a father Tabula‘s day!.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Love it!I just downloaded it and ran a couple of tests, and it works amazingly well. It’s especially great when used (as designed) in conjunction with the Boice Dream app. My only suggestions for improvement are 1) Allow it I just downloaded it and ran a couple of tests, and it works amazingly well. It’s especially great when used (as designed) in conjunction with the Boice Dream app. My only suggestions for improvement are 1) Allow it to work on photographs previously on my device; and 2) The optional tone that can be played when an edge is detected could be a lot more quiet and subtle and pleasant and still be equally effective. It would be much more effective, actually, because I wouldn’t feel compelled to turn off that option. Let me suggest two tones: one quick, short (and pleasant) one for when an edge is first detected, and then another for when an edge is no longer detected—and silence the rest of the time..Version: 1.0.0
✓ A must for students who need custom text display formatsI have used Voice Dream Reader most of my Postgrad studies. It is particularly useful in seminars. I ask for PDFs in advance as an adjustment but not everyone sees this as important and I can end up with in class printouts instead. And those couldn’t be read without OCR. This addition to the Voice Dream family is a game changer. It integrates with their reader app and means that I can display text from printed handouts in the fonts and colours I need to read it easily. I can now focus on the class and those tutors who aren’t interested in being inclusive can’t exclude me quite as much. Having agreed adjustments unmet really grates after a while, and other than complain there wasn’t much I could do. Many other OCRs need active internet connections. With this new app which works on the device alone, I’m back in control of my learning. I have been shouting at Disabled Students Allowance needs assessors about Voice Dream for years, but far inferior products were pushed on me instead because they had OCR even if they only worked on desktops and their text display options were rubbish. Now I can shout even louder that this should be offered to all eligible students..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Worth every cent!This app is very accurate and works better than the popular $100 app. My only recommendation would be to allow the app to be able to delete a photo from your photo library after scanning..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Latest update fixes crashThanks for the quick update to fix: ios 17 app no longer works. Crashes instantly.Version: 2.0.3
✓ MrAs a totally blind person, I have found this to be the easiest app to use for scanning documents as it does not seem to be quite as dependent on how well I focus the camera. It seems to be extremely accurate and I would recommend it..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Voice Dream ScannerNice touch to only need a two finger scrub to discard a scan of junk mail and be ready for the next auto scan…I give it a 5 rating, not worried that will go to Winston’s head and he’ll get lazy about improvements…great app for me, as a person who is totally blind? For reading my mail or whatever..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Very good but it does crash sometimes.This is a brilliant app. The scanning and OSR are great. The only problem is that this app does crash and close down sometimes. Any scanning work already done is then lost..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Great OCR app. It’s fast, accurate and easy to useThis is the most accurate and fastest OCR app that I have ever used. Used. Voice-over hints are really well implemented. Using them, I was quickly able to grasp the extended functionality of the play button. I prefer the edge detection tone that changes speed rather than the tone that changes in volume. The tone can be hard to hear when it is quiet. particularly in environments with some background noise..Version: 1.2.0
✓ A surprising wonderful app!This app is useful in more ways than one. To be completely honest, I was a bit skeptical at first. I have poor eyesight and to be able to simply take a picture of any words and have it read back to me is marvelous! If there is one tiny trick I’d add to this application, it’d be to have the ability of “ctrl F” the document and searching up a specific word. It clearly has the artificial technology to figure out all the words! This would make it even easier for those with poor eyesight, disabilities, or even students to aid in their studies when needing to find a specific word section or paragraph! Great app all around!.Version: 1.3.7
✓ Application presque parfaite!Il ne manque qu’UNE option pour que cette application soit parfaite: celle de pouvoir corriger les erreurs d’OCR!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Voice stream scannerAn outstanding app in every way! Congratulations to the developers!.Version: 1.3.4
✓ The most accurate scanner I’ve usedI have invested too much money in the effort to find a reasonably accurate OCR scanner. Don’t make my mistake, just buy this app: accuracy is, compared to the rest, outstanding..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Fast and AccurateThis app works fast and is accurate with its results. All apps of this type will always have limitations, nothing compares to actual vision. If you go in with that in mind, you will realize how wonderful this app is. First, it is a bargain at the price. Secondly, the app works in tandem with an already great app, Voice Dream Reader. Thirdly, it reads words off of images, documents, labels and mail that are inaccessible to me. All of this is done accurately and quickly with the voices that I already love from Voice Dream Reader..Version: 1.0.1
✓ Voice Dream scannerThis is one of the best and fastest apps for scanning documents, and the results are brilliant!.Version: 1.1.0
✓ VoicedreamAbsolutely fantastic apps thank you very much.Version: 1.1.0
✓ Fantastic addition to the suite of Voice Dream appsJust downloaded this new app. As a teacher of the visually impaired I have used a lot of apps for OCR reading. I love the quality and ease of this app. If you use the other Voice Dream apps the settings are the same so learning is seamless and fast (and you get to use your favorite voices as well). Great job guys!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ This accessibility app has helped pave my way back to the world of literature!I downloaded this for $8 and some odd change and it just shuts off with no explanation. Again and again. Through my frustration, I chose to react poorly by assigning it with just a single star, and a disparaging review. After coming back to this a day later, I loaded it onto my iPhone and second iPad. It worked beautifully! Since this time, I’ve discovered that it wasn’t the app that was crashing. I suspect it was the case that partially obscured the flash component of the iPad. One of my comments was that if it sounds too good to be true… It probably isn’t. My perspective has now changed. This is the first time for me when reading that something sounds too good to be true, it is! I sheepishly apologize to the developers of this app. 🥺 This accessibility app has helped pave my way back to the world of literature! Again, please except my humble apology. Thank you! Robert.Version: 1.2.1
✓ A wonderful appThis app is by far the best scanning app I have yet used. It has read documents that have been folded multiple times, and other things that other scanning apps have not even attempted to read. I hope to see many more improvements from this app in the future. I also enjoy the simplicity and how fast the character recognition takes place..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Awesome App! DocumentGreat app! I really like The scanning in the edge detection, better than any other blindness OCR App out there. I like how you can import your Photos into the app. The app is easy to use, you can even use a scanning stand that some companies offer where you can place your book on the table, your phone on top of the scanning stand, and you can scan the book quickly using the auto capture feature. Will definitely be using this once I start college. Wonder how it will read math equations though..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Definitely worth the investment.Thanks to the Voice Dream Scanner, sorting thru mail and other paperwork is a breeze! I just purchased this app and put it thru its paces organizing the desk. I especially appreciate the variety of options for saving scan results for further reference, and found this app much more enhanced with features than other options currently available. If I could add one feature, it would be a button for checking page orientation. Even though the app automatically corrects this, sometimes it is really important to know the physical orientation of the page. Still, definitely worth the investment, and I look forward to using the Voice Dream Scanner for many years to come..Version: 1.3.4
✓ Voice dream scannerI think it’s a very good app seems to work better than the other ones that I have on my phone all right it works just as well as voice stream of Reader and I don’t have the rider but I’ve got the voice dream reader and it works very well. Thank you Leslie Ferrell..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Amazing little appVery impressive OCR..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Best scanning app I've used so far!I absolutely love this app! Are used to scan my mail and many things! It's the best scanning app I have ever used by far! I love how it beeps to let you know when there is text and is louder or quieter depending on how much text is in range of the camera. Love it love it! I would totally recommend it!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Voice dream scannerI have been working with this scanner since it came out several months ago. I find for the price it is the best scanner, bar none, that I have ever used. It is very accurate and fast. It is an excellent scanner for the blind.Version: 1.2.1
✓ What Exciting NewsI have used Voice Dream Reader for years and have hoped for a scanning app. I haven’t used it yet and will update accordingly when I do. In the meantime, I hope support for exporting to Voice Dream Writer will be included. I do not see this in the description, so forgive me if it is there and I missed it. The reason I mention this specifically, is that it is my experience that even the best scanned documents need a little bit of editing. This could also be because I am still figuring out which scanning program I like the best though..Version: 1.0.0
✓ Life changingI’m dyslexic, the fact that I can now scan documents at any time using my phone and then have those documents read out to me is literally life changing, The fact that it also stores the document for me to listen to again later is also invaluable. I also find it really helpful being able to save text to clipboard at any point and then have its contents read to me is sooooo useful. My ability to process information audibly is fine l, my ability to process information by reading is like wading through mud..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Very nice appThe two things I would like to have would be that the app would not talk over the scanned materials at the beginning of the reading and I wish column reading would be possible. Otherwise, I would give the app a TRIPLE. A plus..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Doesn’t work with current PDFsI’m updating the star review because voice dreamer now provides native ocr function. Previous review: I would expect to be able to use the ocr function on a current text document. It doesn’t allow for this. It works on pictures only. Do you know how many inferior scans exist in the world in need of ocr? Anyhow I thought this is a basic function to rescan current PDFs..Version: 1.1.0
✓ The only scanning app you’ll ever need.I enjoy using this app to read mail and print documents independently. The intuitive tone guidance is far better than KNFB or Seeing AI. Even in poor lighting conditions, this app picks up any printed text and stores multiple pages into a single file. VoiceDream beats the competition hands-down. You’ve tried the rest, now try the best..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Andy t.I am a totally blind mechanic and this is the only app I have found to consistently read the papers on the side of the doors on cars and trucks so that I can could obtain the serial number to put in my scanner I have tried several apps before this one and a lot more expensive ones and this is the only one that I have found to read them so so far I'm giving it a five right now if I could give it a 10 right now I would.Version: 1.0.0
✓ ADD helperI have ADD. Sometimes it flares up worse times then others and it is hard to read. I’ll read/reread a sentence a zillion times. The scanner app in conjunction with Voicedream helps me to listen to my books. I just got done scanning 30 pages and am now ready to study for my class. I do recommend scanning and saving a file that is no bigger then 10-14 pages. I hope it helps you as much as me..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Photos a problemI like it but I'm currently trying to read a book that has photos embedded in the text and it always seems to select the photo instead of the text, so I have to manually re-adjust the outlines every page or two. Is there a work-around or option to have it ignore pictures? Thanks.Version: 1.1.0
✓ FantasticI use it all the time. It is second to none..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Absolutely the best scanning app I have ever usedI am blind and this app makes it so easy for me to read my mail, documents, packaging labels, and most any other type of print. Also the accuracy is remarkably good. The sound indication lets me know when to snap the picture and another tap of the red button reads the text aloud. I can handle print material very easily now..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Best scan and read app yetI love the fact that PDFs that are saved from scans show the scanned image and have searchable text making them accessible to screen reader users and sighted people alike. Over all this app yields the most accurate text recognition I have seen. It has a simple user interface, works well in low light. End it doesn’t require a subscription though I’d pay the $5.99 again..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Way better than any other OCR app that I’ve triedI love that this app is truly fantastic! My experience has been that I can truly read things with very high accuracy with this app. I used a number of OCR apps before this app came out. The extent of what I could do with those apps regularly was just to get an idea of what something was. I could usually get them to read just enough accurately to know what it was from the context. There was almost no chance of getting them to read something in detail accurately..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Helpful in hundreds of waysThis is One of a few apps I use daily. Why? I like things that just work simply and reliably. voice Dream Scanner has a simple but powerful interface that makes reading things, all kinds of things, very fast and easy. Today, I have used it to read a piece of mail I received, identify a bottle of lotion I was given as a gift, identify several cans of fruit to find pineapple for a fruit salad, and read several pages from a magazine, an article that was suggested by a friend. I also used it to read the directions on the package of frozen food where the barcode scanner in Seeing AI failed to recognize the product. I own several scanning apps including the very expensive one put out by NFB. This is the scanning app that does the job for me nearly every time with no fuss and no friction. It's funny to me that this app costs a little over five dollars while the NFB app cost $100. This app works, without crashing, and without breaking the bank..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Best scanner!!I have just used this scanner and I think it is the best scanner ever. I was able to read my prescription medication on the first try. I have used other scanners in the past but this is the best!! Keep up the good work..Version: 1.1.0
✓ The best app I have ever purchased yetI had just purchased this Saturday and started using it I can’t believe how well it works in reading documents and other material. I’m glad that you came up with the concept for the app because, what would I do without it. It was well worth the $10! Thank you so much for this app as it makes me feel more independent and not having to rely on other people to read documents..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Voice dream reader useful for the visually impairedI’m severely visually impaired and use voice dream scanner to read books that I can’t get in electronic format I am currently ringing up a jig to make holding the pages at the correct orientation easier so it is very forgiving..Version: 1.3.7
✓ Easy, straight forward. Sometimes choppy.As an auditory learner, and a very slow reader, this app is helping me get my college degree. The only issues I’ve had are choppy reading when a word is split between two lines and occasionally it will read a word from a different line first, but I think the latter might be my photography and complicated page layouts (I’m ready a modern physics book). The voices are computerized, so it takes time to adapt to, but it really helps if you follow along in the text a few times to recognize it’s reading patterns. I really love this app, it’s easy to take pictures and there is a batch setting that allows you to take a series of pictures for the same file. Super fast way to get an audio book..Version: 1.3.5
✓ Expensive bundle but worth the priceI purchased the Voice Dream bundle to assist my students who have reading difficulties. This newer App adds even greater access to books that my students would otherwise would not be able to read on their own. I wish this technology would also scan book illustrations to further enrich my student’s reading experience. Also, there should be a discount for students and educators..Version: 1.0.0
✓ I LOVE THIS APP! But!!Don't get me wrong, I love every thing about this app. Well almost everything! For those of you that have worked with Kurzweil, this app has enormous potential. But it needs a little tweaking. This app works wonderfully well when you scan a word document, but when your scanning documents or books that have charts or text in its own boxes, it does not read each section in order. However, I still love this app & am waiting patiently for the updates..Version: 1.1.0
✓ Simply the bestI have tried other scanning apps and this one is by far the best..Version: 1.2.0
✓ Great app! With the most responsive developer in the App Store!I'm writing this update after iOS 16.0.2 came out and there was a problem with using the Ivona voices with Scanner. Winston isolated and corrected the problem in just a couple of hours and had the updated app in the app store right away. No one else gives that level of service! Voice Dream Scanner is the easiest and most accurate OCR app I have used! It will only get better as multi-column support is added..Version: 1.4.10
✓ A Functional ToolI purchased for my daughter who prefers to ‘read’ everything by ear, and will settle for a computer voice if there isn’t a professional audiobook. She has several college books that don’t have e books. It seems to work well, and I like the ability to change speeds and voices. ADVICE for efficient scanning: make sure the page is flat as can be. Sometimes holding the other (not being scanned )side of the book up so it’s at 90 degrees to the page you want scanned helps with this. I am also a teacher and can see a variety of applications..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Richard GMI agree with others who have said what a great and accurate scan thank you for the time you must have spent creating it. ning app this is..Version: 1.2.1
✓ Wonderful fast app with interface with voice dream reader for PDF reading and scanningI love this app, for which I was a beta tester. It is fast, does well on pages that other apps don’t touch, and does it all on my phone. It’s not complicated. I have a much more expensive app which is going to be deleted from my phone thanks to this one. Great job!.Version: 1.0.0
✓ Love it!I love the app! It allows me to read virtually anything I can find. I’ve been looking for something like this for a very long time and think I found it. I recommend it to anyone who is blind, low vision, and even dyslexic. Again, love it so much!.Version: 1.4.2
✓ 10/10This app is absolutely amazing. The voices sound great, it easy to navigate between chapters, and all around intuitive to use. Love that it’s a one time purchase instead of a subscription. It is really helpful for my ADHD. Thank you..Version: 1.3.7
