I2S OCR - Image to Speech

Evaluated by Jutta Miroiu-Dunker

I2S OCR convinced with auto-detection of languages and its ability to automatically read aloud. After capturing the image with your camera, the recognized text can be PDFed, shared and even translated.

  • Auto-detect Language option
  • Auto-read option
  • Can automatically download missing language packs for speech output
  • Vey limited recognition attempts in free version
  • Bit cumbersome until you get to text & speech output

Envision AI

Evaluated by Jutta Miroiu-Dunker

Envision AI is just the best app I could find until now. Reads my documents, even handwritten notes, in various languages. I love this app. 

Envision AI is also available for Apple and can be downloaded from the App Store. The Apple version is even more advanced.

  • Automatic multi-lingual text recognition & speech output
  • (for Latin letters based languages and using your installed TTS engine)
  • Instant text recognition via camera
  • Recognition of even odd font styles
  • Handwriting recognition with pretty good results
  • Document recognition (via capture photo)
  • Share, Copy & Save of recognized text in Document mode
  • Face recognition
  • Online and Offline recognition options
  • Recognition of text on digital displays (TV, monitor, etc.
  • Scene recognition leaves space for improvments
  • Some annoying sound while processing
