5 ★ Very bad.doesn't recognize the text at all and the translation is funny too
1 ★ Completely wrong ocr .
1 ★ Did not help at all :(
5 ★ Easy n free
1 ★ Totally useless
1 ★ Wast app...
1 ★ ok
1 ★ Pro media designer of 16+ years with brand new Android phone, with low expectations... But it was difficult to even get my image to show up in this app. When it finally did (once) this OCR software did not match any of the 3 kanji characters at all. Literally, this app does not work.
1 ★ Doesn't work
1 ★ Tried it out on several signs and menus here in Tokyo. Didn't correctly read even one character. Most of the time it didn't pick up any characters, not matter how carefully I photographed and cropped the image, and when it did pick up a character or two it incorrectly guessed which one it was. Would give this zero stars if I could. Aweful.
5 ★ My expectations for OCR is always low. For Japanese OCR? There was no lower to go, frankly. I have to say I am *amazed* by this app. It works with my phone camera, translates to text that needs minimal editing... and that can't be understated in importance. Text is shareable by email or text message and can be exported to Google translate. It's a terrific app.
1 ★ Not even remotely close to what it means. Used to help with the odd few words while learning and it's terrible
5 ★ I learnt Nihon for Beginners in 2015. I have also been translating it, since 1998 with a Japanese/English Collins Dictionary. Now, my eyesight has deteriorated, I can't see the text. I thought I would give this a go and it's excellent. There have been some rubbish OCR's, the last 18 year's and cost me a fortune. This is free! Wow!
3 ★ How would one translate from a picture? I cropped it out and its now on the image translator, but I have no idea how to translate it :\
3 ★ ....but most Japanese is vertical.
