Text Scanner [OCR]

Text Scanner is one of lightest and most efficient scanner on the Android App Store, with a very high

level of speed and accuracy.

When we scan text from a magazine or a book or even a hoarding, it is very difficult to extract the text for further use. Text scanner allows us to do just that. Just take a picture of the text and the OCR (Optical Character Recognition) engine of Text Scanner will do the rest.

It is extremely easy to use – you can take pictures from newspapers or even from a website from your computer, get telephone nos. converted and dial directly. No need to type any more! The recognized text can be used to copy to clipboard, dial nos., save to a file, send it by email or share it on Social Media.

Extremely useful, fast and accurate!

Past Notifications

We all receive several Notifications on our phones every day. Some are important, some not so important. But in our hurry, sometimes, we delete the important ones. Some important ones run in several lines, and cannot be read. Sometimes, we reboot our phones and lose all our notifications.

Past Notifications solves all that. Just install the app, give it the required permissions and you are good to go. Irrespective of whether you have deleted your notifications or not, Past Notifications holds an easy to read Notification History. You can see all your notifications in either Chronological order or App wise order. If you put an app on the Ignore List, the  Notification will not be stored in History and will be ignored. You can adjust the maximum no. of notifications to upto 2,000!

This is real neat and helps us control our notifications easily and efficiently!
