What’s New Version 2.1.0
In this major update we’re introducing Describe Image. A state-of-the-art vision-language model is bundled in the app, so it can describe the key features of any image and answer your questions about it. Just tap Describe Image (or use an accessibility magic-tap on the live image).
Because the model runs entirely on your device, it works offline—even without an Internet connection. Plus, your images stay private.
Requirements: iPhone 12 Pro (or newer) running iOS 17 or later.
We’d love your feedback: info@vdscan.app
Description
Scan paper documents, labels, signs with the camera and recognize text. Listen using built-in text-to-speech. Save and export. Unlimited use: no subscriptions or additional charges.
State-of-the-art A.I. for OCR and text recognition: Fast and accurate, even in poor lighting conditions. Works entirely on device: No need for internet and your data stays private.
Recognizes text in the following languages: Catalan, Chinese, Croatian, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Finnish, French, German, Hindi, Hungarian, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Spanish, Swedish, and Turkish.
ScanTone, a sound that represents the amount of recognizable text in the camera's field of view in real time. It uses artificial intelligence to analyze the live feed from the camera for text, angle, rotation, and document edges.
Exports scans as plain text or accessible PDF with embedded text.
