In daily work and life, we occasionally want to pick out some words/paragraphs seen in books, magazines, documents and other visible media mediums and save them on computer or mobile phone for subsequent editing, collection, tidying, sharing and other purposes. At this point, we can use ABBYY TextGrabber to easily, quickly and accurately capture, extract and save almost any form of text content from an image.

ABBYY TextGrabber is a very practical application for mobile platforms to quickly and accurately scan, recognize and translate any printed text by taking photos, developed by ABBYY from Russia, the world’s leading OCR software company. It can be seen as a mobile version of the very powerful and popular ABBYY FineReader. BTW, ABBYY also released a special document scanning application – ABBYY FineScanner (we will share it later).

Because ABBYY TextGrabber is a mobile app, there are more scenarios for using it than the traditional OCR software on PC. For example, people who like to read paper books can scan the valuable sentence/paragraph on a book, identify it as digital text and save it at any time; office workers can easily copy the contents of paper documents to Word documents on their computers for editing even if they are on business trips; people traveling abroad can use it to recognize and translate completely unknown foreign languages; when you use a foreign app or visit a foreign website on your mobile phone and encounter foreign text that you cannot understand and cannot copy, you can directly take screenshots and use ABBYY TextGrabber to identify and translate it.

As an edge tool to extract text from images, ABBYY TextGrabber’s first step is to convert photos with text into digital, editable text, which can then be translated online or offline in real time. Compared to most similar applications like OfficeLens, Scannable, TextExtractor, CamScanner, ABBYY TextGrabber’s advantages are its combination of image OCR and text translation functions, its ability to recognize text without even having to connect to the Internet (i.e.: offline use), its high recognition rate (far better than other apps), its ability to recognize and translate text in more than 100 languages in real time, and more.

In a word, the applications of ABBYY TextGrabber are very extensive and of practical significance. It can save us a lot of time and energy to transcribe or translate foreign text, so it is very useful and necessary for users who often contact with foreign languages.

• Recognition results are available as unformatted text (TXT). If you want to scan books or large multi-page documents with preserving formatting (for example, DOC, XLS), please try ABBYY FineScanner.
• Translation is performed by a third-party service, so we do not have full control over the result.
• To make the text recognition more accurate, you need to make sure that the text (paper) surface is flat (not bent), the light is even, the angle is vertical, and avoid blurring caused by hand shaking. Also, remember to cut out all other elements that don’t relate to the text.
