Latest reviews of Smart OCR - Instant Translation & Search app for iPhone and iPad

Doesnt read handwritten
Got this to translate handwritten postcards from other countries. App does not work on handwriting. Read a few of the printed words only. Havent tried the other aspects of app.
Good, but missing a feature I need
My main use for this app is translating English text to Traditional Chinese. Unfortunately, it doesnt have the ability to speak the resulting Chinese, or if it does, I havent figured out how to do it. No luck reaching the developer for help.
Not bad
It was a pretty good app before the iOS 7 update but after wards the sentence convert force closes the app
Crashes in sentence mode
Seems like a good concept but falls far short. I can only get it to read one word at a time, and it reaches out to Google for each, slowing it down. When I take a picture to try sentence mode, the app quits as soon as I touch "sentence." Using an iPhone 5 with iOS 7. Not worth the price, and I see it hasnt been updated since 2012. Hope the author hasnt abandoned it.
Crashes in sentence mode
Definitely not worth the money. My purpose was to understand my childs Japanese homework and parent newsletters. The word by word with no option to highlight section is a bit frustrating.
