PDF to Word ++ for Android

I bought this because it was the only OCR program that (said it) had paragraph detection, i.e. instead of making every line a separate paragraph, as in most OCR programs. Well, not only did it NOT do that, but the output was the worst I’ve seen: uneven line spacing, can’t tell serif from sans-serif fonts, changes font size in the same paragraph (which, again, it does not recognize as such), cannot detect boldface, etc. I’ve been trying out and using OCR programs for over 20 years, and this is not even up to 1999 standards. PDFpen, a PDF-management program that offers OCR as just one of its many functions, does a far better job of it. I’m going back to it; I can’t afford to waste any money on useless programs; from now, I absolutely will not buy anything that does not offer a free trial period.

Purchased this so I could convert a pdf file to a word document, well it actually did that, but in the form of basically pasting a picture of the pdf into a word document. I can do that myself, without spending money, and that’s just not helpful at all. Really?!! Hightly annoyed with the waste of time, effort and loss of money.

Very disappointing. Completely useless. I guess Google does not vet programs for Android in the same manner as it does for ipads.

It doesn’t seem to work with Openoffice. I don’t have Microsoft office. The documents have one word per page with hundreds of pages. I thought it was a wasted and left a bad review. However, I opened it with Pages, and the results are impressive. Not only is the text recognition better than expected, but the formatting is close to the original. These are on scanned documents scanned in by PDFScanner.

Really impressed with this application. Works great and is really useful.
