Image to Text reads the text in a photo of a page, a whiteboard, a receipt or a handwritten note on your iPhone, so you can copy it, clean it up and export it.

How do I scan a page?

Tap Scan, fill the frame with the page and tap the round button. Drag the corners to crop, or tap the turn arrow to rotate, then tap Read it. To read photos you already have, tap Photos; for images and PDFs in Files, tap Files.

Why are some words underlined?

A faint dotted underline marks a word the phone was unsure of. Tap any word to see the part of the photo it came from, and tap Fix the text to correct it.

What does Clean up do?

It joins the lines of each paragraph that were broken where the page ended a line, rejoins words split with a hyphen, keeps lists as lists, and fixes double spaces. Switch it off to see the text with the page's own line breaks. Clean up is part of Pro.

How do I add pages or change their order?

In a scan, tap Add page and choose Scan, Photos or Files. With more than one page, tap Reorder pages and drag the grip on a page to move it. Export follows the order. Free documents hold 2 pages.

How do I export?

Tap Export and choose Plain text (.txt), PDF or Markdown (.md). The file is named after the first line and the share sheet opens. Export is part of Pro; free users can preview the PDF.

It reads a language wrong.

In Settings, Reading languages, tick the languages you scan in. English is always on, and the phone also spots the language on its own.

How do I restore a purchase?

Settings, Restore purchases. Make sure you are signed in with the Apple Account you bought Image to Text Pro with.
