ABBYY TextGrabber 6 for iOS Implements Instant Real-Time Recognition – Free For Limited Time

| Posted on |

ABBYY has announced the release of TextGrabber 6.0.0, an important feature update to the company’s productivity app developed for iOS and Android devices. TextGrabber 6.0 now offers Real-Time Recognition capabilities and a completely re-designed interface.

The app lifts text of any color from any background directly on a camera preview screen eliminating the need to take a photo to run the recognition process. The recognition is performed on the device, no Internet connection is needed. The technology works with 61 languages, the biggest number on the market in its category.

The digitized text instantly becomes actionable: it can be copied, edited, shared, translated into 104 languages or read using VoiceOver. All links, phone numbers, email addresses, street addresses and event details become clickable for the user to easily perform the corresponding task: follow, call, email, find on maps or add to the calendar. TextGrabber also works as a QR code reader. All the digitized texts and QR codes are saved in the app’s History section, easily accessible for further use.

“Combined with the modern and intuitive interface, TextGrabber’s new real-time recognition feature provides a unique user experience. Each mobile device becomes a digital transformation asset helping to connect printed text to action in seconds,” comments Ivan Bodyagin, Vice President, Head of Personal Productivity Department. “We hope the app will benefit a lot of people by accelerating their digital journey as well as increasing accessibility of information – one of our core values and priorities”.

TextGrabber is an essential tool for travel, business, and school as it quickly and accurately captures text in a foreign language, which might be difficult to type manually, and translates it into the user’s language of choice. The app also serves the needs of people with low vision who will be able to hear virtually any text from print, computer or TV screen with minimum effort or delay.

The new capabilities were implemented using ABBYY’s proprietary Real-Time Recognition SDK, the new generation of ABBYY intelligent capture technology. RTR SDK allows brands to enhance their customer experience: information from printed documents is digitized within seconds and transferred directly into online forms or apps. As no photos are stored on the device, the technology is suitable for use cases that have to meet high security and compliance standards.

The app complements ABBYY’s comprehensive portfolio of tools that simplify capture, digitization, and extraction of data. The company’s offering ranges from top-of-the-line mobile-based OCR to enterprise-level automated document processing enabled by machine learning and semantics.

Device Requirements:
* iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
* Recognition is performed on the device
* Requires iOS 9.0 or later
* 90.8 MB

For a limited time, TextGrabber 6.0.0 is Free to download from June 22 – 29, 2017. It will then cost $4.99 USD (or equivalent amount in other currencies) and be available worldwide exclusively through the App Store in the Productivity category.
