A large number of OCR apps are available for desktop and mobile. But I could not find any app that provides "connect to web" feature. "Connect to the web" is a feature that allows you to connect your phone to a computer so that you can input from mobile and get output on your computer screen. With GoOCR you can use your phone as a portable OCR scanner for computer.
Google will automatically detect the language of the document. For example, if you upload an image to OCR, Google automatically finds the language of the content of that image. If the image contains text in multiple languages, Google detects all the languages and extract text automatically.
Sometimes Google is not able to detect the correct language nor allow you to select the language for OCR. The OCR Pro makes it possible to choose a specific language if Google is not detecting the accurate language.
Use this Sample image to test the difference before or after choose the language.
