***** Great for reading text on the fly!


The text can easily be read, edited, copied and pasted into documents, emails or other apps. It even keeps the text in a history for future use.


Text Detective works best with the clean and crisp text you find in documents, and at a distance of about the length of a forearm. You can use it wherever you go - no need for network coverage – it even works on the plane.
