(Used to be the) best scanning and OCR app that existed!

Update - 2024: This used to be the best app for scanning and OCR. As of August, 2023, ABBYY discontinued their support and switched off the excellent OCR features that once made it the best OCR app around. It is now very inaccurate and almost useless! I dearly miss the original app that I purchased some years ago.

Original 5 star review - 2019 I’ve been using FineScannerPRO for a few years now and it just keeps getting better! Scanning is simple with the iPad or iPhone and OCR is very accurate. I’ve been using it to recognize text in both English and Spanish, both of which work great. The new page area recognition features make it easier than ever to scan pages with little or no manual adjustments. Recognized documents can be downloaded in several useful file formats including MS Word, RTF, and plain text. I now do all my scanning and OCR on my iPad instead of my dedicated scanner. It is just so much faster and easier. You can also make a “photocopy” of any document just by printing the result of your scan. I would highly recommend this app!
Removed key book scanning functionality

This app used to do a nice job scanning an open book and producing a PDF that split the pages and flattened them. They removed this feature from the latest version. Now it is useless to me.
Garbage Update

Suddenly stopped saving multipage pdf files. Now only saves as individual jpg files. Complete garbage. Do not buy.

The app crashes a lot and shuts down when trying to scan and crop a book. And when the app is reopened all of the scanned pages are gone
Crop Quality went down significantly

Scans: below average. OCR: Excellent

If you’re seeking high-quality scans then look at other options, including free. 50% of scans must be taken manually otherwise the app will never recognize the document borders. 75% of scans require reframing. Filters are the lowest quality.
If your primary need is OCR then this is a solid choice; however, others may have near OCR quality with much higher scan quality.
If given the choice I’d have opted for another app.
