Testimonials
Trusted by thousands of users
From students to enterprise teams — here's what they say.
“I used to spend 20 minutes cleaning up OCR output from my textbooks. TextLens does it in 5 seconds. The AI cleanup is genuinely impressive — it even fixes the hyphenation across line breaks.”
Alex M.
Computer Science Student
“The REST API is clean and well-documented. We integrated TextLens into our document pipeline in an afternoon. The webhook support makes it completely headless — fire and forget.”
Riya P.
Startup Developer
“Invoice scanning alone is worth the Pro subscription. I process 80+ invoices a month and it extracts all the line items into Excel perfectly. This replaced two tools I was paying for.”
Sarah K.
Operations Manager
“My team of 4 shares a workspace and we all push delivery notes to Google Sheets via the Zapier integration. It just works. Customer support helped us set it up in 10 minutes.”
Carlos T.
Logistics Company Owner
“The multilingual accuracy on Turkish and Arabic academic papers is the best I have found. And the folder organization for projects is something no other OCR tool offers.”
Dr. Mehmet Y.
Research Scientist
“The side-by-side split view is a brilliant UX touch. I can see exactly where a low-confidence word is in the original image and fix it instantly. No other tool does this.”
