CTRL-F provides a unique solution for finding specific text within physical documents through image capture and text analysis.

Search for Words in Physical Text

CTRL-F is an innovative application designed to locate specific words or phrases within a physical text. The app requires the user to take a picture of the text, then it promptly analyzes and identifies the desired word. The simplicity of the app's usage makes it a convenient tool for individuals dealing with extensive physical documents.

Language Support

By default, the application supports text analysis in three languages - English, Spanish, and German. However, it offers the flexibility to download additional language packages as per the user's requirement. After installing the desired language pack, it can be selected for subsequent search operations.

Storage and Accessibility

Another significant feature of CTRL-F is its ability to store scanned pages within the app's memory for future reference. This feature eliminates the need to maintain physical copies of documents for later use. It also allows for easy access to previously scanned and analyzed texts.

Lighting Conditions

For optimal performance, it is recommended to capture images under good lighting conditions. Insufficient light may affect the app's ability to accurately detect and analyze words within the text.

Ad-free and Cost-free

CTRL-F is a completely free application without any in-app advertisements. It provides a seamless user experience without any interruptions, making it an ideal tool for anyone who often works with physical documents and seeks a quick and efficient method to locate specific text elements.
