I don't know if this is related to pleco or android but when i tap the share icon in OCR my word processor, polaris office, is not on the list.
That's odd... is it supported by other share commands? Can you give me some examples of apps that it works well with?
Seems i never tried it with anything else because it looks like it doesn't show up anywhere. i guess its their problem not plecos.

and on they same topic is there a way to move the position of pleco on the share list for other apps? i often have to translate a text message or email i get. it works fine but when i tap the share icon in the messaging app only some apps are shown and i must tap "more..." too see the bigger list. since pleco is the place i sent text most often is there a way to get it to show up in the sort list?
Not quite sure about that, actually, I think to some extent it's manufacturer- and OS-version-dependent... is there any logic to the order the apps appear in now? (alphabetical order, say)
doesn't seems to be. the default is 4 apps in this order:
Messages
Mail
Drop box
AK Notepad
the first two came with the phone the other two i installed. tapping more brings up 12 more aps and those 12 are listed alphabetically, so i need to scroll down a bit to find pleco.

personally i would like to see a basic edit ability in the reader, mainly because some times if i send a whole paragraph to the reader i later notice that one or two characters were recognized wrong and i then need to send it over to polairs to fix. If i could send straight there from the OCR it would help, but then i cant tap on characters to see there meaning ect. also Polaris and many other WP's i have tried don't allow saving a new file as a .txt. i can open them and edit and save, but if i start from a new file i can only save as .doc, so pleco reader would be unable to open it. is there any chance pleco will support .doc or maybe even .rtf in the future?
We keep getting requests for it, so I suppose it's something to consider for a future release, but in general we don't really feel like we have enough to add to that to justify developing an editor function as opposed to simply letting people save files text and edit them with some other dedicated word processor app. You can correct single OCR characters from within the OCR screen by tap-holding on them, though.
I have tried correcting single characters in OCR before but it almost never get the characters i need in the list. For example the other day the character 手 was miss scanned as 毛 tapping gave me long list wich included 邑 无 E and some other more complicated characters but not the proper character for shou, 手.
this what just scaning one sentance so i spoted it right away. but ofter with a whole paragraph i don't see it until its already in the reader

.rtf might be possible if there's a ton of demand for it, .doc would be so tricky that it's not really something we're likely to consider.
RTF would be nice if it would allow for more choice in the formating. it would be nice if we could then specify different text sizes for different documents and used bold and italics ect.
