Canopy Text Recognition

Hi everyone,
I recently launched a browser-based text recognition called "Instant Text OCR". I tested it on Canopy's document viewer and it accurately recognizes the text and automatically copies it to the clipboard.
The reason I created such solution is because it helps speed up the tax data entry as part of the tax workflow process. It is compatible with both Apple Pencil as well as touch.
If anyone has an iPad and/or Mac based computers, send me your email and I can give you free access as part of the beta program where you can provide feedback and help improve the application.
Hopefully in the future, Canopy takes some the features that I co-developed with OwlOCR and incorporates it natively in the Canopy platform.

Thank you! Thank you! Can I get your feedback on it? What you dislike and like about it? I'm constantly trying to make it good enough for the upcoming tax season. If you have Swift programming skills let me know, you are more than welcome to build on top it.
> that sounds awesome! let me know when you branch out into windows!
I'm actually using it with Windows 10 via Parallels. Unfortunately at this time Microsoft does not have the technologies needed as Apple to replicate Instant Text OCR capabilities.
