CBTG2022

I think this is the first time that I've seen the premium access for free. App is free but the premium access is $14.99 per year (on iOS).

Google Play link.

Steps for iOS -

1) Download app and install
2) tap on hamburger icon in the bottom left
3) tap on the information icon (top 2nd)
4) Press and hold "About"
5) Enter CBTG2022 and Ok.
6) You should get a confirmation that code is activated till 14 August 2023.
7) Check the settings and you'll see Premium account is till the same date.

Android steps should be similar - if someone can please comment and I'll add it in later.

Full credit to mydealz for the find.

    I think most of the features these guys offer are already native in IOS. Prove me wrong.

      Yeah but this is free.

      • AustriaBargain on 19/08/2022 - 20:18

        It is free, for anyone using a recent iOS device.

        • askbargain on 19/08/2022 - 20:22

          As a dealbot fan, I don’t have a recent iOS device, so this is a great deal. Hopefully it becomes free again in a year.

    Clicked link. Turns out I downloaded this in 2019 and haven’t touched it since. Let’s see if the next 13 months will be the same.

    Android:
    2 & 3) Tap the 3-dash icon in the top left > select More
    …
    6 & 7) just saying "premium features are activated", no date info

    • JakDac on 20/08/2022 - 00:56

      4-5 ?? Android steps should be similar - if someone can please comment

        Got it Press and hold "About"

        • St Nick on 20/08/2022 - 10:25

          OP, add these instructions to the post!

    • congo on 20/08/2022 - 08:14

      Same for me in iOS.
      Didn't have to enter code.

    Love your work dealbot, but this app is redundant.

  • dragon41176 on 19/08/2022 - 20:54

    Thanks op!

    Doesn't Google Lens do this for free and has native Android integration? It's also available for iOS.

    • huntress_love on 19/08/2022 - 21:52

      never use it, but does it translate text from pictures from different languages? Read the summary in the playstore but not sure hence asking?

      • elektron on 19/08/2022 - 21:57
        +2

        Sure does, has been doing it for years. And can read it for you in the original language.

        • darkmattersunB6c0MV on 21/08/2022 - 05:58
          +1

          Agree. You can also translate anything on screen, grab text etc natively, and activate Google lens without even have to take a photograph.

          I haven't tried it on iOS.

          As a rule, just because it is free does not mean that you should install it.

          It increases the attack surface.

          Another request to iOS users, please update the system, there is a major vulnerability that is being exploited actively (I did mine).
          Enjoy your Sunday.

    Privacy policy is concerning.

    Sad use case, but I've used ABBYY FineReader (PC) for over 2000 pages of bank statements and documents for current divorce and body corporate litigations. Only product that worked well.

    Thanks for this post DealBot! Hope I won't need it any longer than 12 months

    • elektron on 19/08/2022 - 23:24

      What other products have you compared it against?

      • greatlamp on 20/08/2022 - 07:52

        ABBYY came with my scanner. It's OCR is better than Acrobat pro on PC.

        They would be much more successful if they didn't have a name that sounded like a typo.

      • loke on 20/08/2022 - 08:25

        I have to say that ABBY is great for bank statements (or anything containing tables), as you can specify columns / rows etc

        In situations where privacy/data integrity is a concern it'd keep all the functions offline on computer

      • TheLurker on 20/08/2022 - 12:31
        +1

        I tried acrobat pro and a stack of others I'd collected from OzB promos over the years. Tables were the main need and ABBYY PCR does a good job with those so I stuck with it

    • Smigit on 20/08/2022 - 00:33

      I agree that ABBYY's OCR is incredibly good. Not cheap, but I find it gives better results than anything else I've tried on Mac including tesseract, latest PDF Expert, Apples built in OCR toolsets, PDF Pen Pro etc. Haven't used Adobe Acrobat on the same documents as it cost too much so I'd never entertain it on my personal system (although have it on my work one and it works well also). Other tools didn't overlay characters as accurately, missed things etc. ABBYY on the other hand was very reliable.

      For anyone doing lots of document handling on Mac, DevonThink uses ABBYY as its PDF engine for the pro release which makes it a very robust solution for managing PDFs. I use a combination of Devon Thinks ABBYY integration and the free "ocrmypdf" tool which I can trigger from a command line from Hazel (unfortunately fine reader best I can tell has no command line or AppleScript support otherwise I'd consider that + Hazel).

      But yeah, haven't tried the tool in this deal, but the companies other big products a good one.

  • taki on 20/08/2022 - 00:33

    No time limit on Galaxy Note 10+ (might have recognised my very old account too many years back).
    Didn't have Esperanto which is (100x) easier to translate.

    Android
    1) Hamburger menu
    2) More
    3) press & hold "about the application"

    Thank you

  • congo on 20/08/2022 - 08:14

    Hamburger menu, so that is what the 3 dashes are called.

    • TheLurker on 20/08/2022 - 12:32

      Has become a common term for that trend in UI design from what I've read

  • roberte on 20/08/2022 - 08:35

    Not wanting to spread FUD but ABBYY is a Russian company. Still the best OCR software I've found.

  • Eatslikeacat on 20/08/2022 - 13:52

    I guess it's free but dunno what it does better than native apps. Also it tried to trick me into agreeing to marketing and data collection when all I needed to do was select agree to privacy policy.

  • Jared17 on 20/08/2022 - 23:10

    Thanks. Didn't know wat it was before reading the deal. Keen to try it out now

    Worked for android.
