Text Fairy by Renard Wellnitz
Text Fairy is the only app with a selection feature. On scanning an image, Text Fairy detects each and every paragraph/break in the image and lets you choose which texts need to be extracted. Also, text fairy supports two-column pages which none of the apps on the list do. Although Text Fairy is a little slow in extracting texts from images if the lighting of the image is sufficient then the performance of the app shoots up to the maximum.
