Now we are in 2017, we have every thing from camera to alarm clock on our phone. But what about the scanner is your smart phone can replace our old scanners?
After using those apps for a long time finally now I can answer this question. Yes.! they can actually, they are better than them in many ways. First of all, you can carry your phones so you can use those apps whenever you needed them which is not possible with previous scanners. Otherway those apps can scan documents quite well. Those apps can also recognize text in scanned document thanks to use of OCR. Sharing an scanned document was never easy before, you can either save scan document to the cloud or email to someone.
Here are the top 5 apps which I choose according to those features.
- Simple interface
- Scan Quality
- Fast processing
- Multiple page scanning and editing
