For partituras

I use it for scanning classical guitar music, and it works great. Notes are clear top to bottom, with everything easy to read. The only thing is, it takes a bit of time to process each scan, so this is going to take a lot longer in lieu of a traditional scanner... hehe

Great simple document scanner

High quality, simple, straightforward interface. Best of all you can save directly to your files without the intermediate step of saving to a cloud service first (such as Adobe scanner).

I just wish you could set a default for “auto shutter” or manual... it defaults to auto with each new scan, and it always seems to capture before I am ready (and hands steady). Would upgrade to 5 stars with this feature.

Overall great app! Highly recommended.

A_Happy_Bunny

Have been unsuccessfully trying, over three afternoons, to scan print-outs of two tables containing names and addresses for OCR, using a printer/scanner software.

Discovered your gem for my phone and it did the job in seconds, in the first two scans of use; pulling out all the text from within line boundaries of printed tables.

By performing successive scans on each table, the extracted text was inserted into one TXT document (saving some on expected effort to cut & paste to amalgamate the text) much to my surprise.

The OCR text file was also readily transferred to a PC via the FE File Explorer app on my phone, recognised by QuickScan, which is another plus point for it’s flexible export features. And with no insistence to transfer results to money grabbing “clouds” this also keeps me happy.

(Will look out for more from this talented author; possibly for capabilities of handwriting and sketch conversion?)

Good job!

Excellent app; great for research and a whole lot more

A simple, straightforward and concise app that helps research, as well as for forms, large amounts of paper / physical data that may or may not be able to be held for a long time by the user (e.g. books on reserve hold; unable to borrow etc).

Amazing technology! So easy to use

My son just had me download this app. I am totally computer, technology illiterate. This app was so easy to use. With this Covid 19 pandemic, it’s taking forever for us to get our lottery application approved at my work. The representative for our area won’t be allowed to come in to the stores till the end of the month. I asked my son if he could help me scan all 10 pages of the application, so I can email the application to the representative. He sent me this app & I downloaded it. It’s that simple. It’s self explanatory. Love it! Can’t wait to show my boss tomorrow when I get to work.

best scanner app I ever came across

I’m not a person usually wrote review or comment on something. To thanks 🙏 and show support to the developer of this app especially, I would like to give short review of this app. I’ve been tried so many scanner app on the market, but I find this app is the best compare the rest I’ve been try before. The scanner feature is excellent, it can capture the edges of the paper precisely even our hands shaking hold the phone. It have the OCR function afterward if you like it to be read. You can save it as pdf, as text or jpg format. It simple and do what the app function perfectly, and the developer made this app totally free. It outstanding... I wish the developer can create more useful apps in the future. Thank you to the developer sincerely.

Simple. Effective. No Nonsense

I'm a college student and often have to submit assignments via pdf form. Thus, a reliable, easy to use, and affordable pdf scanner is essential. All the popular scanner apps all require subscription fees. As if a one time purchase wasn't enough for their greed.

After wasting money on other apps, I am so glad that I found this one! There are no ads, no in app purchases, and no nonsense. If anyone is reading this, please consider tipping the developer!

Amazing

I found this app on a forum and thought I’d try it out
My goodness was I surprised, it’s easy, it’s fast, there’s NO ADS(what???) and it integrates so well with airdrop which is a huge bonus, for work, I just scan then airdrop everything to my Mac for future use
I love it

Quick and effective

I love how quick and easy this app is! So many other “scanner” apps have become bloated and take forever to get to the camera. This app loads up instantly and even the OCR process is fast. Plus, it all happens offline. My only “wish list” item would be the ability to create some favorite destinations for saving (I frequently save to a file share on my home network, which takes several taps to navigate to). Kudos to the developer for being honest and making a great app.

Response from developer

Thank you for this awesome review. The favorite destination is a feature on my planning! Stay tuned for updates :). Cheers

Perfect for working from home

A lot of document to pdf apps are either costly, or end up trying to upload your document to a cloud so you can share it....?

This app is perfect for scanning in documents and sharing, fixes one of the pitfalls of working from home if you don’t have a scanner.
