## What is Glazr Scanner?

Glazr Scanner turns paper into a clean PDF and gives you its text. Point the camera at a page: the edges are found, the page is straightened and cleaned up. Then copy the text, edit it or share it.

SCAN
• The phone's document scanner: automatic edges, perspective correction and clean-up
• Many pages in one document; retake, crop, rotate or reorder them before saving
• Import photos (with cropping), image files or PDFs, or open them from other apps

GET THE TEXT (OCR)
• Text recognition runs on your phone, without internet
• Arabic, English, French and German
• Arabic pages: the app notices Arabic and switches to its Arabic reader. You can also turn on "Pages contain Arabic"
• Copy the text, edit it, or save it as a .txt file

SHARE
• PDF with the text hidden under each scanned page, so English, French and German text can be searched and copied in other apps
• JPG images of the pages
• A text file

PRIVATE
• No account and no upload: scans, images and text stay on your device

NEED TO EDIT?
To add notes, highlights or signatures, or to merge and edit pages, tap "Edit in Glazr PDF".

Free with ads. Ads appear only in the document list, never while you scan or read.

Formerly PdfBlend: your PdfBlend documents are still in the app, with your notes and drawings kept.
