## What is Paper Scanner?

Turn printed pages and photos into editable text. Scan, correct, copy and share your notes from one app.

No time to retype a book page, a handout or a recipe? Paper Scanner reads the text for you, so you can paste it anywhere in seconds.

THREE WAYS TO SCAN
• Live: point your camera at printed text and grab it straight from the camera view
• Photo: take a picture of a page, a book or your notes
• Gallery: pick an existing image or screenshot and extract its text

EDIT, COPY AND SHARE
• Fix mistakes and format your text in the built-in editor
• Copy everything to the clipboard with one tap
• Share it to Mail, Messages, Notes or any app you use
• Every scan is saved in one list, ready to reopen and edit

PRIVATE BY DESIGN
• Text recognition runs on your iPhone
• Your notes are stored on your device
• Lock the app with Face ID or Touch ID

Works best with clear, printed text in Latin-alphabet languages such as English, Spanish and Portuguese.
