## What is SmartScan Pro?

Your iPhone becomes a fully-featured, powerful document scanner with SmartScan. You can quickly and easily scan your multipage documents in high quality PDF or JPEG files on your iPhone or iPad. You can then rename and organize them, and send them anywhere.

SmartScan uses complex and efficient algorithms to accurately detect document edges, correct their perspective, eliminate shadows, and perfectly contrast text, black on white. You can also choose between color and black-and-white photo modes. Our user interface is powerful and easy to use. With this app you can easily adjust the brightness, color, and rotation of your device.

SmartScan offers SuperScan, a scanning mode that captures sharper images, especially in low-light conditions. Acquiring multiple takes of the same scan, SuperScan guarantees the best result.

SmartScan also has an "Email to myself" feature that works with a single tap.

Scanning tips
• Make sure the document is laying flat in a bright location

• When shooting in low light conditions, use flash to illuminate the scene. However, be careful not to produce too much glare from shiny documents or surfaces.
