Zoho Scanner is a document scanner that helps students, freelancers, and small business teams turn paper into searchable PDFs and images, using text recognition and e-signatures. WHO IT'S FOR Built for people who deal with paper they need to keep: students scanning notes and exam papers, small business owners filing receipts and invoices, admin teams capturing business cards and contracts, and anyone who needs a clean copy of an ID or official document. A good fit if you already keep documents in a cloud drive. WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR • Scan ID cards, passports, and official documents to keep a clear copy on hand • Scan receipts, bills, and invoices so expenses get filed as they happen, not at month end • Pull editable text out of printed pages and notes, and translate it into 17 languages • Sign contracts and forms and email them back without printing anything • Scan business cards so contact details are saved instead of lost HOW IT WORKS Scan — Point your iPhone or iPad camera at a page and Zoho Scanner finds the document's edges, so you get a straight, cropped scan instead of a photo of a page. Handles multi-page documents and imports from your photo library. Crop, edit, rotate, reorder pages, filter and annotate, then share as a PDF or an image. Extract text — Text Recognition pulls the words out of a scan so you can edit them, find a document by what's inside it, and share the text as a file. Translate — Turn a scanned document into any of 17 languages, including French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese, then send it as a file or paste it in a message. E-sign — Add your signature, initials, name, and the date to a scan, powered by Zoho Sign, so you don't need a printer and a scanner to return a form. Organize — Use folders, reminders, and tags to keep documents findable. Zoho Scanner suggests tags from a document's content, and Zia Lens sorts scans into documents, receipts, and business cards, then alerts you when new documents appear in your photos. Share and automate — Send scans by email or iMessage, or upload to Zoho WorkDrive, Zoho Expense, Zoho Notebook, Photos, or your own cloud drive. Build a workflow once and its actions run in the order you set, so filing a receipt is one tap instead of five. COMMON QUESTIONS Can I search inside my scans? Yes. Text Recognition reads every scan, so you can find a document by a word inside it. Can I edit the text after scanning? Yes. Extract the text, edit it, and share it as a file by email or message. Can I sign a document and send it back? Yes. Add your signature and date with Zoho Sign, then email it without printing. Can I translate a scanned document? Yes, into 17 languages, and you can send the result as a file or paste it in a message. Can I file receipts automatically? Yes. Build a workflow that sends a scan to Zoho Expense or your cloud drive, then run it in a tap. ONLY ON iPHONE AND iPAD • Sync across Apple devices, back up and restore with iCloud Drive • Lock your documents with Face ID or Touch ID • Scan and share from iMessage; Siri Shortcuts to scan, search, and read docs • Find documents in Spotlight, recent ones in the Today widget, workflows on Apple Watch • Multiple windows on iPad, plus Voice Control, Dynamic Text, and Dark Mode PRIVACY AND TRUST Zoho Scanner is built by Zoho Corporation, certified to ISO/IEC 27001, ISO 27017, and ISO 27018 and SOC 2 Type II compliant.

PREMIUM Some features require a Zoho Scanner Premium subscription. • Premium Monthly — 1.99 USD • Premium Yearly — 19.99 USD (save 50%) Payment is charged to your iTunes account on confirmation.
