Turn your iPhone into a jet Fast multi-page document scanner with SharpScan! Recognize and Share text in Images on 50+ languages (OCR)*. *For text layer sharing an additional in-app purchase required. ***** My requirement was simple: make a picture of a document look like it was scanned and then email that document. This app did that very easily. There was no learning curve at all and the end product was clean and professional looking. (DrDaveVA) ***** I needed to get good pics of documents and receipts. I tried 8 or 9 of the so-called "top scanner apps" and the were all mediocre at best. I usually have trouble keeping the iPad steady for detailed receipts and this has great stabilization. It also captures really well in lower light. Super easy to send to cloud storage (box, Dropbox and other I think). That part is so much faster and simpler than other apps. (Bookstore_Annie) Perfect companion for busy users, SharpScan automatically produces small, clear, and legible standard PDF documents from any photos at a very high speed. Share documents as a tiny Black & White PDF. Convert them to Color, Grey or Original anytime with no pixel loss.
