About

Snapculator

Features
Read full description

• Photograph a page and the figures it reads are calculated for you (photos from your library work too) • Every figure it reads is underlined on the photo. The color of the underline shows at a glance which figures were counted, which were left out (dates, addresses, document numbers), and which are worth a second look. • On a table, it recognizes the columns — unit price Ɨ qty = amount and the like — and warns you when what it calculates doesn't match what's printed. • If it read the wrong part of the page, you can point out the area you want read. • When something couldn't be read at all, you can add the figure yourself while looking at the photo. • A plain calculator is built in, so this one app covers it when you just want to work something out on the spot. • To work a scanned total against another number, a calculator opens across the bottom half of the screen, so you can keep calculating with the photo still in view.
