QuickScan:Document PDF Scanner

Read full description

【QuickScan】turns the camera in your pocket into a document workspace: capture paper into clear digital files, then find, edit and send them without switching apps. Eight Scan Modes Documents, books, ID cards, business cards, QR codes, exam papers, tables and on-camera translation each come with their own framing guide, so every capture starts out square and readable. Scan and Translate Point the camera at text in another language and read it in yours. Choose the target language, pull an image in from your photo library, or switch on the torch when the light is poor. PDF Toolkit Split, merge, compress, reorder and password-protect PDFs, turn pages into images, and add annotations, watermarks or a handwritten signature before you send anything out. Format Conversion Move a document between Word, Excel, PDF and image formats, pull selectable text out of a scan, or translate an entire file in one pass. Files That Stay Organized Sort scans into categories and folders, search by name, rename or move what you need, and bring back anything deleted in the last seven days from the Recycle Bin. Scan it once, keep it organized, send it from anywhere — download 【QScan】 and see how much paperwork it clears off your desk.
