Scanyra

Read full description

Scanyra turns the paper in front of you into a clean PDF file. Open the app and point the camera at a document. Scanyra finds the edges, straightens the page and clears the shadows, so the result looks like it came from a flatbed scanner rather than a phone. Add more pages if you need them, then save everything as a single PDF or send it straight to mail, chat or cloud storage. There is no sign-up, and nothing is uploaded β€” the scanning, the clean-up and the text recognition all happen on your device. What you can do with it β€’ Scan one page or many, and export them together as a single PDF with no watermark β€’ Pick the mode that matches what you are scanning: ID card, passport, book page, whiteboard, business card, form or receipt β€’ Copy or search the text inside a scan. Text recognition runs offline on the device and is always free β€’ Keep documents in folders and find them later by searching what is written inside them β€’ Put an expiry date on an ID, passport, insurance policy, contract or warranty and get reminded before it runs out. Reminders are scheduled locally on your phone β€’ Lock the app with your fingerprint or face Typical uses: receipts and invoices for bookkeeping, contracts and forms you need to sign and send back, ID documents you want a safe copy of, whiteboards after a meeting, and pages from books or notes. Free and Premium The free version scans, recognises text and exports PDFs with a daily export limit. Premium removes that limit and lets you merge several documents into one PDF. Text recognition stays free either way, and there are no ads in either version. New: Expenses β€’ Scan your receipts and see the total, broken down by category, with tax included β€’ Choose a period β€” this month, last month, this year β€” and export it as a CSV for bookkeeping β€’ Place your signature exactly where you want it on the page, and sign with dots where you need them β€’ Adding a watermark, rotating or compressing? See the result on your own page before you apply it β€’ Save finished files straight to your device, not just share them Scanyra Premium (Monthly/Yearly) is an auto-renewable subscription billed to your Apple ID; it renews automatically unless canceled at least 24 hours before the current period ends. Manage or cancel anytime in your account settings. Terms of Use (EULA): https://erimworks.com/scanyra/terms Privacy Policy: https://erimworks.com/scanyra/privacy
