QuickScan is a simple free* iOS scanner that, if you believe the app blurb, at one time said it was made to help people who couldn’t afford subscription costs or something like that. It’s very simple and configurable, it can do OCR. It made it to my Home Screen quite quickly and I have access to all the Adobe and Microsoft options but they’re all far too complicated for quick scanning receipts when you’re running around.
*Note: Quickscan will mildly nudge you to make a donation to the coder the more you use it
I’m not involved with the app in any way, just a happy user.
Ah sorry, I have been using PDF Expert on iOS for many years for scanning. Your question made me realize something I forgot: I also bought Scanner Pro in the past. Because I installed Scanner Pro AND PDF Expert on my iPhone, PDF Expert is offering the scanning-functionality from Scanner Pro in PDF Expert:
I think installing Scanner Pro only will be enough, but I find PDF Expert (and Scanner Pro) really fantastic. So, first check Scanner Pro: perhaps you will find that sufficient.
interesting accounts of workflow described above.
On the basis of these accounts, I have just scanned in pages from my jotter which sits on my desk for jottings in pencil. Saved for posterity by scanning the pages.
I have ScannerPro (Readdle - proudly made in Ukraine) and have used this over many years. Testing it against the built in scanner on ios on my iphone, there is no doubt that Readdle have got it right in their algorithms.
If I use the built in scanner software on the iphone, then scanning one page of a double page layout will include part of the right hand page (for example) and the exposure is not consistent when scanning multiple pages (some scans are dark)
Scanner Pro does not do this - it identifies the page margins correctly, and exposure is consistent.
I will stick with my workflow of scanner pro starting automatically in camera mode, autoscanning pages, saving the file and sharing to DTTG
It would of course be nice if Scanner Pro could automate saving to DTTG and not just dropbox
When using Scanner Pro in PDF Expert, you can directly save the scan in your iCloud-folder, making it available both on iOs as on your desktop Mac. After saving it in iCloud, you can move the file to the inbox of DT3 and than sync with DTTG.
