APPS SPECIAL .....Scan and store all your documents digitally with these popular apps


Scan and store all your documents digitally with these popular apps

Though we live in an increasingly digital world, many organisations still print out important documents on paper. Receiving bank statements, retail invoices and important notices in print may seem redundant when you can access most of this information online, although you can’t shy away from the fact that paper still dominates society. Unfortunately, managing so many letters isn’t exactly easy. Most of us end up misplacing important documents.
But technology can save the day in the form of document scanning apps. With these, it’s possible to scan paper-based items such as letters, receipts and contracts using the camera of your mobile device. You can then keep them safe and stored on the cloud for future use. Here are the best document scanning solutions out there right now.
Dropbox Business
With around 500 million users around the world, Dropbox is one of the most popular file sharing and cloud computing tools on the market. It offers a nifty mobile-based feature for scanning documents, which is capable of capturing text, multi-page documents and photos. Dropbox’s scanning capability works across Android and iOS devices, giving you the ability to transfer important documents to save virtually on the cloud in a quick and easy manner.

Abby FineScanner
If you are looking for something more advanced, it’s worth checking out Abby’s FineScanner. The software not only lets you turn scanned documents into PDF and JPEG files, but it also uses optical character recognition to scan texts in 193 languages from around the globe. Compatible with Android and iOS, the app lets you scan both printed and handwritten texts straight from your mobile device. It also works with 12 file formats, including DOCX, PDF and TXT.

Genius Scan is another popular mobile scanning app, with its developers claiming that the software has digitised more than half a billion documents worldwide. Described as ‘a scanner in your pocket’, it lets you turn paper-based documents into JPEG and PDF files. Its key features include smart page detection, perspective correction and image enhancement. And with patch scanning, you can create digital copies of dozens of pages within seconds.

Scanbot
Scanbot is positioned as an easy and fast way to create high-quality scans on iPhone, iPad and Android devices. According to the developers, it is capable of making ‘hundreds of decisions to capture the document perfectly, crop the document, straighten it and apply the filter’. With the software, you can scan documents, receipts, sketchbooks, whiteboards, business cards, labels, QR codes and barcodes.
