Transform Your iPhone Into A Portable Scanner With Readdle's Scanner Pro
October 12, 2009
Scanner Pro is perfect for those situations where you need to copy a document but don't have access to a regular scanner. The app utilizes special algorithms to enhance image quality to make your captured files as legible as possible. It features the ability to scan multi-page documents and turn them into industry standard PDF files. Scanner Pro has a built-in PDF viewer as well, so you can preview all of your scans to ensure it was done properly. You can also password protect your PDF files if you so choose.
The act of simply scanning files does you no good without the ability to share them, and Scanner Pro has you covered there too. The app allows you to share scanned files via email, upload them to MobileMe, Box.net, Humyo, or any other WebDAV compatible online storage solution, and it even allows you to transfer them to your computer by mounting as a shared network drive over a Wi-Fi network. No additional software is required, so all of this can be done from the app itself.
Scanner Pro is now available in the App Store for $6.99. That's is quite a bit higher than JotNot's current sale price of $2.99, but you have to take into consideration what you need out of your scanning app. It's already apparent that iPhone users have been enjoying their time with Scanner Pro as it has now firmly placed at number five in iTunes' top paid business apps category, one spot ahead of JotNot.
