The Best Scanner Apps for iOS
Every day, we come across many different things that we may need to scan. Whether it's documents, business cards, or even product barcodes and QR codes, they need a scanner. Fortunately, your iPhone can be a great mobile scanner for pretty much anything you may need.
For anyone who dislikes dealing with paper and encounters it left, right, and center.
Scanner Pro allows you to easily scan documents, receipts, tickets, and more using your iOS device’s camera, with automatic border detection and shadow removal at that. It then lets you save or share your scans as multi-page PDF or JPEG files.
Why we love it
Scanner Pro wouldn’t have lasted for as long as it has if it didn’t offer and continually expand on a robust feature set for quick and easy mobile scanning. More than merely scanning documents, the app incorporates automatic border detection, shadow removal, distortion correction, optical character recognition, workflow integration, and other technologies to let you do more with the files you care about.
For those who want to scan, print, and manage documents with their iOS device.
Using only your iPhone or iPad you can instantly scan and print any written, printed or graphic material, including: contracts for your partners or clients; business cards; receipts to track your expenses; paper notes and mindmaps to save the best ideas for future reference; book pages and articles for further reading and analysis; texts that don't offer a digital copy; or any other multipage document for different purposes.
For anyone who wants a fast and efficient card reader.
ScanBizCards is an intuitive app that makes it super easy to scan business cards. When you get a card, just whip out your phone and take a picture of it — the app scans it for all the necessary contact information and will parse it into the appropriate contact detail fields. The OCR engine is powerful and accurate, so you shouldn't have to do much manual input of data. Contacts will be synced with the cloud so your rolodex goes with you everywhere. It's fast and easy to use, making it an indispensable tool for business.
