Smart Scan Documents

Use your SmartPhone’s camera  to easily share scanned documents.
This is not ideal for Photos:  (for that use “Google Photo Scan”)

These are not conventional photos  but rather, best suited to  manuals, documents, magazines,  receipts, business cards,
postal mail etc. as it renders few colors and high contrast.

It will produce auto scanned auto cropped parallax-corrected lit shareable documents in multi or single page PDFs that can be Emailed, Google Driven, Etc. It auto-scans, for example, multiple pages in sequence. Way easier than a flatbed scanner.

  • Touch the icon to the RIGHT of the new title.
  • This toggles “PDF” or “Image” (IE a Photo).  Choose PDF

  • Touch SEND, you could pick EMAIL or….
  • SHARE which offers you whichever Apps are capable of accepting Uploads… Facebook, AirDrop, etc.
  • If using Message, best to stick to IMAGE not PDF
  • If you have GOOGLE DRIVE installed for example, you can Send There

    More Thoughts:

  • Evernote.Com create a Free account and use that for organising workflows etc up to a size limit then it costs.
  • Use GOOGLE PHOTO SCAN app to grab well rendered images of colour photos. This app is NOT for that purpose and reduces color depth and increases contrast.
    NOT what’s wanted for Photos!
