CamScanner - Phone PDF Creator Review
CamScanner perfectly suits for managing documents for individuals, small business, state institutions, and schools. It is a good idea to synchronize, share and operate a set of files on your smartphone. CamScanner app is the most popular program for scanning documents on any Android device.
Interface
CamScanner provides a convenient interface with pleasant registration. Simple and intuitively clear navigation seems very functional without a necessity to understand how the application works. The arrangement of the main buttons is logical. The design is made in the best traditions of Android and the CamScanner brand, so it's quite minimalistic. 9/10.
Features
The only thing users need to do is to take a picture of a necessary document with a special tool included in CamScanner - PDF Creator. The picture has to be taken in good lighting and settle down in the center of a mobile device. After some operations, we receive a PDF document which goes to the memory of the device. To make the file look better, we can use various filters. For some images, filters can significantly change the final result.
The main feature of CamScanner is recognition of the text. After taking the photo, we press a special OCR button. App activates a special function of searching the text. After this process, the text appears in a separate window where it is possible to edit. It is worth noting that the function of recognition of the text is carried out in English and other languages. 9/10.
