Graphic Design and Marketing Automotive Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Great for being on the go!" November 8, 2024 5.0 Pros Just love the idea of not having to run to a scanner/printer to get the job done. The ease of having an app on your phone to have it look very identical to an actual scanned copy is great. Cons If I HAD to choose, it would be the excessive ads. But that doesn't bother me as much at all. Review Source TW Tanner W.

Planning Engineer Construction Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Easiest way of preparing scanned documents" August 26, 2023 5.0 CamScanner helps me a lot with my documentation and saves me a lot of time. This app is highly recommended for those who are engaged in document handling, project planning etc. Pros This application provides more reliable documents since It makes the scanned information editable other than preparing scanned documents. The possibility of exporting the scanned document in different formats is another remarkable feature of this app. The premium version of the app allows me to extract texts and data in the scanned doc which makes my documentation very effective in my career. Cons It urged me to go for the paid version of the app since the free version includes much less tools than the paid version. Review Source MT Mariem T.

De plus, certains utilisateurs ont signalé des problèmes de confidentialité en raison des autorisations d'accès demandées par l'application, qui peuvent inclure l'accès aux contacts et aux fichiers stockés sur l'appareil. Pros J'ai été impressionné par la qualité de la numérisation, qui reproduit fidèlement les couleurs et les détails des documents originaux. Il offre également une grande variété de fonctionnalités utiles, telles que la reconnaissance optique de caractères (OCR) qui permet de convertir les documents numérisés en texte éditable. De plus, l'application est disponible sur plusieurs plateformes, ce qui facilite son utilisation sur différents appareils. Je recommande vivement Camscanner à toute personne qui a besoin de numériser des documents régulièrement. Cons Camscanner peut présenter certaines limites dans son utilisation, notamment en ce qui concerne la qualité de numérisation de certains documents. En effet, les images scannées peuvent parfois être floues ou déformées, ce qui peut nuire à la lisibilité des textes.De plus, certaines fonctionnalités avancées de Camscanner ne sont disponibles que dans la version payante, ce qui peut être un inconvénient pour les utilisateurs qui cherchent à maximiser leurs options de numérisation sans frais supplémentaires.

This application has basic features so that anyone can use it whether that is a student or professional. User can collaborate any document or pictures according to the requirement and share the same. There are a lot of options that are provided by this application to share the document or pdf also. Earlier, I was using many of the pdf converters since 2016 but this application is fantastic.

I will love to mention that CamScanner is the best application I have used so far. Pros CamScanner is one of the wonderful application to use.

February 3, 2023 5.0 CamScanner is a useful tool for digitizing their paper documents and making them more accessible and manageable.

AGM Mining & Metals Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Ideal Scanner and Document Organizer" June 6, 2021 5.0 Overall, Camscanner helped me get rid of manual scanners and helped me quickly scan documents, efficient storage and fast retrieval. I found the software quite helpful in creating my document repository. My camera is my scanner, and my handheld devices are my office filing system, and I feel powerful. I don't need a bulky office file management system for my important documents. My office moves with me. I can convert lousy pages into professional-looking documents. I can share my documents with my team quickly. The best part is that it does the job much better than any of the competing products. Pros 1\. It automatically scans your documents and converts the scanned documents with batch processing, where you don't have to do repetitive iterations. 2. The most impactful feature is its ability to apply magic color effects to highlight the document content. 3. Another great feature is the searchability option among tour scanned images. 4. You can group your documents the way you want for easy and quick retrieval. 5. It allows you to import documents and images from other apps and seamlessly convert them into a searchable document repository. 6. You can save your files on the cloud and retrieve them from anywhere. 7. It integrates well with other leading software like Adobe PDF and MS Office (Word, Excel, Powerpoint). 8. You can directly share the documents whenever you want. 9. The interface is user-friendly and intuitive. It lists relevant options to reset, edit, adjust, and crop. 10. You can even straighten slant images and convert difficult-to-read images into readable stuff. Cons 1\. Sometimes, batch processing or auto conversion of documents crops the important portions of your documents, and you need to adjust every page again. Sometimes you don't even know that auto-cropping removed something, so it needs some improvements. 2. If you try to import multiple PDF files, it does not work at all. 3. Sometimes auto highlight feature increases or decreases brightness too much. Sometimes you do not want a dark background, and there is no way to remove it. 4. It may be useful to convert a scanned document directly into an editable word file with OCR. Review Source Loay E.

Review Source VR Verified Reviewer Student Education Management Used the software for: 2+ years ### "Camscanner" April 26, 2023 5.0 CamScanner is a mobile app that lets you use your phone's camera to scan documents and save them as PDFs or JPGs. It's got a lot of features like batch scanning, Optical Character Recognition (OCR), and integration with cloud storage. Me and my friends think it's the best scanner app available and that it saves space by eliminating the need for bulky physical scanners. However, the text recognition feature can be disappointing. Pros I've found CamScanner to be a really useful tool for scanning documents while on the go. It's got some great features that make it really easy to use and the scanned documents come out looking great. One of the best things about it is that it can even convert photos into text. Cons However, there are a few downsides to using CamScanner. For example, there's a watermark on all scans unless you pay for the premium version. And if you use it a lot, you might run into some issues where the app freezes or crashes while scanning documents and you have to restart it. Also it is owned by China which has questionable privacy laws. Review Source Bishal D.

CamScanner has really been a life saver app for me. Pros Scanning with the CamScanner saved me a lot of time and money. It is one of the best utility applications. The quick and easy process to just snap a picture of your documents with its built-in area that automatically detects documents and allows us to adjust the area of the box is such a helpful feature. I also liked how it can be quickly converted into any file format we like. More importantly, another best feature about this app is the file sharing to the pc after we scan the documents. Cons I don't think there is anything about the app I didn't like except for the watermarks as a free user. But I think it is worth it. Review Source LLC Lorena Lorrany C.

January 13, 2023 5.0 I must agree that CamScanner is one of the best apps available to scan using a mobile phone camera. Pros The CamScanner detects the page boundaries correctly in most cases. It also allows selecting the page boundary manually and straightening the scanned page according to the boundary. The scanned files are also processed with AI-based technology to make them appear more real. Cons The free version of the software has too many limitations, and it shows lots of ads. The paid version comes with a monthly premium which is costly and many users can't afford it. Review Source EG Edoardo G.
