The arrival of smartphones on the market, not only meant the end of compact cameras for many millions of users, who could capture their memories with their smartphones, but also was the end of the devices that allow us to scan documents, that no photographs. In the App Store we can find a large number of applications that allow us to scan documents simply with the help of our smartphone's camera. If you have never tried it because you think the results leave a lot to be desired, I recommend that you do so. To start you can use Smart PDF Scanner, an application that has a regular price of 4,99 euros but for a limited time you can download it for free.
Thanks to Smart PDF Scanner we can scan practically any document for later convert it to PDF format and send it by email. The technology of this type of application allows to detect at all times the edges of the document, to eliminate them from the final image, so it offers us very similar results to those that we will be able to find in a desktop scanner.
From the application itself, we can also print documents directly that we have scanned, ideal for when we do not have a printer that allows us to make copies of documents. We can store all the documents that we scan directly in Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive or share them directly with Evernote, Onenote to be able to make use of the character recognition system that they offer us and convert the scanned document into a text document.
Obviously the application does not work miracles so we must facilitate as much as possible the work when carrying out the process, so we must color the document on a surface darker than the document and that if possible there is natural light, since the use of flash can be reflected in the document and not offer us the results we are looking for.
