CamScanner Review
Easily turn your smartphone, tablet or laptop into a powerful portable scanner that instantly scans, saves and shares any documents in JPG, PDF, Word and TXT formats. CamScanner is a handy application for any office worker who wants to avoid the hassle of running to a Xerox machine every time they need to digitise a paper document.
With a simple tap, you can place the document in the app's camera view and get the output you need. The app's handy adjustment tools make it easy to create comprehensible outputs that are easy to read, and its cloud storage service lets you quickly upload your files whenever you need them.
Aside from converting printed physical documents into digital files, CamScanner also offers a wide range of features to tweak your scanned images and text. It lets you crop, resize and sharpen blurry pictures, as well as tweak the color settings of your PDF files. You can even share scanned documents via email and social media.
CamScanner is available for Android and iOS devices. However, it was temporarily removed from the Google Play Store after reports of malware in the app.
There are a number of CamScanner alternatives that can be downloaded for free, including Pocket Scanner, Microsoft Lens, and Open Note Scanner. You can filter them by the type of function you're looking for, or by name to find the one that suits your needs best.
The main reason for its removal from the Play Store was that the developer didn't keep their users safe. But the good news is that the developers have now fixed this and returned it to the Play Store.
