FineScanner app review

FineScanner

Price: $2.99(as of 2/25/13, marked down to $0.99)

FineScanner by ABBYY lets you scan images and text right from your mobile device.

FineScanner lets you quickly and easily take photos of text or images, or even hand-written documents and transfer them to an electronic format. You can create multi-page documents in seconds and transfer them over email, SMS, or use AirPrint.

Being able to capture entire reports, images, or documents and have them ready and waiting for use on your mobile device is a fantastic feature. FineScanner allows you to archive anything you have captured so that you can quickly refer back to it later. This means you don’t have to worry about having the original on hand as you can easily print another copy from the archived scan.

Using the built in camera on the iPhone or iPad FineScanner is able to capture whole document pages in a single snap. The images are saved in either a PDF or JPEG format. Please note that this app does require a newer device to be able to capture the documents accurately.

FineScanner was updated to Version 1.7 on February 4, 2013 and included minor improvements. There are currently 34 ratings for this app with an average score of four out of five stars.

I found this app to be amazingly useful. A quick snap of the camera and I had everything stored on my phone. Being compatible with AirPrint makes re-printing documents later simple and efficient.

For: iPad 4, iPhone 5, iPhone 4S, and iPhone 4 with iOS 5.0 or later
