I am happy with this app because it helps me in converting my notes written in the hard copy to the digitized form. It's very useful and handy when it comes to digitized documents. I suggest everyone to use this app who wants to have optimized best quality digitized documents.
I love the way this app digitizes the document so quickly. It also gives me the best-optimized quality with a feature of text and graphics auto enhancing. Moreover, it assists me in sharing the scanned document pdf with the friends easily. Besides that, I like the search functionality because I can easily find documents just by entering the keyword.
If I want to convert an image to a text or word file, it requires a premium subscription. Also, I cannot remove watermarks or ads unless I subscribe to the premium service.

Overall I am completely satisfied with what is available and I highly recommend it to all the users as it makes the works pretty simple.
It is very easy to operate the software. Just a click will makes the other work automatically. There are many features which makes the images or the written document much more useful than what it was before. I used the application version of camscanner and it is working really good. I use this software for my presentations as well as report writing. The clarity and ease of features such as pdf conversion, auto detections are really worthy.
The pro version is a bit expensive but can be affordable if the use is in extensive way. More features of documentations can be added to it like grammar corrections, translation and many more.

I have used CamScanner to prepare online documents from physical documents by just using the mobile camera. It automatically trims the background from the image captured and provides us with a high resolution straight image of the required sheet of paper. It also has PDF editing options and Image recognition software to understand the text in the images.
Pros: - Helps scan physical documents and produces a clear and professional scanned document - Helps straighten the document - Now comes with inbuilt software to recognize text and images in the scanned document - Multiple filters to edit the scanned image
There is a watermark in the trial version and so you are forced to buy the premium version for the basic use itself. Also conversion from image to a word document or text also requires the premium version.

overall experience is very good basically I use the app for scanning and converting the document to pdf and jpeg format
this app is very easy to use in daily life. and a good tool for office work and mailing attachments in emails.
a handy tool for scanning and converting the document from one format of file to another is excellent in converting into a pdf file but one problem is that we cannot any file in this app.

From personal experience, I find it very beautiful and I recommend using it
It can take any picture, no matter what it is, whether it is a book paper or a paper pasted on the wall, and convert it to a PDF, or it can convert it as an image format with very high accuracy.
The presence of the watermark and financial subscriptions in the card imaging mode, etc.

I use CamScanner very regularly and am very happy overall with the quality.
You have an option to adjust your scan based on the type of documents, makes editing much easier!
You are only allowed to save a limited number of scan in each folder.

I loved using CamScanner. It allows getting a very good-quality scan file. With its integrated image adjustment tool, you can get the result you want. It is software that I recommend to test
With CamScanner, you no longer need a printer to scan a visual medium. You just need your phone. You get an impressive scanning quality. The app is simple and easy to use. Scanning becomes a breeze with CamScanner. What I like about CamScanner is that you can scan part of the visual medium. The app has a built-in image adjustment tool that allows you to crop, adjust shadows, contrast and distortion, resulting in sharp, clear, and crisp images. It is possible to save the obtained file in PDF or JPEG format
- The application has most of its features, such as OCR, for a feeIts privacy policy, which allows it to collect user data and share them with third-party advertisers- Intrusive and annoying ads

It is great. A free app that will help you to scan the documents in handy. No need to buy scanner.
I would like to appreciate this app. They make it easier for my job as an educator especially right now that we have pandemic. I can scan the my personal documents, worksheets and other papers related to work. There is also option if you want a coloured or blank and white scan , what is totally great we have image to text! Great app
It would be really great if they can lower the price for upgrade and avail some privilege which is unlimited.

I love this app due to its easiness and simplicity in providing softcopy of required documents which has helped me a lot in my work.
Can be used in phone by just downloading this app. It also helps to produce the softcopy of important documents which can then be shared by any software instantly
It would be better to incorporate a facility to scan in such a way that individual words can be copied instantly.

Camscanner is easy to use simply convert the pdf. We can edit the images, text by using the tools provided. The main advantage is automatic image cropping.
In this the most likely feature is automatic image cropping. We can easily convert images into pdf. Editing tools are available for editing.
Quality of the image changes. It having watermark along with the pages.

In general I have had a very good experience with this application. It has gotten me out of a lot of trouble and today I have it as a priority for all scans, even on important documents.
I really like the application itself. No longer having to have a cluttered and constantly breaking scanner is wonderful. Having this function in your hand saves you a lot of time and money
What I like the least is that sometimes it takes time to capture the image correctly or it becomes out of adjustment, having to take the photo again.

Saca mucho de apuros, si tienes una buen celular con una buena camara e internet, aprovecharas al máximo este software, claro lo use en la version gratuita y tiene su limitaciones, me imagino que la pro tiene muchas mas herramientas que te podrá facilitar mas tu dia a dia
Uno que otras publicidad pero se debe a que es gratuito y se entiende, y la seguridad.. ya que no se a donde va dirigido exactamente lo escaneado..

Now I do not need a scanner to scan my documents. This has helped me big time.
The thing I liked most about CamScanner is the ease of use. With my phone I can convert any hard copy file into digital record wherever I am. Integrating this product in the work I do was seamless. The software is a true gem.
The developers should include a feature that boosts lighting and reduces shadows.

Quasi ottima
Mi piace quasi tutto: è un ottimo prodotto soprattutto per smartphone, in mancanza di uno scanner nelle vicinanze
Unica vera pecca la pubblicità nella versione demo che ogni tanto blocca la conversione del file; da migliorare i filtri per i chiaroscuri

Overall, excellent experience and great app to scan documents
Extremely user friendly and quick to scan and send. I liked the tools used to make the scanning through camera process so quick
I didn’t like the CamScanner logo at the bottom showing up on my scans but you must pay to have it removed

This app is easy to install from playstore and easy to use anytime. As long as your phone has a back camera, there's no other special requirement.
I haven't seen anything I dislike about the app and shave been using this app for more than 3 years.

It gives me the ability to "scan" a document on the fly without having to rely on an actual scanner.
The storage space on it is not that much unless one pays for the extra storage, but enough to then move the documents to where I need them.

I’ve used it for years and have no major complaints.
Ease of use would be the primary reason I have this app- I can scan documents in the fly and even during lessons.
Sometimes there are ads and they can pop up randomly while trying to scan quickly

A recommended tool for the students to scan their docs in good quality.
By the time we entered the life of pandemic and covid , CamScanner has been super helpful for the students in the online education system. It was so convenient to use. Could scan the entire document into Pdf file without changing the text quality. Sending files through whatsapp and email is easy through this tool and can be easily installed in your smartphones.
While using the app , the ads start running over the screen making it frustrated for the users to scan.

CamScanner scans any document without losing quality. It is very easy to use and extremely useful for anyone who needs this resource. I have an excellent experience with the application every time I use it.
The most impressive feature in this application is that it can scan any document without losing quality. Very easy to use and extremely useful for anyone who doesn't have a printer with a scanner at home or even if they do, but aren't at home when they need it.
Regarding the other features I didn't use them much so I can't speak about it, but the main scanner feature I have nothing negative to add.
