Best way to digitized the documents

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

Makes Scanning so easy

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.

A very useful on the go scanning software

Reviewed 2 years ago

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

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

Cons

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.

From personal experience, I find it very beautiful and I recommend using it

Pros

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.

Cons

The presence of the watermark and financial subscriptions in the card imaging mode, etc.

Easily scan your visual media and get a high resolution file

Reviewed a month ago

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

Pros

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

Cons

- 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

Pros

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.

A super scanner in your hand

Reviewed 2 years ago

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.

Pros

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

Cons

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.

Why I Love Using Camscanner

Reviewed a year ago

Now I do not need a scanner to scan my documents. This has helped me big time.

Pros

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.

Cons

The developers should include a feature that boosts lighting and reduces shadows.

Ease of use

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

It gives me the ability to "scan" a document on the fly without having to rely on an actual scanner.

Cons

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.

Students' Favourite.

A recommended tool for the students to scan their docs in good quality.

Pros

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.

Cons

While using the app , the ads start running over the screen making it frustrated for the users to scan.

A scanner in the palm of your hand!

Reviewed 2 months ago

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.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
