Camscanner

Reviewed 2 years ago

Perfect application to scan documents since it have different features that help us to brighten the things.

Pros

It helped me a lot to generate the soft copy of different documents at the easiest manner. It is really simple to handle and can be downloaded in different sizes.

Cons

It would be better if colour copies can be generated using cam scanner and would be better to copy words as clipboard.

CamScanner is great application that can be used on your pc or mobile phone. I like the OCR quality even if the image is low resolution. Also, it is free with many great features it is also easy to use just let it capture what you want.

Cons

CamScanner does not support many languages and cannot handle some complicated written languages like Arabic language.

Deskjet Replacement

Reviewed 2 years ago

CamScanner reduces and eliminates the hassle of paper trails and I can definitely appreciate that! It is very easy to navigate through and very self explanatory.

Pros

I have just about replaced the slumpy old fax, copier, and scanner in one with camscanner. I love the functionality.

Cons

Camscanner is a little on the pricey side for personal use so, it is best utilized by a high volume business.

Such a good discovery

Reviewed a year ago
Pros

Free scanning software! If you don't have a scanner at home, office, etc this is a great solution. Can scan so easy and has the feature to convert it to a pdf or jpg.

Cons

You have to pay to get even more features like turn it into a word document which would be great and even take the watermark. The quality is a little bit bad but considering is free is understandable.

Lo scanner in tasca

Reviewed 4 months ago

Una delle app che trovo fondamentali per il mio lavoro

Pros

Sono lontani i tempi in cui facevo i report dal cliente e li scansionavo la sera di ritorno in ufficio perdendo tempo, con Camscanner ho sempre lo scanner in tasca e invio direttamente la mail all amministrazione

Cons

Con la versione gratuita avevo problematiche, con quella a pagamento mi trovo a meraviglia!

CamScanner

Reviewed 2 years ago

This was the one app I used constantly up until Adobe Reader because it was easy to use and made things easy for me. However I never liked their imprint on the bottom of the image and it turned me off so much that I barely use it nowadays.

Pros

I really enjoyed using CamScanner for about three years up until I was introduced to Adobe Acrobat Reader DC and I have made the move to that software recently.

Cons

I don't like that the company has to leave their imprint on the bottom of the picture to show that the image was taken by CamScanner. That is the main reason I switched to Adobe Reader and I am not going back to CamScanner

The way to go in a paperless world.

Reviewed 9 months ago

I use CamScanner to keep my signed certificates securely on the cloud.

Pros

I like CamScanner because it delivers its promise. It captures images of printed documents and fine-tunes them to look like the original. it can bring a skewed image into a good and straight shape and allow for light adjustments to perfect the final scanned copy. It has a powerful OCR engine to convert the text on the scanned document into editable form.

Cons

The OCR loses accuracy if there is no internet connection.

Best Document scanner tool

Reviewed 2 years ago

So my overall experience with is pretty good as I have been using it since my college up to now scanning my notes and documents and it's pretty convenient and easy to use. I recommended it to my family members and my friends too.

Pros

When I am in need of scanned documents, CamScanner comes to my mind. It's a handy tool to scan my essential documents to be exported in PDF or image format with various options of filters available to be applied to them. I use it to scan my documents, my classroom notes and export them to PDF format to share with my friends or for backup to my online storage.

Cons

The only document scanner I have used so far is CamScanner. The only thing I don't like is the camscanner watermark in the free version of the app.

Handy Tool for Online Applications

Reviewed 2 years ago

As being a student and office personnel, I tend to be in a situation where I have to upload my personal or official documents in online web apps or so. This is where CamScanner saves my day. I can just click a photo or photos for multiple pages and send them directly to emails or save them to my drive.

Pros

I like the filter that we can use to adjust the color and contrast of the document that we are scanning. Also, the import to gallery and pdf conversion is some of the best features.

Cons

Everything that I need is there to scan my docs.. but I would be happy if the watermark remover is in the free version.

Love CamScanner

Reviewed 2 years ago

Overall, I like the CamScanner for the ease of use. I use it frequently for scanning documents. I can send it to anyone’s email and it reaches them within seconds. I also like that there are several editing features to make documents look professional.

Pros

CamScanner is very important for scanning documents. It saves all documents in a central place or could be saved in the device too. It is easy to scan and send via email.

Cons

Some times, the app gets stuck. There are ads coming frequently when using the app. The CamScanner logo is printed on all documents.

Excellent product and functionalities, lately too many ads.

Reviewed 2 years ago

The user experience is good, because the free version downloads, installs and runs smoothly. It is not an excellent experience because of the excess of Ads and that sometimes the pp gets slow or crashes.

Pros

Taking photos of a multi-page document with your phone and generating a PDF is really quick and easy. The functionality that recognizes the page in the photo, and then straightens it is really very useful. Also, it works in batches with virtually no human help.

Cons

Lately the free version has been heavily advertised. This causes the application to freeze. It runs slow between advertising and large files, and sometimes crashes. The cloud sharing features are not very easy to use. Sharing by email or local saving are. But for example, sharing via Whatsapp requires sharing via the cloud (generate a link, etc), which seems more difficult than necessary.

CamScanner Review

Reviewed 2 years ago

Ability to scan even when power is not available makes it unique

Pros

It's ability to scan in PDF and JPEG format is fascinating. One doesn't need a scanning machine for scanning when camscanner is available

Cons

A lot of features are missing, which makes a scanning machine unique. Scanning can't be done in gray scale.
