So here's my honest take on CamScanner- scanner, PDF maker. I've tested a bunch of scanning apps and this one's pretty much the best I've found. The automatic cropping and cleanup works really well, and the OCR is surprisingly accurate. And it's free to download and use the basic features, which is great. The only downsides are the ads in the free version and the fact that some advanced tools are locked behind a paywall. But if you just need a solid document scanner, CamScanner is hard to beat.

Description

Been using CamScanner- scanner, PDF maker for a couple months now. It’s basically an app that lets you quickly scan documents and convert them to PDF or other formats. Pretty solid if you’re always dealing with paperwork and want to ditch the clunky copy machine.

Here’s what you do: just take a photo of the document with your phone and CamScanner will clean it up, straighten it out, and convert it. And there’s also an OCR feature that can recognize text, which is pretty cool. And you can edit the scans, add annotations, and share them right from the app – took me a while to figure that out but it’s super useful.

Look, if you’re always scanning receipts, forms, or other documents, you’ll probably like this. It’s not perfect – the free version has some annoying ads – but overall it does the job. Worth checking out if you need a simple, powerful scanner in your pocket.
