Scanbot for iOS

This is a guest post by our friend, Bradley Chambers.



Scanning from my iPhone has really made a big impact on my ability to go paperless in my life. Scanbot is my current go-to app for this. It’s extremely fast and simple. Some of the included features:

  • Automatic upload to many cloud services (Google Drive, Dropbox, Evernote, Box, OneDrive)
  • Ability to edit and sign documents after scanning
  • Multi-page scan support
  • Automatic perspective correction

The app is only $1.99, but there is an in-app purchase for $4.99 that unlocks other great features:

  • OCR support for 60 languages
  • 7 additional themes
  • Smart file naming (this allows for a lot of customization)

I loved Scanbot before the Pro option, but the upgrade adds some awesome features. I highly recommend it for iPhone* scanning.
