You might not believe but you’ve got a real scanner in your cell phone. When I first used Scanner Pro, I did not realize how to manage my scanned files, it is a bit not clear quite how to organize scans.
Scanner Pro works as follow:
- You can either take a photo with the app or import a picture from the photo gallery of your phone.
- After uploading the file, Scanner Pro gives the quadrilateral drawing tool to select the area that you want it to be scanned. Actually Scanner Pro is really smart as it analyses your file and tries to guess the sections of the file that you wish to be scanned and it usually gets the correct areas. In addition the quadrilateral drawing tool, Scanner Pro features a magnifying glass to help you choosing the corners of the files accurately.
- The third step in the scanning process is to visually modify the scanned files, by tweaking the brightness, rotation, contrast and the image size.
- Once you finish creating the scan, there are several options for sharing, saving and emailing that you can use. Dropbox features a built-in support to several cloud storage platform like Dropbox, Google Docs and Evernote.
