    If you are looking for a scanner app for your iphone, you will love this one!

    App info is currently processing and/or the app is not yet fully available for sale on the US App Store.


    Review from an book scanning expert: http://diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=451


    Page scanner digitalizes your business documents and books, and it helps
    to organize important information right on your iphone . Its leading
    image binarization technique provides the best scanning quality without
    manual adjustment. Its built-in OCR converts your scans into plain text
    for editing and sharing.

    IMAGE PROCESSING

    - Fast image binarization. Always produce best quality with a single tap.
    - Rotate, Crop and Flatten. Make your scan as clean as possible.

    DESIGN FOR BOOK SCANNING

    - Continuous scan with customizable timer
    - Batch editing process hundreds of pages with a few taps
    - Folder merging shuffle left and right pages together (in 2.0)
    - Create PDF
    - OCR to plain text

    INFORMATION MANAGEMENT

    - Pages are organized in folders. You can reorder pages, add folder, and copy page between folders
    - Preview PDF documents
    - Revise OCR texts
    - Email scanned pages or documents
    - Support iTunes file sharing.

    SUPPORT

    You can access our support right in the app:

    - Send feedbacks whenever in doubt or trouble.
    - Read online FAQ to see how to improve scanning quality, ocr quality,
    and other guidelines.
    - Page scanner is under active development, please post your comments or
    suggestions on our online user group.
    - Review me provides a shortcut for you to comment on page scanner in app store.

    I don't care about features. Only one thing matters with these kinds of apps, and all the previous ones have failed that test: does it actually work?

    I'm interested but I need it primarily to scan receipts for expenses. Receipt are often blue on an off-white or a shiny rather than a matte surface. How does it hold up for those types?

    Thank your for your interest.

    I guess you want to turn your receipts into black and white (A process we call binarization). As long as there are not too much colors mixed together, the result is always good. So I think in your case, blue-on-white, the result should be as good as black on white. There is no problem with shiny or shadows, as long as your eyes can still easily tell the difference between text and background then page scanner can also do it!

    If you are not sure about the quality, please just wait for a while. A lite version page scanner is waiting for review. As soon as it comes out, I can PM you about it.

    Perhaps I should include some demos for this scenario. I have to admit that I didn't think it is common scenario before, obviously that was wrong.
