[Android] $0: SkanApp Hands-Free PDF Scanner (Was $30.99) @ Google Play

1200

Good ratings. Not sure if this worth $30 but its free now and looks amazing in youtube video to give a try :)

Do Watch Youtube Video to get an idea of this app capabilities.- Thanks to homersyd

Enjoy :)

Place your smartphone in the Skanstick, available on Amazon and www.go2get.com, and enjoy the benefits of scanning naturally, in place.

Having both hands free, enhanced by Augmented Reality buttons, lets you hold and scan stapled documents, folded receipts, books and magazines and even add voice remarks without touching the phone.
With the app's incredible speed of 250+ pages in 10 minutes¹, you can declutter your office by scanning all those documents in big three-ring binders and piles of folded receipts quickly and easily.
OCR (100+ languages) is done on the phone, Internet is not required.
The ability to create your own PDF Keywords in any language regardless of the languages used in the document, makes it easy to organize and find documents later.

SkanApp's Email service will automatically split large PDF files or groups of JPEG images into several emails with valid attachment sizes.

When used in a hand-held mode, especially outside on a sunny day when on-screen buttons are difficult to see, the SkanApp offers a convenient option to use physical, tactile buttons of your smartphone. Press the Volume Down button to turn on/off the voice notes recording. And use a single and double press on the Volume Up button to take pictures and blast them into the Cloud as JPEG or multipage PDF files.
The Augmented Reality Capture and Cloud buttons can also be activated remotely by any Bluetooth selfie stick, Bluetooth remote shutters and any headphones or audio cables (i.e. Cellet's Hands-Free Audio Cable, UPC 800768507113) with a Media button.

¹ Once scanning is finished, the app can be suspended/paused (Home button), and the long running tasks, such as OCR, will be completed by its background process.

    Cheers

    • WOW .. Thanks to Youtube Link :)

      • I'm just hoping this app will work with any kinda phone mount/stand (ie. doesnt require any special markers on the "official" phone stand)

          Did you look at their website which tells you how to make your own stand?

    This looks damn fine if it works as expected

  • It will have some restrictions. It says in-app purchasing

    • The only IAP I've found so far is skew correction. Could be more though

        really? That's disappointing…I thought this app was supposed to be like $30+
        Does this mean even when people paid $30 they still didnt have skew correction?

    Interestingly, there doesn't appear to be an iOS version.

    • Yeah.. I was also after iOS version :(

    This looks great. Thanks OP.
    It might be handy to use with a sheet music scan to pdf program.

  • Cygnett do a stand as well

    Here is an affordable DIY flower vase stand ;-)

  • You could probably just these as a cheapo stand:
    1. use a selfie stick with a tripod mount at the bottom
    2. small desktop tripods

    If you're after a more casual alternative, Office Lens (part of MS Office suite, and available at least on Android) was my go-to before this. Great to just snap a photo of a receipt or document, and have it OCRed and available as a word document that includes the OCRed text as well as the original image.
