CamScanner - My Favorite App (2)

CamScanner is basically a portable, pocket scanner. It uses your Android Phone's Camera to take the picture of your document or photo and enhance, and crop the image to give it the same look as a scanned page. You can convert your scanned documents into a PDF file for free, too. Another cool feature added to CamScanner is OCR, it basically scans the Scanned document to find text, and then convert it to a text file so you can edit the text. Isn't it cool. Even though I have a Scanner in my home, but 90% of the time I use this app to scan stuff and send it to friends, becasue it is just easily to take out, my ppone and snap and picture through CamScanner, it will then enhance it and you're done.  This really depends on the Camera. If your Android phone has a good camera, you'll produce awesome, readable scanned documents. I recommend using this app on a phone that has at least a 5 MP Camera, in order to have good scanned stuff. I use this app on my Nexus 4 (which has an 8 MP Camera) and it just works flawless.
