PDF Scanner app - TapScanner

A phone scanner and PDF toolkit for paperwork

TapScanner, from the developer Tap AI, uses a phone's camera to capture paper documents and then works on them as PDFs. The listing names receipts, business cards, contracts and multi-page documents as the kinds of paper it is built for.

It suits people who regularly turn paper into files they need to keep, sign or send. The scanning side handles the photo, and the PDF side handles what happens to the pages afterwards.

Scanning paper with edge detection and filters

Edge detection finds the borders of a page, and image correction is meant to make the result readable. Brightness and contrast can be adjusted, shadows can be removed, and filters can be applied. The listing also describes an auto enhance option.

Several pages can be captured and compiled into one PDF with the pages in order. Batch scanning lets a run of documents go through in one session.

Merging, splitting and marking up PDFs

Existing PDFs can be merged and split, and their pages reordered, inside the app. Signing and annotation are done on the file directly.

The developer says exports use standard PDF formats and keep full quality. Files can also be password protected when they hold sensitive material.

Pulling searchable text from scans with OCR

OCR converts images of text into text you can search and edit, and the listing says it covers over 110 languages. A scanned contract or receipt can then be searched for a word, rather than read page by page.

Filing, syncing and printing scans

Scans can be renamed with one tap and organized automatically. Cloud sync covers Google Drive, Dropbox and OneDrive, and the listing mentions other services as well.

Finished files can be sent by email or through messaging apps, or printed directly to a Wi-Fi printer.
