Zoho Scanner is a document scanner that helps students, freelancers, and small business teams turn paper into searchable PDFs and images, using text recognition and e-signatures.
WHO IT'S FOR
Built for people who deal with paper they need to keep: students scanning notes and exam papers, small business owners filing receipts and invoices, admin teams capturing business cards and contracts, and anyone who needs a clean copy of an ID or official document. A good fit if you already keep documents in a cloud drive.
WHAT PEOPLE USE IT FOR
• Scan ID cards, passports, and official documents to keep a clear copy on hand
• Scan receipts, bills, and invoices so expenses get filed as they happen, not at month end
• Pull editable text out of printed pages and notes, and translate it into 17 languages
• Sign contracts and forms and email them back without printing anything
• Scan business cards so contact details are saved instead of lost
HOW IT WORKS
Scan — Point your iPhone or iPad camera at a page and Zoho Scanner finds the document's edges, so you get a straight, cropped scan instead of a photo of a page. Handles multi-page documents and imports from your photo library. Crop, edit, rotate, reorder pages, filter and annotate, then share as a PDF or an image.
Extract text — Text Recognition pulls the words out of a scan so you can edit them, find a document by what's inside it, and share the text as a file.
Translate — Turn a scanned document into any of 17 languages, including French, German, Spanish, Chinese, and Japanese, then send it as a file or paste it in a message.
E-sign — Add your signature, initials, name, and the date to a scan, powered by Zoho Sign, so you don't need a printer and a scanner to return a form.
Organize — Use folders, reminders, and tags to keep documents findable. Zoho Scanner suggests tags from a document's content, and Zia Lens sorts scans into documents, receipts, and business cards, then alerts you when new documents appear in your photos.
Share and automate — Send scans by email or iMessage, or upload to Zoho WorkDrive, Zoho Expense, Zoho Notebook, Photos, or your own cloud drive. Build a workflow once and its actions run in the order you set, so filing a receipt is one tap instead of five.
COMMON QUESTIONS

Can I edit the text after scanning?
Yes. Extract the text, edit it, and share it as a file by email or message.
Can I sign a document and send it back?
Yes. Add your signature and date with Zoho Sign, then email it without printing.
Can I translate a scanned document?
Yes, into 17 languages, and you can send the result as a file or paste it in a message.
Can I file receipts automatically?

I have a Zoho Wokplace Standard plan and I use this app to scan & save business cards. The app works well and has a good OCR feature. Navigation is a little confusing when saving and you can only apply a “save” workflow to the image scan, not the OCR .txt file. I have also found that I am unable to save to Zoho WorkDrive Team folders with this app - even though the app tells me that it has saved to the Team folder.Would be nice if the app had more features to add business card info directly to a database or spreadsheet - or even export as csv.Overall a nice app that is very useful to me.
Best to date so far

I have used Zoho email client for a long time and really like it and I thought I had tried all their apps I could until yesterday when I came across this document scanner and have just been totally impressed with it.I was using Microsoft lens app and I really liked it to, as well as Turbo scan which I believe I paid $10 for, it’s really good as well, but zoho scanner has out shined them all in my opinion. It has the most features, is the easiest to use with cleaner scans and great sharing capabilities. And I've tried probably 10 to 15 scanning apps trying to find the best one and I'm so happy I found it, thanks Zoho. To the developers my only suggestion is to throw in the standard version for your email customers, I know the app is free or has a free level but I'm missing some of the features I want and feel like they should be included for the people that have been loyal customers already. It's those kind of moves that keep your customers in your ecosystem like Apple has done and even though you'd give away the standard scan level, those kinds of things make loyal customers and make me more willing to pay for some of your other more premium apps.
Sleaze Free

Worthy. It does what it says it does. No fee. No ads. No bait and switch. It saves me so much time that I actually had to stop and write a review. If you’ve searched for a converter like this you know how much sleaze you have to clean off of you when searching online. If you have found this gem of an app, Congratulations my friend! You can now be both productive and sleaze free! Thank you ZOHO.
Just simply wonderful!

I document a lot, either being my son’s art work, business or household documents, this app has made all the mentioned tasks straightforwardly easy. It allows you to add pages, delete pages, and share the scanned documents via your preferred media. A must have if you are into documenting via scanning.
