Simple, accurate, and privacy first
PeopleCallMeT
Fast, accurate, and refreshingly simple. ScanWow puts privacy first, with everything staying on your device by default. The scans are great, the text extraction is spot on, and there’s zero clutter. You can tell this was made with care.

Appreciate the kind words. Keeping it simple and on-device was the whole point, so glad that came through.

Grab text is awesome

Great for scanning unique items. Best way to turn your phone into a scanner!! The ability to take a picture and grab all text instantly is amazing!
Developer Response
Really glad the text grabbing is clicking for you, 43jinks. That's the part we spent the most time on, so good to hear it's working.

• Tap Magic Enhance on any page for AI clean-up and formatting, only when you want it.
• Black & white is cleaner: even lighting, no blown-out shadows.
• Your B&W or gray choice now sticks across pages and exports.
• Choose your PDF size: Small (easy to email), Standard, or High quality.
• PDFs are named after your document.
• Fixes: no more lost pages, faster load after tapping Done, smoother multi-page handling, and many stability improvements.
