OCR Text Scanner: QuickScan 4+

An Incredible Document Scanner

Have you ever wanted to make a digital copy of your physical papers and files? Well then, QuickScan is the app for you! Creating digital copies of all of your physical documents is extraordinarily simple and takes no time at all to copy each individual document. Simply open the app, press the New Scan button, and hold your document in front of your iPhone or iPad’s camera and the app will automatically take a picture of the document, allowing you to quickly move on to your next document to continue creating digital copies of all of your physical files. If having the app automatically snap a photo of your file is too fast or too imprecise for what you are wanting, you can always enable manual shutter to be able to better position your photo, prior to manually snapping a photo of your document, or simply edit the cropping of each of your document’s individual photos. After you finish taking photos of your documents with this fantastic app, then you can share those documents to whoever it is that you might want to have your documents, or you can save them for later. In addition to being a stellar document scanner, QuickScan collects no data at all and has absolutely no ads.

Still the best OCR scanner in my opinion

After using the latest version of "Quickscan" I continue to be impressed with the quality of the scanning output and the English OCR. Regarding English OCR, the app is almost flawless in reading even poor quality photos or PDFs and translating them into readable and searchable PDF text versions. The app also continues to do a non-destructive conversion. That way if a word doesn't correctly translate, it will still appear as the original.

This latest rollout includes the ability to store your scans in the app. That is really helpful sometimes when you need to go back and make a change to a prior scan. You can now do some basic editing within the app, such re-ordering or deleting pages before the conversion. This update provides a noticeable improvement in the image quality of PDF scan, especially if set to the highest quality scan setting.

Best of all, this app is *free*. I find that unbelievable given the quality. So if you download it and find it as useful as I do, give the developer a tip and we will continue to receive updates to the best OCR scanner on the App Store, IMO.

I can't thank you enough for this review, a real pleasure to read, pure motivation. Thank you!! 🙏🏻

Excellent privacy focused on device scanner

I’ve been trying to find a privacy focused fully on-device scanner that gathers no personal data, uses no cloud processing or storage, AND supports OCR layer to make searchable PDFs. Apparently this was almost impossible to find… UNTIL now. This developer totally gets it and understands there is a demand for exactly this type of app. The app is beautifully and thoughtfully designed to be simple and streamlined but with advanced features. Even though this app is free, I have donated to support the developer and continued updates. I don’t pay for apps often, but if you find value in this free app, I strongly encourage you to donate because that is the only way to ensure this type of high quality app gets made and continually updated since developer makes no money off selling your data like most other apps. He deserves it. Well done!
