In our daily life, we save a lot of photos at will, such as teachers’ PPT in class, company documents, screenshots when surfing the Internet, paper reading notes, certificate photos, paper shopping tickets, paper contracts and so on. When we need to quickly extract and transcribe the text in these photos, we need to use ScanScan. 

“When I need to quickly recognize the text in the picture, the first app that comes to my mind is ScanScan.” 

===OCR===

When you want the text in a picture, you have to read and type at the same time. When you want to activate a gift card on the mobile app, you have to input a long string of irregular characters while looking at it. How uncomfortable.

Open the app, and the album will be automatically opened. Select the picture and click "OCR" in the lower right corner to scan and recognize all the text in the picture. All text is selected by default. You can also select text freely and purposefully. When text is selected, there is a highlighted green on it, and then click "ToText" in the lower right corner to copy, export or translate these contents. 

All of the text in the pictures can be transcribed into text for saving or sharing through the above methods. 

===Batch Process===

Long press to select multiple pictures in the “Photos” page, or open "Camera" to take multiple pictures, and you can handle these pictures at a time for text recognition. Fast speed even there are many words.

The recognized text is all selected by default. You can also select part of the text you need, and then copy, export and share the text. Or you can select some words, then call other third-party apps to share them with your friends or save them in "Files". 

What makes it even better is that photos just taken consecutively can also be converted into PDF files! 

===Paper Documents Scanning===

The scanning results are self-evident below.

Open the app and select “Scan Files”. If you need to scan multiple pages, select “Multi Page”. It can scan multiple files in batches. Whether "Edge Detect" is enabled depends on your personal needs. I took several consecutive photos of paper documents, and the scanned text was very accurate. 

In "Color", you can choose different effects, such as "Color Doc (Soft)", which can reduce the rigidity caused by the unique white tone of scanned documents. All the scanned pictures can also be exported to PDF files or be OCRed! 

===Form Recognition===

Open the app, click "camera" - "photo Orc", aim your camera at the paper form to shoot. Select "Form" at the top and click "Recognize Form" at the bottom right corner. 

Forms that need to be manually entered for a whole day can be electronic in a few seconds, and can be quickly shared with friends or transferred to computers. 

===Data Archiving and Sharing===

Whether it's the text in the photo, the text in the screenshot, or the PDF file, you can send it directly for printing, or generate a TXT file for filing.

At the same time, it can manage the interactive association of app. After recognition, add commonly used software in “Add” - “Manage App”, then click the corresponding app to paste the text just copied, which is very convenient. 

“ScanScan is an OCR software with high cost performance.”

The original intention of the developer to design the software is very sweet. He just wanted to make a lightweight OCR character recognition tool for his girlfriend, which is convenient for taking notes while reading. But this requirement is actually needed by many people.
