What it does
Fix it in seconds
Crop and perspective correction squares up a page shot at an angle. Brightness and contrast rescue a scan taken in bad light.
Read the text, on-device
OCR recognises Latin script plus Korean, Chinese and Japanese, with auto-detection. Recognition runs locally, so it works with no connection.
Scanning guides by document type
Every document has its own trap — glare on a laminated card, a curved book spine, a receipt too long for one frame. 32 guides, one per document type.
