It helps too with documents that have been folded (like a receipt from your pocket). It also makes it easier to capture a readable scan without the need to have your device absolutely parallel with your document. This can often overcome the iPad shadow issue. Some apps will correct for the distortion from a device being held at an angle, rather than directly overhead. Good lighting will help obtain optimal results. One challenge to scanning with an iPad can be the shadow it casts over part of the document. Scanning in daylight near a window and/or with strong room lighting tends to work the best. Scan where there is bright, even lighting.Most scanning apps will automatically detect the document’s edge and the high contrast helps this work most effectively. Scan on a flat surface, such as a table or desk, whose color is dark enough to provide good contrast with the document.Start by installing a few, try them out, and see which works for your needs. Its features are quite limited, and it seems designed mainly to save scans to OneDrive. If you only want to save scans to Microsoft’s OneDrive, you might try Office Lens.
#My scanner pro free
The three I suggest to get a feel for scanning are ScanBot, Scanner Mini (a free version of Scanner Pro), or Evernote Scannable (if you’re in the Evernote ecosystem).

Many are free with ads, have a free version with a basic feature set (with an accompanying paid version), or offer in-app purchases to go ad-free or access advanced features. There are dozens of scanning apps in the iOS App Store. In response, I’ve put together my brief guide to getting started using your iOS device as a scanner. That is until I explain that, whether they realize it or not, they already have a capable scanner in their iPhone and iPad (many advisors on our campus have iOS devices). They express great interest in paperless systems, but see the presumed expense is a definite barrier. When I mention that I’m scanning documents for students’ files to my advising colleagues they often assume that our office has an expensive scanner.
