Ample sharing options: A good scanning app provides a convenient way to share your scans and OCR results on all the channels you like to use-email, Dropbox, Google Drive, Slack, printers, faxes, and more.Some apps export raw text (either as a TXT file or copied to the clipboard), while others provide formatted text in RTF or DOC files. Accurate text recognition: The best scanning apps use optical character recognition (OCR) to locate text in an image and convert it to an editable document.Different apps provide different scan resolutions and different filters, some of which are better than others at smoothing out wrinkles, shadows, and other blemishes. Great image quality: Although the scan quality is partly dependent on the quality of your phone’s camera, it also has a lot to do with the app itself.

We looked for apps with intuitive controls, a thoughtful layout, and helpful features such as automatic document recognition and capture. Ease of use: Above all else, scanning apps need to be easy to use, or else you won’t want anything to do with them.
