Hi everyone,
I'm the developer of Genius Scan for iOS.
We just released Genius Scan 5.2 last week. This version now includes Text Recognition (OCR) as part of Genius Scan+ !
With OCR, Genius Scan not only produces image versions of scanned documents, but also extracts the text from the images. Combining the bitmap image and the text layer enables several new features:
Creating searchable/copyable PDFs. With Text Recognition, the PDF files created with Genius Scan contain a text layer. Users can copy the text or search within their documents in Apple Preview or Adobe Acrobat Reader.
Indexing and searching the documents content. Search is not limited to the title of documents anymore. Searching for "Best Buy" will surface any receipt containing these words in the document body. Retrieving archived documents becomes effortless.
Scanning business cards. Genius Scan 5.2 recognizes business cards and surfaces relevant actions, such as the ability to create a contact, call a number, email someone or navigate to an address.
Other smart content actions. If a date is detected in a document, Genius Scan will suggest to rename the document with this date. This lets users archive document based on their actual date rather than the scan date, resulting in more accurate document archiving.
The official announcement can be found on our blog post: https://blog.thegrizzlylabs.com/2019/03/genius-scan-5.2-with-text-recognition.html
You can download Genius Scan here: https://dl.tglapp.com/genius-scan.
We would love your feedback!
