Scan Thing: Scan Anything - Reviews, Revenue and Downloads - Apple App Store

Description

Scan anything: objects, people, animals, plants, books, documents, text, and art. Scan Thing is the quickest and easiest way to capture and save anything around you.

Capture books and documents with the original images intact and the text embedded. Save your scan as a single- or multi-page PDF with all its text fully searchable and selectable.

Just the text? Frame a page, a document, a sign, or a receipt. Tap to extract the text. Tap again to copy it to the clipboard.

Export is easy. Share via Airdrop or text. Save to your photo library or a folder of your choice. Or copy your scan to other apps.

No nonsense. Just the app. You don't need an account to use Scan Thing. You don't need internet access. Your scans never leave your device and all processing happens on your device. Because your privacy is important (not to mention none of our business), we collect no data whatsoever and we don't use any third-party code. Your privacy is yours, and we think it should stay that way.

A one-time in-app purchase. No subscriptions. No adds. No shenanigans. You can try Scan Thing for free, and, when you're ready, you can unlock unlimited scans with one payment.

Ok but

I one of the few apps I have purchased, does the job (I guess) but not a friendly / intuitive app.A big improvement would be a manual . Where do the files created get saved to?

Scan thing

Brilliant yes

A little manual control would be nice

This app is nearly very good at clipping objects on the fly or from photos, except it often leaves a bit behind, the cause, simply because the missing piece is tonally different to the rest of the object. The app also does the opposite and ads pieces that are not part of the object because it buts up against and is tonally the same as the object. I feel that a little bit of manual control of the clipping process would be a great help to an otherwise excellent app. It’s not always possible to have the object surrounded with a neutral background. Something to think about for a fourth coming update perhaps.

Excellent

I do a lot of small product photography this app is great just pop the item on any background and it removes the surrounding image leaving a clean image, occasional freeze up and now and then I do need to move position as not all the image is there but those are minor issues. I have not tried the text option yet. Update:- Still a good app but buggy, often I’ll press scan object and the icon in the centre just keeps spinning constantly or freezes i have to close the app then re-start this happens often. I have reported the bug but no response from developer.

Good and bad

Scans well but Exported file contains same page repeatedly

Best scanning app ever

This app is a pure joy to use. It is worth it for the object scanning function alone, just point at what you want to show the world, and that’s all the world gets to no matter what is on you desk. The scan documents function is really good too, it’s quick and very effective. Yet this app still has more to offer, if you see some text that you want to have access to, and you can read it so can this app, copy that address, telephone number, email address, and then use them. It’s brilliant just brilliant. Awesome!!

One word: WOW!

Worth every penny. This app is brilliant. Very rarely have I bought an app that was as brilliant as it claimed to be but this one… absolutely wow! And at this price point; double wow! I expected an expensive subscription but it’s a small one time payment. Thanks to the developer for this brilliant and great priced app. I’m blown away by its ability and ideas for where I could use it. Simply brilliant!

Simply Brilliant

A great application for copying documents, objects, text etc. When copying objects and documents the application removes any background textures. Accurate and ease of use gives this application 5 Stars.

Great app

Would be great if i could copy and paste scanned object to any picture in my gallery

Needs Auto save option for document scans

I’m a little disappointed when scanning documents, even though I take them, I don’t know where to find the files of the scans if I have missed the step to save them to a location, hence I lose hours of work, by a simple mistake. Surely you should be able to take them then they save to your gallery, or to your iCloud folder, please add this auto location saving option to the settings page of the App.
