CamScanner - PDF Scanner App
How does the OCR feature work in CamScanner?
CamScanner uses optical character recognition to turn scanned text into searchable content. After scanning a document, you can tap the OCR button, and the app will analyze the image and let you highlight and copy text, making it easy to find specific words or phrases without reading the entire document.
Can I add signatures or watermarks to my scanned documents?
Yes, CamScanner includes annotation tools that let you add digital signatures, text, or watermarks like 'PAID' directly onto your scans. This saves you from having to print, sign, and rescan, and it gives your documents a professional look.
Why do ads keep popping up, and can I remove them?
The free version of CamScanner displays ads between actions, which can interrupt your workflow. To remove ads entirely, you'll need to subscribe to the premium plan, which also unlocks advanced features like larger cloud storage and multi-language OCR.
How do I fix a blurry or poorly lit scan?
CamScanner has an auto-enhance feature that corrects lighting and color issues with one tap. If your scan still looks off, you can manually adjust brightness, contrast, and apply filters like 'Magic Color' or 'Black & White' to sharpen the document and make it readable.
How does CamScanner compare to Adobe Scan?
Both apps offer excellent scanning and OCR, but CamScanner stands out with its robust annotation tools and batch scanning for multi-page documents. Adobe Scan integrates more deeply with Acrobat for advanced PDF editing, while CamScanner's free tier is more generous for everyday use.
