Key Features of Adobe Scan
Scan Anything with Just One Tap
With the auto-capture feature, simply point your camera at the document you want to scan and tap the screen lightly, Adobe Scan will take care of the rest. Because of its convenience when integrated on your phone or tablet, you can scan anything, anywhere, and whenever you want.
Instant Editing with Scanned Documents
After scanning, Adobe Scan allows users to make essential but necessary edits such as using filters to make text clearer, erasing content without revealing it with self-adjusting background colors, rotating pages, and resizing according to standards.
Search Content within Scanned Document
If your document consists of multiple pages with dense text, give Adobe Scan's search feature a try! With OCR tool, simply enter the keyword you want to search and the app will immediately highlight that phrase on the scanned document for you to quickly find.
However, based on personal experience, since Vietnamese language is not supported on the app, search results may be incomplete. But if your document is in English, you can fully rely on this app!
Do More with Scanned Documents
Another interesting feature of Adobe Scan is its ability to recognize potential tasks. Specifically, when scanning business cards, documents with phone numbers, the app will gather data and suggest saving that phone number to contacts or making a call if desired.
Additionally, you can select and directly copy content from the scanned document and paste it wherever you need. Instead of manually typing or sending edited documents to others.
