I have had this APP for a
long time, but never used it much until today.
It has improved with upgrades and now it is quite functional. What does
it do better that a mere photo?
1.
it has a camera
to allow you to photograph a print document, such as an 8.5 x 11 document. Such as instructions for a device of some sort. Or a newspaper article.
2.
if turboscan feels color
is needed, it will make the output in color
3.
if turboscan sees it is
purely black and white, it will make it that
4.
it allows the
user to easily darken the blacks or vice versa to get a better image
5.
it then allows an
easy cropping option
6.
then, the
important thing, it converts whatever was photographed into a PDF file, not
Jpeg. But, if you prefer Jpeg, it will
do that at the last minute instead
7.
then it offers
fast option to email it to yourself – a great feature, because when you get to your
desktop PC with printer, you can then print the PDF for filing and/or mailing to a
client or something. Or electronically filing
it.
8.
it offers an instant
option to send it to Drop Box, or Evernote or something like that instead of
emailing it
This APP was introduced to me by
my air conditioning service man. He used
it to scan installation diagrams, hand written or other billing notices he
prepared on the jobsite and even took photos of the equipment serial numbers
and made it into a PDF as well. Saving
much time. He then sent them off to his
office, a pre-programmed email address.
Bottom line, by the time he
left the jobsite, his office had all the data on the equipment, a signed
receipt by the customer, and original photo-pdf of the equipment numbers and
vital data to put in the customers drop box (or other storage location)_
Pdf’s are better for many
things than photos, and this system enhances black print on white paper, the
most common, for easy readability in pdf format.I think the APP is free, or nearly free.
