FineSCanner App enables iPhones to scan books and documents on-the-go

ABBYY’s FineSCanner is an app for scanning books with your iPhone and iPad, using the breakthrough BookScan technology. A new version of FineScanner has launched, with new document ‘capture’ technology; it automatically finds the edges of a page and photocopies it without having to press a button. All you have to do is to place your smartphone on a document and scanning begins automatically.

Due to the new technologies of Apple iOS 9 – which has 3D Touch and Spotlight Search – you can effectively work anywhere at anytime, needing only your iPhone.

“We developed BookScan technology which took us two years and it has no analogies.  You don’t need to have a scanner for books, bills, contracts or other paperwork – you can just use BookScan. It recognizes book pages on snapshots and splits them into two separate images, each containing only one page. It automatically corrects curved lines on a page, removes geometrical distortions, and repairs lighting defects. Book scanning has never been easy. Now you can keep large libraries in your pocket, as ABBYY relies on mobile technologies wherever you are. ABBYY’s technologies have already been used  by more than 40 million people in 200 countries around the world,” as Artem Kumpel, VP of Mobile Products at ABBYY, has noted.

ABBYY FineScanner is the only App in the world that recognizes and converts any document of printed material into 44 languages, including Chinese, Japanese, and Korean. This latest update offers its users much more sophisticated technology than any competitors on the market. You can save your document in eight popular formats: Word, Excel, Powerpoint, and PDF, among others. Your documents can be sent via e-mail, or saved into iPhone or iCloud servers.

“ABBYY understands that today people need to access and transform information into useful knowledge and actions in real-time. By launching our BookScan technology, we bring yet another level of mobile functionality to our growing customer base,” said Dean Tang, CEO of ABBYY North America Headquarters. “Following the success of our FineScanner app, we saw the opportunity to expand our mobile offerings and add continued value to our customers by allowing them to seamlessly scan books, bringing a host of new uses for both those with visual impairments, as well as those using the application for business purposes.”
