User Reviews

PaperScan is praised as a user-friendly pocket scanner that turns photos into PDFs and makes sharing easy, with strong auto edge detection improving scan quality. It shines for receipts and on-the-go document capture and has a no-fee model. However, users note that edge detection can be inconsistent and sometimes requires manual boundary adjustments. There are also reports of occasional scanning glitches and mixed results with DocuWare integration. Overall, it's a capable tool with room for reliability improvements.
Pros
  • Very easy to use and self-explanatory for capturing documents on the go.
  • Produces high-quality scans thanks to auto edge detection and skew correction.
  • Creates PDFs and supports easy sharing via email and cloud services (e.g., Dropbox).
  • No fees; free to use.
  • Great for receipts and on-the-go document capture, like having a pocket scanner.
Cons
  • Edge/boundary detection is inconsistent and often requires manual adjustment.
  • DocuWare integration can be inconsistent: some transfers work smoothly while others fail or bug out.
  • Occasional glitches in the scanning flow that interrupt the workflow (e.g., image not displaying after scan or needing retries).

It's OK. I haven't touched this kind of similar one before. I think it's better to download it with a try attitude. It's really good. I can't stop using it
