Fast Scanner
What Fast Scanner is
Fast Scanner turns an Android or iOS phone into a scanner for receipts, notes, invoices, business cards, whiteboards, and other paper text. Scans can be saved as PDF or JPEG, including multipage PDFs, and OCR is included. Pages can be added to or deleted from a PDF, while image-editing options aim to improve readability. Scans can be emailed, opened in other apps, or printed through Cloud Print and other print apps. Documents are stored locally, with optional automatic uploads to Google Drive, Dropbox, or OneDrive. For cloud storage, the app requests app-folder permission and can access only files it created. Communications with the maker’s servers are encrypted. Fast Scanner Free costs nothing and lists unlimited scan documents and unlimited features, but contains ads and in-app purchases. A Google Play paid listing describes a one-time purchase with free updates at an unlisted price; the App Store lists a $4.99, paid once Pro upgrade. iOS requires 13.0 or later, and iPadOS requires 13.0 or later.
