What TurboScan is
TurboScan turns an iOS or Android phone into a scanner for documents, receipts, notes, whiteboards, photos, and other text. It detects document edges, corrects perspective, and can create multipage PDF or JPEG files. SureScan takes three pictures of one document to produce sharper scans, especially in low light. You can name and search documents, add or reorder pages, and organize scans into folders. Files can be emailed or messaged as PDF or JPEG, saved to Photos, or opened in Google Drive and other PDF cloud apps. Listed integrations include iCloud Drive, AirDrop, AirPrint, and Turbo Fax. An API lets another app invoke single- or multipage scanning when TurboScan is installed. The free Android version costs nothing and allows three multipage documents. TurboScan Pro for Android costs $5.99, paid once, while TurboScan Premium for iOS costs $19.99, paid once. On iOS, processing occurs on the device and the maker says scanned documents and listed tracking data are not collected. Android documents remain local unless shared, though anonymized aggregated usage information may be collected.
