What xScan is

xScan is an iPhone document scanner that captures pages with the phone camera and saves them as PDF or JPEG. Automatic capture can assist scanning, while OCR extracts text and turns an image into editable content. Files can also be exported as DOC, and converted documents can move between Word and PDF. The app lets users add electronic signatures, share scans through social media, messaging apps, or email, upload them to Dropbox or Google Drive, and print over Wi-Fi. Its listing names 20 OCR languages, including English, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese, Arabic, and Hindi. The App Store description says scans remain stored locally and cannot be accessed by the developer or third parties. The privacy policy separately says third-party analytics are used and information may be shared with service providers and advertising partners. xScan requires iOS 15.0 or later and is only for iPhone. It has a free download, in-app purchases, and automatically renewing Pro subscriptions.
