When I quickly needed to transfer some notes or documents from paper to the iPad, I had to take a photo of the paper. But the photos were mostly distorted and unreadable, I was looking for a better solution. DocScan meets all the requirements for scanning, it's simple, it works, and it's even free. See how the app looks on the iPad and how to turn your device into a scanner. Right after launch you have two options to choose from- Camera a Photo albums
After selecting the first option, a window with a camera and a quadrilateral will start, the sides of which you can freely change, move and otherwise deform so that its corners correspond to the sides of the paper or any other substrate. When you are satisfied with the result, you can still edit the image by things like rotating, cropping, drawing, enlarging.
Photo Albums – The same applies to this option as to Camera, only instead of taking a photo, you choose from the images you have stored on your device.
It is also worth mentioning the auto-recognition, which will focus the selection on the place you are going to scan. It really worked for the vast majority of clipped papers, books, business cards, posters and whiteboards.
DocScan automatically saves scanned projects to PDF and you can easily access them via iTunes or email them directly from the app. You can also export them to a variety of other formats and apps. As a JPEG, you can upload them to Facebook, send it by email, or find it in the same format in iTunes. You can also export it to Evernote, Google docs, your iPad photo album, upload it to Dropbox, or print it using Airprinting.
One of the disadvantages of the free version of the application is that you can only have six documents stored at a time.

It doesn't change the fact that the iPad takes bad pictures. So the photographed A4 is not legible.
It is absolutely useless.
Why does the iPad have such a stupid camera?
Because the iPad is not a photo!
