Finally, someone has made a
mobile capture app that is simple to use, and gives you high quality documents. I have to say I was a bit skeptical when I downloaded Scannable to my iPhone 6. Having spent some time in the capture industry, I had done quite a bit of research on the apps on the market, including "Enterprise"grade and "Consumer" grade capture. Scannable is the best I have tested for a wide variety of reasons. Here are some of the key benefits of Scannable:
- Auto Document Finder - Oh man, I just love it. You set your doc on a dark background, and the app searches for the edges of the document, and auto-snaps the image. I tested the app with all types of documents, from full size pages to small receipts, and it did a great job! No need to perform a crop after the snap, or retake because the image was blurry.

Automatically Finds Documents |
- Auto Image Processing - Once you have snapped your picture, some magic happens, and the image is auto-adjusted for the best quality. From what i can tell, the product provides deskew, despeckle, auto-cropping and adjustment of color.
- Fast Multi-page Document Scanning - One of the drawbacks to other apps is that each page is an ordeal, and it can be quite time consuming when you try and scan multi-page docs. With Scannable, I can layout my document pages, hover for a brief moment over each, and it auto-snaps!!
- Integration - Once you are done with a scan, you have a variety of option on where you can send it. Right now, here are your options: Evernote, Mail, Message, Export (iCloud), Camera Roll and More (installed apps).

Variety of Integration Options |
- PDF Conversion - post scan, in your Evernote Notebook, you have the ability to view the document as an attachment, and it converts to PDF.
- Integration with Fujitsu ScanSnap - Although really great for smaller documents, you may have the need to use a sheet fed scanner for higher page counts. You have the option of using a Fujitsu ScanSnap wireless scanner as an input source as well.
- LinkedIn Integration - If you use Scannable for business card scanning, it auto-reads the information on the card, and finds the individual on LinkedIn.
The best part about this application is that it is free!! I would highly recommend it for any working professional that would like to always have a scanner in their pocket ;)
