Turn your iPhone into a mobile scanner for free

BELGRADE, SERBIA: Pixelnetica, application development company has announced the release of a new free version of SharpScan with all of the functionality of the Professional product.

SharpScan claims that with SharpScan iPhone app, user can scan documents and photos on the go in less than 3 seconds per page.

Simply taking a picture of a document with the iPhone camera does not result in document quality images. Photos display geometric distortion resulting from the angle of the camera in relation to the document and often have unwanted background shadows.

SharpScan's unique Smart Crop feature offers fully automated boundary detection, cropping, image alignment, and perspective correction for fast, accurate image acquisition, though these parameters may be adjusted manually by the user as well, said a release.

Pixelnetica CEO, Dmitry Harchenko, said: "SharpScan raises the bar for mobile scanning applications to a new level."

"It's designed to take full advantage of the iPhone's hardware capabilities such as muticore processing and GPU acceleration. Our proprietary artificial intelligence algorithms that accurately identify the edge of a document and automatically make cropping decisions without help from the user are unmatched by our competitors."

SharpScan it is the only mobile scanning app on the market that creates tiny true Black-and-White, scanner-quality, PDF images, said Pixelnetica and further added, combined with the lossless image compression results in files which are up to 20 times smaller than a normal JPEG, an extremely important feature when data transfer speed or cost is an issue.

Pixelnetica said, it is working hard on a new version that will feature improved algorithms, faster speeds, and high quality as well as support for tablets and synchronization across devices via the cloud.
