iScanner lets iPhone and iPad users handle documents and scanning like a boss

TLDR: The iScanner app is the no. 1 way iOS users can handle, convert, or edit documents their way — and it’s now 79 percent off.

We all love our phones. And over the past decade, their functionality has exploded to the point that there’s now precious little your iPhone can’t do in a pinch. However, there are some tasks you face that immediately make you think, eww, I’m going to have to tackle that one back at the office.

And these aren’t highly complicated tasks either. We’re talking about scanning documents, changing file types, simple processing, and other work-related business that just gets too hard to do with just a phone.

iScanner ($39.99, 79 percent off, from TNW Deals) is helping iPhone and iPad users bridge that gap, bringing together a package of advanced scanning and document management features into one place to help make all those tasks a lot more doable through just your mobile device.

With over 70 million downloads, it’s the no. 1 scanning app in the Apple App Store as Gizmodo praised the service for “cleverly leveraging an always-connected camera to do more than just intelligently make photos look prettier.”

In fact, the camera in the iOS device plays a huge role in iScanner’s effectiveness. Utilizing artificial intelligence, iScanner turns your camera into a document scanner, helping translate contracts, paper notes, faxes, receipts, and more into usable and sharable digital assets. It’s also used to scan documents like passports and ID cards for verification, or QR codes for random information. 

It’s so smart, it’ll even do your math for you. Point it at similar objects and iScanner will count them, or point it at a math equation and iScanner will solve it. It’ll even measure an object’s length and calculate total room area.

iScanner can resave documents and photos as PDFs, jpegs or text files, allow for easy markups, color correct and remove noise from scans, lock folders and files with a PIN, or let users put an electronic signature or stamp on a certain document.

For all that versatility, it’s not hard to understand how a lifetime subscription to the iScanner app service would be a $199 value. But with this deal, you can knock nearly 80 percent off that price and get all its abilities forever for just $39.99.
