SwiftScan: The Professional Document Scanner for Your Mobile Device

In today's digital world, the ability to quickly digitize and manage physical documents is essential. SwiftScan (formerly known as Scanbot) is a powerful mobile application designed to transform your smartphone into a versatile and intelligent document scanner. Users want SwiftScan because it delivers professionalgrade scans, advanced editing tools, and seamless cloud integration, directly from their pocket.  SwiftScan eliminates the need for bulky hardware by providing a fast, reliable, and highly accurate scanning solution for receipts, contracts, notes, and more. The primary function of SwiftScan is to create highquality PDFs or JPEGs with just a few taps, making document management effortless.

Intelligent AutoCapture and Edge Detection

The core scanning experience with SwiftScan begins by simply pointing your phone's camera at a document.  SwiftScan's intelligent autocapture feature automatically detects the edges of a page, even if it's on a busy background like a wooden table or carpet. Users do not need to press a shutter button manually; SwiftScan captures the image the instant it recognizes a perfectly aligned document. This automation streamlines the process, allowing for rapid scanning of multipage documents without frustrating manual adjustments. The result is a perfectly cropped, flat scan as if it were processed on a dedicated flatbed scanner.

Powerful PostScan Editing and Enhancement

Once a document is captured, SwiftScan provides a suite of editing tools to ensure the final result is clear and professional. Users can manually adjust the crop, correct perspective, or apply one of several filter modes. The 'Magic Color' filter enhances documents by making colors pop, 'Black & White' creates crisp monochrome scans ideal for text, and 'Grayscale' offers a middle ground. This step is crucial for ensuring the scanned document is legible and ready for sharing or archiving. The workflow is intuitive: scan, review the autoenhanced image, and make any minor tweaks necessary before finalizing.

Seamless Cloud Storage and Integration

A key strength of SwiftScan is its direct integration with popular cloud services. After scanning and editing, users are prompted to choose a destination for their file.  SwiftScan supports direct upload to platforms like Google Drive, Dropbox, OneDrive, iCloud, and Evernote. The user performs the action of selecting their preferred service, naming the file, and confirming the export. This workflow eliminates the need to save files to a device first and then manually upload them, creating a smooth, efficient pipeline from physical document to cloud storage, ensuring your important files are backed up and accessible from anywhere.

Advanced OCR for Searchable PDFs and Text Extraction

For professionals dealing with contracts or large volumes of text, SwiftScan offers an advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) feature. Users initiate this by scanning a document and then selecting the "Create Searchable PDF" option. The powerful OCR engine by Google processes the image, identifying and digitizing all text within it. The result is a PDF where you can use Ctrl+F (or Command+F) to find specific words, or you can choose to extract all the text to your clipboard. This transforms static images into dynamic, editable, and searchable data, saving immense amounts of time.

Organized Digital Filing System

Managing dozens of scans is simple with SwiftScan’s builtin organizational system.  SwiftScan automatically creates a catalog of all your scans, which users can then sort into customnamed folders—like 'Tax Receipts 2024' or 'Client Contracts'. The action involves tapping the 'New Folder' button, providing a name, and dragging relevant documents into it. This creates a structured, easytonavigate digital filing cabinet on your phone. This feature ensures that you can quickly locate any scanned document months or years later, turning a random collection of PDFs into an organized archive.

QR Code and Barcode Scanning

Beyond documents, SwiftScan doubles as a powerful code scanner. The user opens  SwiftScan and selects the dedicated barcode scanner mode from the main interface. Pointing the camera at a QR code or a product barcode will instantly recognize it. For QR codes, SwiftScan can display the embedded link, open it in a browser, or add a contact to your address book. For product barcodes, it can often pull up information from online databases. This versatile functionality makes SwiftScan a handy tool for quickly interacting with the physical world, from connecting to WiFi to checking product details.
