Can the app use the camera flash when taking the picture? I have tried some of the free apps for document scanning and the lack of a flash has a grey background when printing. Or are there options to brighten the page?

Imagine a truck driver needing to fax a document to headquarters prior to customs for clearance. The paperwork needs to be printed on the recipients end. Needs to be very legible after printing.

Yes, you can turn on the flash. Moreover, there is a feature to auto-enhance the contrast of text and remove the gray background and replace it with white, check out screenshot 4 above for an illustration. To get the absolutely best results, I'd still recommend taking the photo in good lighting conditions with plenty of ambient light available, and not rely on the flash alone.

I used this app to scan signed documents for my mortgage renewal which I then sent to my broker from my phone. Worked great and saved me a lot of time!

Probably a dumb question. So I apologize in advance... Can you edit the created pdfs?

The app does not use OCR, so the PDF documents are not editable. It does work well and the document can be easily shared.

Great app! One of the last type of apps I have been missing on BB10.

Bought it for my Z10, but where is a Q10 version? ;-)

[dafbb1]

The latest release has Q10 support and has just been approved by BlackBerry, it should be available in BlackBerry World now!

I like that idea, also. I use a small free OCR program on my Win machine. But sometimes it would be convenient on the phone.

The OCR on "Scan to Text Pro" ( http://appworld.blackberry.com/webst...ntent/25231876 ) is really good.
Use it very often to extract text from a document I "scan" with the phone.

I guess the Q10's camera is good for something after all lol
