        Well I have so much rewards credit that I need to use or else they'll just expire -_- I usually use the credits for the pro versions of the apps I use a lot :)

        • jv on 26/04/2017 - 00:25

          Well I have so much rewards credit that I need to use

          Same… the 10 cent credits from all those surveys quickly add up…

        • [Deactivated] on 26/04/2017 - 00:43

          Credit doesn't expire as long as you top up before 12 months has passed.

        • 0p on 26/04/2017 - 01:09

          As far as i know, credits do expire usually 12months from "earning" them.
          I confirmed this when i recently lost ~$10 in "promotional" credit.
          Now i use telstra starter packs…

    Google Drive has a scanning feature integrated, which I find more useful than a stand-alone app.

      I've always found GDrive's scanning ability pretty meh (Black and White always seem to be over contrasted)

    • EnALup on 26/04/2017 - 00:53

      Didnt use that feature. Thanks for the info.

    At 1:38 am on 26/4/17, the Google Play page said "sale ends in 8 hours". Get in quick, that's about 9:30am EST.

    Apparently, after you install it, you need to download an OCR module if you want to use OCR. Do that too before 9:30am, in case it stops being free at that time.

    • D6C1 on 26/04/2017 - 03:14

      Under settings, third icon on the bottom row panel.

      • Colombian on 26/04/2017 - 03:41

        How do you know if it was installed properly?

        • havebeerbelywillsumo on 26/04/2017 - 04:13

          After installing 2 OCR packages (and, yes it is a pain, there appears to be no acknowledgement they've been installed)I scanned a piece of paper then asked to OCR it. It was then I was asked which package of the two I wanted to use so I assume that confirms they're in…then said do an OCR and it proceeded to to do so. Must be there I guess.

          Having said that I attempted to OCR another sheet and I damned if I can see how, no button, no icon so I'm completely confused.

          Ah, go to "my scans", select one by tapping then you get the OCR icon at bottom right…ie it appears you have to scan, back out to home page then select my scans

          It will say Uninstall OCR Module underneath Install OCR Module.

          I thought it hadn't installed as it took forever and then just disappeared, but you must have to go out of the app, and then come back in.

        • Colombian on 26/04/2017 - 06:46

          @Spooked: yep, confirmed that mine are installed by going to uninstall OCR Module

    Very good. Will come in handy when taking pics of wiring diagrams on the fly in control cabinets

    Office lens is Microsoft's free scanner. It's pretty good.

    • alwayskeepinitreal on 26/04/2017 - 09:06

      I use Office Lens for recipients. It alloes me to very easily send them to OneNote for 'filing'. Highly recommended.

  • vinnycol on 26/04/2017 - 07:19

    I cant seem to find the install process for OCR modules…
    Anyone??

    • D6C1 on 26/04/2017 - 08:18

      Under settings, third icon on the bottom row panel.

    Thanks for the post. Only use my phone to take photos of documents very occasionally but this will make it all the more neater when I ever do.

    • Kevan2 on 26/04/2017 - 08:52

      Perhaps cc receipt before leaving shop.

  • bumblebeetuna on 26/04/2017 - 08:42

    Nice app, and OCR seems good, but it doesn't appear to make a searchable pdf. I'd be disappointed if I paid RRP.

    +1 for office lens, if only it took multiple pages

    • Hazzard on 26/04/2017 - 08:52

      Office lens does multiple pages. Once a picture is taken, it shows a "take more" button.

      • bumblebeetuna on 26/04/2017 - 09:03

        Not on Android. I believe iOS does.

  • Kevan2 on 26/04/2017 - 08:55

    Still showing price with line through it. Is that decoration or zero price ❔

      Zero price. That's how Google Play show it is temporarily discounted.

  • 87percent on 26/04/2017 - 09:03

    whats this app got that CamScanner doesn't?

    • D6C1 on 26/04/2017 - 09:04

      Install it and tell us. Happy to be swayed

    Are there any FREE multilingual OCR /scanning apps out there? camscanner is great but not free for non-English OCR :(

      This one does support non English OCR.

    Is this better than CamScanner (magic mode) ?
    I have used CamScanner for like ever…

    • Suspect420 on 26/04/2017 - 12:21

      Nope. Cam Scanner is better. I compared both.

  • Borg on 26/04/2017 - 11:29

    Agh, expired indeed,that didn't last long. One needs to be on the ball around here (ha)! Shame as was interested in trying that one and for FREE. A Bargain (assuming it was actually free for a few hours).

  • Suspect420 on 26/04/2017 - 12:20

    Lol would never pay for this

    Best app i have used is Cam Scanner!

    Heaps better than this and free all the time!!!!

      The free version contains watermarks and ads.

      • Suspect420 on 26/04/2017 - 18:01

        nope - no watermarks. I've been using it for years.

        Ads yes - but who cares.

        OzB has ads

        • Borg on 27/04/2017 - 06:19

          Sorry, perhaps this is an ad rather than watermark i.e. each scan/pdf created has "Scanned by Camscanner" on the bottom of the pages.

        • Suspect420 on 27/04/2017 - 15:56

          @Borg: Yes. Easily omitted.

          And to be fair if you have a need to use this it is because your in a rush and it isn't the most professional to use, watermarl or not. I would opt for an actualy high quality colour scanner for professional quality.

  • garybath on 26/04/2017 - 16:47

    Shame I missed this. Anyone know anything that does OCR for free? I only need English OCR.
