We have more and more needs to have our documents in digital format and it is becoming more and more annoying to have them only on paper. But not all of us have a scanner at home, and even if we have one, we may need to scan a document when we are away.
Luckily, in the Google Play Store we can find a wide variety of applications for Android that will allow us to scan documents, in a simple and simple way from our smartphone.
Apps to turn your Android into a scanner
CamScanner
This application stands out for being one of the ones that contributes the best quality to the digitization of your documents, in addition to some interesting extras.
So, for example, we can edit screenshots adjusting brightness or color, sorting scanned files by document type, or automatically uploading them to some of the most popular cloud storage services like Dropbox or Google Drive. We can also convert it to PDF format and use it as a fax, among other functions.
