I am totally psyched with useful tools, especially those that come in the form of mobile apps. As someone who is constantly on the go, whether it be out in the field, in the office or at home, I have come to rely on two apps that help me save time, be efficient and reduce my personal paper waste. These apps are TurboScan by Piksoft Inc. and PDF Expert by Readdle.
TurboScan allows me to digitize paper documents on the spot. This app does an amazing job of producing quality 'scanned' documents and is super easy to use. Place your document on any surface, choose Camera, snap a shot of your document and TurboScan does the rest. Options to handle a scanned document include black/white, color and photo image processing with a handful of brightness options, scan multiple pages to a single document, email the document as a PDF, JPEG or PNG or quickly email yourself with just a few taps using the "Email to myself" feature. Some of you may ask, "Why don't you just take a picture of the document?" My response is, the image processing by TurboScan is phenomenal and beats any color photograph for capturing paper documents. Try it out, you won't be disappointed.
