DownloadWhat is the DocScan app?
DocScan is a mobile app that helps you take high-quality pictures of books, newspapers, manuscripts, and any other type of document. It is available for both Android and iOS and is the ideal complement for our ScanTent. DocScan recognises when you turn the page of a book and automatically takes a photo, making it possible to scan whole books quickly without needing to have three hands.
