Back in the day, whenever you want to scan a page or a document, you had to use scanners. Apart from this, you have to use those large photocopier machines for making a copy of a page. This thing has changed because of smartphones. Due to the presence of high-end cameras on these devices, you can scan the documents and can make digitize copy. There are apps available on Google PlayStore and CamScanner is one of them.
CamScanner:
INTSIG Information Co., Ltd has developed CamScanner so that you don’t have to go out and scan the documents. If you have a smartphone then you can install the app and can do the processes.
