Brightness and contrast sliders
In the early versions users had to press a button to update the adjustemts with the sliders, but now the sliders work in realtime and you can see the results as you make adjustments.

Paper size adjustment
This bugfix enables users adjust what the function actually was ment for. Before this, the adjustment was overridden and the result wasn’t correct.

Google Docs and the Dropbox .pdf extension
There has been reported issues with this one, but now the documents will have the .pdf extension and opens as a pdf -file.

- Support for Google Docs
- Improved Dropbox support
- iOS4 compatibility and improvements
- AutoShoot – DocScanner finds the documents in the camera in real time and shoots the image when iPhone is stable and document is in the finder.
- Possibility to alter scanning options in the middle of the scanning process.
- Original photos are saved for later editing
- Smaller JPG and PDF files
- Improvements with OCR
- PDF tags
- Improvements in page ordering user experience

There is three variations, of how you can delete a document:

1. Tap the “edit” -button on the documents view

• Tap the red button on the left next to a document
• Tap the “Delete” -button on the right side

2. Swipe over a document on the documents view

• Tap the “Delete” -button on the right side

3. Drag a page to the trashcan at the Copy/reorder -view

You can rotate the document with a rotating two-finger gesture at the phase, when the document edges are defined.

New & improved features:

• Copy OCR’d text to clipboard
• Copy pages between documents
• Reorder pages
• Synchronize multiple documents to various services
• Enhanced iDisk setup
• Resize documents
• Send individual pages
• Major UI improvements
• Connect to Evernote via Evernote API
• Support for tagging documents

Our goal was to make scanned PDFs searchable, yet printable. The problem with OCR using iPhone’s camera is the lack of quality. For this reason we ended up hiding OCR data behind the scanned image. In future versions we will improve the quality and add possibilities to scan documents for editing. Maybe we will integrate with some of the popular office apps like Documents to Go® or Quickoffice at that point.

Other news features are:

• Two finger gesture for rotating pages
• Untitled documents are automatically named using OCR data

What’s next

DocScanner is all the time under active development and we are usually updating the app once in month. Currently we are working with following new features.

Dropbox integration, syncing capabilities, tags & folders

In near future the spooler feature of DocScanner will have possibility sync documents to supported services. This means that syncing all documents to iDisk, WebDAV, Evernote, Email or Dropbox will be easy.

As we will add features for organizing Documents with tags and folders it would be also possible to sync only documents in some folder or with some tag. For example you can:

1. Tag all your receipts with a tag receipt
2. Create sync rule for sending all documents with tag receipt to pre-defined email
3. Every time you sync all the new scans with the tag will be automatically sent.

This should make managing e.g. you corporate credit card purchases bit more automatic.

Order pages, Annotate documents

Another thing we are exited about is the possibility to edit documents. Soon DocScanner will have all new interface capable of ordering pages, combining documents and annotating PDFs. Since ordering pages is pretty self-described lets focus to annotating PDFs.

Quite usual use case is that someone gives you a paper form and asks you to fill the form, then email it. Another variation of the same case is that you get and email containing a PDF and you have to sign it, then email. In near future DocScanner will be capable of handling these both use cases.

The new annotating feature lets you add text fields, free drawings and signatures to documents. To make this really usable we will add a way to import email attachment PDFs as well. In the beginning we will support only Gmail. This is due the fact that there is no possibility for third party applications to read emails directly from the iPhone’s Mail App.

New features & improvements:

• Documents searchable by name
