    Dear Norfello Oy,
    I’ve bought your application for my iPhone 3Gs “DocScanner” but when I tried to configure in the “setting” mode my WebDAV account I can’t do it. Would you please explain what I have to do, how I have to fill the “address” and the “name” and the “password”? Should I use the same account as my personal account on my mail box, for example on TISCALI?
    Thank uou

    • Hi Mario,

      To use WebDAV you will need a WebDAV account. WebDAV can be used to send files to remote server. For instance Mobile.me iDisk is WebDAV. If you have Mobile.me account you can use it.
      For example:
      If your mobile.me username is john1980 and password is password try this:

      address: http://idisk.mac.com/john1980
      name: john1980
      password: pass word
      description: My iDisk
      (Description is just a name visible in the user interface.)

      Hope this helps

    Hello,

    I tried to set up my mobile me access as indicated without any luck. It keeps saying resources not available or an error of some sort to that nature. Can you please advise? If I copy the link and paste it in Safari on my iphone it connects fine to idisk. But through the scanner it won’t reven identify that it exists. Furthermore the http:// with two back slashes are fine the first time. when you save the link and reenter the idisk configuration page, there is only one back slash and the other is gone.

    Thanks,

    James

      Hi James!
      Thank you for the feedback.

      We changed the iDisk configuration for the version 2.0.
      You no longer have to enter the “http://idisk.mac.com/username” – instead, you can leave the address field empty (The DocScanner™ will use the root folder).
      Please have a look in the renewed instructions page for more.

  6. Daniel says:

    Hi,
    Having purchased this I do not seem to be able to rotate documents during creation of a new scan.
    Where should I look to do this?

    Thank you

    • It is shameful that we do not have the feature yet. It will be added to next version.

    • Daniel says:

      Not shameful.. never be so hard on your efforts.

      You have added it and I am immensely pleased!

      If there is any chance of switching on a preconfigured default e-mail recipient; that would be an incredible plus – perhaps for a paid upgrade?

    You have given the option for custom page sizes which is an excellent addition. Can you add the option to set the pixel width and height to a custom size. I find that with business cards (3.5 inches wide by 2 inches high) the ideal pixel setting is 450×350.In version 3.0 I have to keep inserting this as a custom option rather than being able to set it in the custom paper size page and keep the predefined size. Please can you add this option? The main use is in putting cards into Evernote at 450×350 they fit the iphone screen are readable and limit the upload size to ensure it doesn’t take up too much server space.

    Hi ,

    I have just bought DocSacnner yesterday, is it possible to send the documents to my google docs directly or to synchronise ?

    There is a problem with the custom paper size option. When I put in 2.75″ (w) x 4.25″ (h), it accepts it, but when I leave that screen and return it has eliminated the fractional portion of the measurements (i.e., it shows 2.00 x 4.00). The result is a distorted image. I assume this is a bug that I hope will be fixed soon. My primary reason for buying this is to scan receipts, which are rarely full page in size.

    Thanks!

    This seems nice and OCR works surprisingly well so far. However I wished it would be a more straight forward process. Worse – I don’t see a way to forward just the scanned text results.

    If I convert and mail just a simple paragraph it creates a 1MB PDF document (that is searchable in google docs) whereas the text is maybe 100 words (=a few bytes).

    Please give an option to export just the OCR result. Thanks.

    I can’t hold the camera still. Every shot is blurred. Any suggestions?

    By the way – your manual is super… except that it’s missing !

  15. Ernst Gumrich says:

    Once I have it on my iphone, so far I found no way to delete a document. Is there none? With time the list of scanned documents will pile up.

  16. Dan says:

    Did I misunderstand the wifi feature? Can I transfer a document from my iphone to my mac via wifi? If so I have not been able to figure it out. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
