Doc­Scan­ner 2.0 will be released in octo­ber. There will be many new fea­tures and improve­ments in usability.

To give some taste we are post­ing these cou­ple of before and after pics with the new white bal­ance algorithm.

The first image is an orig­i­nal with­out any cor­rec­tions. And the lat­ter is the end result after fol­low­ing steps Doc­Scan­ner makes automatically:

1. Crop­ping the image
2. Cor­rect­ing per­pec­tive (key­stone) — Doc­Scan­ner also detect paper size auto­mat­i­cally. In this case: letter
3. White bal­ance cor­rect­ing and light normalization

There will be a pos­si­bil­ity to select how aggres­sive the algo­rithm is. The sharp­en­ing of image will a selec­table option as well.

Is there some­thing spe­cific you have in mind how the Doc­Scan­ner could be improved? We just added a pos­si­bil­ity to sug­gest new fea­tures for the Doc­Scan­ner. You can also vote for the exist­ing features.

Doc­Scan­ner 1.8.2 is now avail­able in the iPhone App Store (iTunes Link).

This new ver­sion adds fol­low­ing new features:

• Zoom in/out saved docs with 2 fin­ger ges­ture (pre­vi­ously only in a sin­gle page scan­ning mode)
• Undo sup­port aka “back but­ton”: requires more mem­ory, may some­times crash the app (this exper­i­men­tal fea­ture can be acti­vated under settings)
• Finnish i18n

There is also minor bug fix:
User can now scan pages from album when adding pages to doc­u­ment import option copies an image with­out edge detection/contrast improvement.

Doc­Scan­ner 1.8.1 is now released. There was no announce­ment of 1.8 here so will cover both:

• Ver­sion 1.8 added sup­port for the iDisk and other Web­DAV services.
• In 1.8.1 “Doc­u­ments” menu is slightly upgraded for bet­ter usability.
• Both updates had some minor usabil­ity improvements.

Cur­rently we are fix­ing cou­ple of minor bugs. The 1.8.2 ver­sion will be out shortly. After this we will start to work with 2.0 release. 2.0 will focus to scanned image qual­ity and add new & improved algo­rithms. 2.0 will be out in sep­tem­ber. We will also most likely add trans­la­tions in Ger­man, Japan­ese, Span­ish, French and Ital­ian to ver­sion 2.0.

We would like to give big thanks to all Doc­Scan­ner users! Doc­Scan­ner is now in top 10 paid busi­ness apps in most of the coun­tries in the world!

We just released Doc­Scan­ner 1.6.1 for the iPhone. The focus of this release was in per­for­mance. We man­aged to reduce time of the edge detec­tion up to 50%. Doc­Scan­ner is avail­able in the iTunes App Store (iTunes link)

We are happy to announce that Doc­Scan­ner S60 is now avail­able in the Nokia OVI Store. Doc­Scan­ner S60 enables you to scan any doc­u­ment to your phone and save it as a PDF-file or just send it with e-mail — all in just a few sec­onds. No crop­ping or rotat­ing needed, Doc­Scan­ner does it for you auto­mat­i­cally! All you need to do, is to take a photo of any doc­u­ment with the appli­ca­tion. As long as the back­round is darker than the doc­u­ment, the Doc­Scan­ner will under­stand the edges of the doc­u­ment. After the photo has been taken, the appli­ca­tion will crop, rotate and cor­rect the per­spec­tive for you.

Doc­Scan­ner 1.6 for the iPhone is now released (Link to App Store). This new ver­sion add sup­port to new iPhone OS 3.0 fea­ture “In App Mail” mak­ing it fully inte­grated to Apples native Mail App. There is also now sup­port for cre­at­ing mul­ti­page doc­u­ments. You can use cam­era to scan mul­ti­page doc­u­ments or add pages from the Cam­era roll.

Doc­Scan­ner 1.4 was released today in the iPhone App Store. This new ver­sions adds auto­matic & man­ual adjust­ments to light and con­trast, improved edge detec­tion algo­rithm and some minor bug fixes with email fea­ture. We also updated docscannerapp.com and it now includes more infor­ma­tion about email set­tings and more screenshots.

We will be work­ing hard with Doc­Scan­ner in the near future too, the next things we will imple­ment will include some new fea­tures of iPhone OS 3.0 API, such as in app mail. Many of there improve­ments would be about over­all qual­ity and usabil­ity. Biggest plans we have about new fea­tures would be sup­port for print­ing with Boun­jour and pos­si­bil­ity to order prints to any address at the world; maybe you have heard about our Pos­tita online mail­ing service.

The first cou­ple of weeks have been great with the sales we’ve been num­ber 3 to 50 of paid busi­ness apps in Euro­pean and US App Stores. Thank you all for this and stay tuned!

After weeks of wait­ing I am happy to tell you that Norfello’s Doc­Scan­ner for the iPhone is finally out. Doc­Scan­ner turns your iPhone into a scan­ner. You can scan doc­u­ment by tak­ing a pic­ture of it. Doc­Scan­ner auto­mat­i­cally crops every­thing else than your doc­u­ment out of the pic­ture. It knows your paper size auto­mat­i­cally and it cor­rects the key­stone of the document.
