Point your camera at a page. Local Scan straightens what it sees, evens out the lighting and cleans up the text, so a photograph taken on a kitchen table comes back looking like a scan.
Press the shutter once per page and keep going, or bring in pictures you already took.
Drag the four corners to the edges of the page. A picture taken at an angle comes back square.
Local Scan works out how bright the paper is across the picture and lifts it to white, so the text reads clearly.
There is no account, no signup and no sync. Your pages are never uploaded, and the app keeps nothing of them: they live in its memory while you work and are gone when you close it. Privacy sets out exactly what is written down, which is your export settings and nothing else.
The scanner is free, with no limit and no watermark. The five features that read the words off your pages are Local Scan Pro, a one time $12.99 purchase in the app. Help explains which is which.
