DocSmart not only transforms your iPhone into a portable scanner but as well as into a portable document management system.
It allows you to scan any kind of documents even multipage documents. The document is automatically detected, scanned, cleaned and the integrated text recognition (OCR) analyses your document very quickly.

The recognized text can be verified and if necessary corrected in a very simple way. At the end you will have a PDF file with integrated text, that is fully searchable in any operating system. You are able to mail the document, share it with other people via Airdrop or upload it to any cloud service installed on your device, such as Dropbox, Google Drive, One Drive or even Salesforce 1.

But the main difference to nearly every scan app in the market makes the integrated document management system. This means you are now able to archive your documents securely on your own device. The documents are archived as PDF files together with the recognized text.

You can tag your documents or make reminders notifying you if there is a task related to a document e.g. an invoice has to be paid or a contract has to be terminated or extended. As soon as the task is done you can mark it as completed.

Furthermore you can import PDF files from other apps, especially from the mail app and archive them as well.

(DocSmart runs on iPad2 and iPad3, but with limited scan results because of the built in camera. DocSmart is optimized for iPhone 5, 5s, 6 and 6 Plus)

Pros and cons of DocSmart | Scan - Manage - Archive - Import - Share Documents app for iPhone and iPad

DocSmart | Scan - Manage - Archive - Import - Share Documents app good for

Used this app für some weeks now and wont miss it. The scan quality is excellent, the text recognition works good and is very fast. Can store my documents on my device and the app reminds me if there is something to do. Very easy to use.
Not mentioned here, but I can also save my email attachments in the local repository. Compared to any other scan apps this one is very easy to use and the integrated user guide gives you an overview in just minutes. Text recognition works for other languages as well, not just english. Perfect solution for my job and for personal use. Makes my iPhone much more useful.

Some bad moments

Bought the app for the promised fast text recognition but that app does not deliver. I suggest you stick to evernote which is the best scanning app i ve tried so far and its not even its main feature. Dont buy docsmart, find yourself a free app at least you cant complain if its only half as good as a paid one !
