Hi everyone, We are very proud to be on Product Hunt today and present the new version of our flagship mobile app – FineScanner AI. A big thank you to @chrismessina for hunting us! Why is it called FineScanner AI? We believe that artificial intelligence in mobile applications for productivity has excellent potential. Our proprietary neural network-based technology implemented in FineScanner AI simplifies and speeds up the workflow as it instantly finds photos of documents in the gallery. No matter how many pictures of cats and sunsets you have on your phone, FineScanner AI will only suggest images suitable for recognition. Once the right scan is located, you can optimize it for viewing and printing, recognize and edit the text, convert and share the document via email, messaging or cloud services. The app also received offline text recognition. Now Android and iOS users can extract and edit the text in their scans without an Internet connection. Offline recognition is perfect for travelers and those who work with sensitive documents, while online OCR preserves the original layout and allows to convert the image into 12 popular formats. The technology works with 193 languages online and 63 offline. We call FineScanner AI an intelligent capture assistant as it seamlessly automates paperwork on a mobile device. The app has been featured by Business Insider, PCMag, TechRadar, and Lifehacker. We absolutely love the Product Hunt community! That is why we have prepared for each of you a free premium subscription to ABBYY FineScanner AI for 1 month. To activate the promo code, please follow this link on your mobile device (iOS or Android): https://promo.abbyy.com/fsph.html We would be very grateful for your support, comments, and questions! Have a fantastic day, guys!

Anna Koltsova
Maker

If a document contains text in multiple languages, will the app correctly digitize it?

Just the best out there!

Pros:

The new AI to find documents you’ve taken pictures of, tucked away in your photo library is just awesome.

Cons:

None

I've been using FineScanner for a while, but they launched it with a new feature! Now in just a few seconds you can see all documents from your camera roll and use them for scanning

Pros:

It works literally like magic

Cons:

No cons for me

Alexander Karpin
Great app, I've been spending a lot of time trying to find a scanner near me, but after I've installed it, I can scan on the go.

@alexnerru thank you for the nice words, Alexander!
Ivan Shafran

Nice to see FineScanner is getting better every update.

Pros:

Offline OCR is useful for scanning and sending text to colleagues. Must have for people who travel a lot and suffer from lousy internet.

Cons:

No night mode

Niiice! Can I use Siri with FineScanner?
maria mitkevich
@anikiforov Hi Andrew! Yes! FineScanner AI supports Siri Shortcuts, and you can ask Siri to open scans without launching the app! Just create a shortcut in FineScanner AI beforehand. Please read the related article on our blog: http://mobileblog.abbyy.com/en/2...
Maria Goryushkina
Hi, can you tell me more about your neural network-based technology?
maria mitkevich
@maria_gor Hi! ABBYY Neural Network runs through the photos in the gallery and detects images with text that can be turned into scans. It works on-device even in the airplane mode :) It took almost a year to create and train the network, and we are genuinely proud of it :) Here is the article from our blog where you can read more about Neural Network and new OCR in FineScanner AI: http://mobileblog.abbyy.com/en/2...

Evgeniya Zaslavskaya
Hi all! How long does it take to extract text from one page?
Igor Akimov
Maker
@evgeniya_zaslavskaya Hi Evgeniya! Thanks for the question. If you use Offline OCR, it will take a fraction of a second. Online Conversion usually takes 10-30 seconds per page, depenping on the quality of internet.
Alexandra Shmelkina
Can I create a new document in the app and convert it to PDF?
Anna Koltsova
Maker
@alexandra_shmelkina1 thank you for the question. Yes, of course you can create new scan not only from images in your gallery, but also using FineScanner camera. Just make a photo and FineScanner will remove extra background, improve contract and perspective. After that you can share it in image-only PDF. If you then will send it to online OCR, you can also create searchable PDF.
maria mitkevich
@alexandra_shmelkina1 Hi Alexandra! This is a tricky question :) Any document kept in the app can be converted to PDF, but first, you need to add it either by taking a photo or upload it from the gallery.
Nina Blinova
is there an image editor? can I apply a filter to a picture so it would look like a scan, for instance?
maria mitkevich
@nina_blinova Hi Nina! Yes, you can apply filters (colorful, back and white, grayscale). You will get the same result as if you were using a desktop scanner.
Julia Petryk
Congrats on the launch! How is FineScanner different from other scanning apps?
Anna Koltsova

@ua_philka FineScanner is the only one app on the mobile market which includes combination of recognition technologies: offline OCR for fast recognition in plain text in 63 langauges, and online OCR if you need to save formatting of your scans (headers, tables, etc) in 193 languages and convertion into 12 formats, including Word, Excel, PPT, Searchable PDF and more.
