How do I get the perfect scanned results?
Find a flat desktop, bed or any other flat place. It is best to find a well-lit area with no shadows on the documents to be scanned. Make sure the full image could be seen in your screen, so that the edges can be automatically detected.
Of course, if you could not find this kind of place or you are on-the-go, we can take care of everything with our intuitive app. It may not be as perfect as with the optimal conditions, but it gets better with each update, we promise!
