Mobile document scanning apps


Credit: LifeHacker

Want to reduce the amount of paper in your life? Your smartphone camera, with suitable software, can not only scan, but correct, enhance, & store locally, or in the cloud. And you may already have the software: as you can see from the image above, Google Drive provides a scanning function in Android. Evernote does something similar in iOS.
