Plenty of Uses

Perhaps you don't think you have much use for a scanner or maybe you don't need one for work and doubt you'd use it in your everyday life. What's surprising about the Pocket Scanner app is how often it can come in handy. Use this app to scan receipts, important documents, flyers, posters, business cards, notes, a check, a chalkboard, or whatever you like. And there's no need to worry if it's multiple pages because the app is able to support more than one page. All your scans can be shared by Dropbox, email, Box, GoogleDocs, Mydisk.se, SugarSync, and FTP/WebDAV.
