Scanbot, the popular PDF and QR code scanner, has received an update bringing the app to version 3.1.1 and introducing a few new features for basic and Pro users alike.
When scanning a document, a brand new black and white filter can be used to achieve more accurate scans that preserve more structure from images. When reading a PDF file, you can now swipe to go back.
Finally, the app now bundles a ‘Get Started’ document to help get users up to speed and a few nice-to-haves for Pro users listed after the break.
If you upgrade to Scanbot Pro via a one-time $2.99 In-App Purchase, you’ll enjoy stronger security as Scanbot will blur its thumbnail in the iOS task switcher.
Optical character recognition (OCR) is better optimized for vertical scripted and right-to-left scripted languages and you’ll also notice a slightly revamped interface for OCR text in the document.
