Top 5 camscanner alternatives and indian document scanning apps

The importance of mobile document scanning apps has increased exponentially, hence some apps got good growth and worldwide recognition , but at one point of time they ignored many important things including user data privacy and security. After that we found need for developing our own Document Scanning app and we did it. But After trying a lot of apps i found very few apps are able to provide the desired quality and services, Below i will try to sort apps in terms of quality and services and will try to suggest some Indian document scanning apps to use.

Why Document Scanning apps matters so much

To understand this let go back to 2004 when gmail was launched, it was probably the starting year of modern web world, it was not a big thing at that time, Yahoo was there and others as well. But what happened after that, gmail’s powerful response system and security almost replaced fax machines. Now a days we barely use faxes for our work.

So these document scanning is going to do the same thing with printers and scanning machines. In last year, document sharing by these app grew 27.8% yoy in US only. Some of big apps are growing 100% yoy.

Which app to choose in such big pool?

Let me tell you one thing, you can’t have wonderful experience with only one single app, every app is Unique in it’s own way. Like Adobe’s book creating feature, Camscanner’s word detection and Dotscanner’s fast and easy to use process, on an average Dotscanner scan & convert image into pdf within 20 seconds. In camscanner it is around 37 Seconds and in Adobe it is around 42 Seconds. So for best experience i would recommend you to use multiple apps. Like you scan your documents or images with Dotscanner, Attach them together with adobe scan and finally share with Camscanner. But i will be talking only about indian apps, so here is the list.

1. DotScanner :- Similar to camscanner, cloud data, Easy-to-Use, Fast scanning, AI powered word detection and Auto-edge cropping are some awesome features of Dotscanner which makes it a great app, however there are some features which are still not fully usable like multi-page scanning, and group sharing. But still it’s a great app. Here’s the link for the app
2. Document Scanner :- Comprable to Adobescan, got 10m Downloads, provides a genuine experience, ads are a serious issue.
3. Kaagaz Scanner :- Easy-to-Use, multi-page scanning, easy to share features are great with no ads. monochromic feature is not available which is very saddening.
4. Doc Scanner :- Cloud data, Word Count and much similar to Document Scanner but still a great app. Too many ads are an issue
5. Bharat Scanner :- Bharat Scanner or Bharatscanner is an alternative of Cam Scanner app that is used to scan documents easily using your mobile phones.

There’s one thing common in all of these apps and that is they are not perfect, it is their first attempt and instead of using other apps, we should take one step forward to support them, not just to install these apps but let others also know that we have something great, something our own.
