Features
Automatically detects the size of the document being scanned. No need to manually set the size each time you scan documents of different sizes. Useful for quickly scanning mixed-size documents like receipts and business cards.
This light box does not have automatic document size detection. Users must manually adjust the scanning area using the app. This can be time-consuming and may require some trial and error to get the correct settings.
Simultaneously scans both sides of a document in a single pass. Efficiently digitizes double-sided documents such as contracts and reports. Significantly reduces scanning time.
This light box does not support double-sided scanning. It is designed for single-sided slides and negatives only. If you need to scan double-sided documents, this is not the right tool.
Automatically determines whether to scan a document in color or monochrome based on its content. No need to manually switch settings for documents containing both color and black-and-white elements. Streamlines the scanning process.
This light box does not have automatic color/monochrome switching. Users must manually select the appropriate mode in the app. This requires some understanding of the media being scanned.
Enhances the clarity of text in scanned images, making it easier to read. Improves the legibility of documents with faint or unclear text. Beneficial for archiving old or low-quality documents.
This light box does not include a text enhancement function. The clarity of text in scanned images will depend on the quality of the original media and the phone's camera. Consider using a dedicated text scanning app for better results.
Automatically corrects skewing and distortion in scanned images. Produces clean, professional-looking scans even if the original document is slightly misaligned. Saves time by eliminating the need for manual adjustments.
This light box does not offer automatic image correction. Users must rely on the app's editing tools or external software to correct skewing and distortion. This requires some manual effort and may not produce perfect results.
Allows scanned documents to be directly uploaded to cloud storage services like Google Drive or Dropbox. Enables easy access to scanned documents from anywhere. Convenient for sharing documents with others or backing them up.
This light box does not support direct uploading to cloud storage services. Users must save the scanned images to their phone and then manually upload them to the cloud. This is a minor inconvenience but may be a concern for some users.
