The newest iScanner’s feature is designed to mimic the professional and clean look of documents scanned by stationary office devices. This is especially valuable for those who mostly rely on their smartphones to manage their diverse documentation.
iScanner, one of the leading apps in the document scanning and management segment, has launched its newest feature—the Office Filter, which makes mobile scans look as if they were taken by stationary scanners in a regular office environment. For small business owners, who often lack access to the bulky equipment or simply don’t have the space to place it, the feature will be especially useful. The effect of an authentically scanned document is achieved through adding signature artifacts, such as black dots and small lines, to a PDF file. As a result, documents gain a professional look.
The Office Filter was developed specifically to help small businesses appear more solid on the market. According to a survey conducted by iScanner before the feature’s development, businesses operating from a physical office with professional equipment are often viewed as more trustworthy. Besides, half of the interviewed small business owners are convinced that physical offices create a tangible value for clients. As a result, some businesses feel that offering those perfectly scanned documents enhanced with the AI filters of mobile applications isn’t what their clients expect. Most importantly, around 30% of the survey participants expressed their interest in a different filter that adds the effect of an authentically scanned document.
“The goal of our survey was to collect real-life feedback from small business owners. We discovered that some owners find it inconvenient to work with no physical offices. While remote work has become a new standard in the post-COVID years, and mobile apps have proven to be an efficient substitute for stationary office equipment, some clients still expect small businesses to operate from physical offices. When they find that there are no such spaces, they may label such remote businesses as less professional. Our team decided to address this new reality and offer iScanner users a tool to create an illusion of a document scanned by a traditional stationary scanner. We believe that the Office Filter will help businesses build client trust, allowing them to choose how their documents appear,” says Matt Svetlak, Product Director of iScanner.
The Office Filter is currently available on iOS devices to all users. This is an excellent addition to the already established AI-powered iScanner filters that can automatically erase fingers from scans or deblur and polish any documents for high-quality presentation.
