This looks like a great update! Is there a chance that the app could have an update to allow access to only certain photos and not the entire photo gallery on iOS? Right now it appears that if full access to the photo gallery is not provided on iOS, the app cannot import any images at all. I'd prefer not to allow access to my entire photo gallery and will otherwise be unable to use the import feature.
@khalidadil_ Great question and feature request. Thank you, Khalid Adil. First, we should admit that all processing is done on-device without an internet connection. You can check it in airplane mode. But our development team will consider your feature request, and if we would have more similar requests from FineScanner users, there is a chance that we will do it.
This looks like an awesome update! How long does it take to process and analyze your entire photo library using this autoMagical AI?
@maxime_vermeir Thank you :) It takes about 10-30 minutes for the first time. The total time of the entire gallery processing depends on the number of photos, as well as the generation of the phone.
Sounds nice! Can you tell me more about the AR measure feature and how to use it to scan documents?
@maria_gor Maria, thank you for your attention to this amazing FineScanner iOS feature. To measure your document using augmented reality, do the following:
1) On the “My Documents” screen, swipe left on the appropriate document and open “Properties”;
2) Select “Paper size”;
3) Tap “Measure in AR”;
4) Follow the instructions on your screen.
If the size of your document corresponds to one of the standard sizes (e.g. A4 or driver’s license), FineScanner will ask you whether you want to set the document to be treated as a document of that particular size. For documents of non-standard size, you can choose to save the detected size for later use. To do so, tap the detected document measurements and switch “Save to list” to “On”. Once that is done, specify a name for your new format, for example, “Flyer”.
I've used previous versions of this app and been pretty satisfied- what does this update improve upon?
@evan_johnson1 Evan, we appreciate your feedback about the previous version! With the new version you can search text on photos (just type a text containing on your doc into a Search field in the FineScanner gallery, and FS will find docs that have this text) and classifying your documents into types inside FineScanner gallary.
I only know of ABBYY as some seeming bloatware that came bundled with my ScanSnap. I can't tell if ScanSnap uses it, or it's an extra step I'm supposed to invoke, or what. (Anyone know?)
But more to the point… any chance this magic makes its way to the ScanSnap universe? It'd be great to just throw a bunch of docs into that capable little scanner and have them automatically categorized, OCRed, deskewed, rotated and whatever other magic ABBYY can bring.
@lee_fuhr Hi Lee, thank you for your question! We have a global partnership with Fujitsu to supply them with our text recognition technology. This is why Fujitsu ScanSnap scanners come bundled with our software.
You can learn more about it here: https://www.pfu.fujitsu.com/imag...
So, to answer your question, you can absolutely get your documents automatically OCRed using ScanSnap in combination with our software! Please use the ABBYY tech that comes with your scanner, and you will be able to achieve exactly that. The software that comes with your scanner won't be able to categorize your documents though, but we will consider adding this feature in the future. Please follow the link above for details on ABBYY FineReader for ScanSnap.
Have a wonderful day and let me know if there is anything else I can help with.
Wow what an update! Thanks ABBYY, I was really looking forward to this functionality. Can't believe what technologies are capable of nowadays...
@sonikoronova thank you for positive feedback. If you managed to try our new classification & search already, we would be happy to know more how it works on your device!?
What a great update. This tool is becoming ever more important for me in business and also personal use. Especially during the lockdown periods.
@srwills37 Thank you, Susanne, glad to hear the app has been helpful! Our goal is to make the lockdown and remote work less stressful
@tony_connell Tony, thank you. Yes, ABBYY OCR one of the most powerful and nowadays when we all work remotely FineScanner with recognition skill even more demanded than before.
Thanks to ABBYY FineScanner AI I found photos of my grandfather's poems that I took on my phone a year ago and forgot about them. I saved it on my computer now. I won't lose it.
