Feature Mind Map

Below is a mind map I created of basic Genius Scan features. The number sequence indicates the order to create (1), edit (2), and filter (3) a scan. The final step is to export (4) the scan, either as a PDF or jpeg (I use Google Keep for conversion to text).

Demo

For the video below, I scanned the cover of Story Secrets from Scripture, with export to my photo library.

Genius Scan vs ?

Apple’s iCloud and DropBox both have embedded scanning capabilities. However, I prefer Genius Scan because it seamlessly integrates both PDF and JPEG exporting.

Genius Scan is one of my essential apps.
