Scan handwritten words into digital text.

The new Digitize tool lets you turn handwritten notes and whiteboards into editable, searchable documents that look digitally created. Currently available in beta.

6 WAYS TO USE THE ADOBE SCANNER APP

1) Save time with a fast document scanner app: Use High-speed scan to bulk scan documents and turn stacks into PDFs in seconds.

2) Make a PDF with your phone: Convert paper documents or printed photos into PDFs or JPEGs with the mobile PDF converter and photo scanner app.

3) Ask AI Assistant to pull the key points from any scan, get follow-up answers or draft emails, reports, and next steps from your scan.

4) Use Generative summary: One tap pulls the key points from any scan, so you can find what matters and summarize your docs in a tap with AI.

5) Turn images to text: Use the image-to-text feature in the scanner to make words searchable and editable with OCR.

6) Scan anything: Receipts, IDs, notes, recipes, photos, business cards, whiteboards – this document scanner, photo scanner, and PDF maker gives you files you can work with on your phone, tablet, or computer.

    Hi there! Thanks for your feedback. Adobe Scan optimizes file size for sharing, but we'd love to investigate if you're noticing unusually small or compressed PDFs. Could you please share a screen recording of the workflow with our experts here: https://adobe.ly/adobescancommunity? Thanks! ^SS

    Trash... They try to force you to get the premium version after you end editing you file, if you don't, you won't be able to save it... Shame on you
