4 scanning apps for easily digitizing your documents

Every productivity strategy needs a solution for digitizing paper documents. Fortunately, that doesn't necessarily require you to plunk down hundreds of dollars on a desktop scanner. All you need to unlock them is the right app. The best scanning apps provide everything you need to manage your digital-document workflow: editing tools to clean up the scanned images, optical character recognition (OCR) so you can edit and search document text, and the ability to upload scans to your favorite note-taking app or cloud storage for anywhere access. You can invite friends and colleagues to comment on your scans in CamScanner.
