iScanner Unveils AI-Driven Edge Repair Feature for Flawless Scanning

In an exciting development for small business owners and remote workers, iScanner has announced the launch of its groundbreaking Edge Repair feature. This innovation addresses a common headache—the issues that arise when scanning documents with stapled edges or other imperfections. With this new feature, document scanning becomes a smoother, more efficient process, bringing a much-needed solution to everyday challenges.

These days, having the ability to manage documents effectively is essential. The award-winning app iScanner, developed by BP Mobile (part of the AIBY Group), has continually evolved to meet user needs. With the launch of Edge Repair, users can now make their scans look crisp and professional. This new capability leverages an on-device neural network to detect imperfections at the corners of documents—whether they are folded, obscured by fingers or objects, or slightly askew.

The remarkable aspect of this technology is how it intelligently reconstructs missing or damaged areas at the pixel level. This meticulous process results in a clean, complete scan every single time, ensuring that even documents in poor condition can be transformed into perfect representations.

Matt Svetlak, the Product Director at iScanner, shared insights about what prompted the creation of the Edge Repair feature. “To develop the Edge Repair feature, iScanner engineers trained an AI model on over 100,000 images. Thanks to that, the model ensures users' documents always look sharp and professional, no matter the condition they're captured in,” he stated. This reflects the app's commitment to constantly evolving and integrating user feedback into their design philosophy.

User research revealed a significant pain point: many users often resort to scanning stapled pages one at a time or even resorting to cutting off stapled edges with scissors. Recognizing these challenges led to the development of an AI solution that streamlines document scanning, making it hassle-free.

Currently, the Edge Repair feature is available for iOS users, with plans for an Android release on the horizon. A user’s guide is also accessible on the iScanner website to ensure smooth usage. The iScanner app has been a pioneer in the mobile document scanning space since its inception in 2015. Over the years, it has amassed a user base of more than 125 million globally, proving its worth in various scenarios—be it in challenging lighting conditions or with crumpled documents. Its exceptional quality has earned accolades from renowned organizations, including the Webby and Lovie Awards.

As iScanner approaches its tenth anniversary, the application continues to evolve, adding features that allow users to convert scans into different formats, edit documents, sign them electronically, and turn images into editable and searchable files.

The company is not just about features; it prioritizes user security as well. The app incorporates advanced security features to ensure documents are stored safely and securely. iScanner also introduces innovative AI-driven features, including the ability to erase fingers from scans, enhance clarity through deblurring, and polish documents with ease.

In summary, iScanner's Edge Repair feature epitomizes the company's commitment to innovating through technology, making document management easier for everyone. With continued advancements in AI, iScanner is poised to redefine the boundaries of document scanning in today's digital landscape.
