Common questions

Is Polyscan free?
Yes. Every feature and every language is free, with no scan limit and no watermark. The free version shows ads.

How do I remove the ads?
Settings › Remove ads. It is a one-time purchase, not a subscription.

I bought “Remove ads” on another phone. How do I get it back?
Open Settings › Restore purchase while signed in with the same Apple ID (or Google account).

How do I scan?
Tap Scan and hold the phone over the page; the camera finds the edges and straightens the page. You can also import pictures from Photos or Files.

How do I add a language?
Settings › Text languages, then download the language. After that it works offline.

Why is some text wrong?

• Use good, even light and hold the phone flat over the page.
• Pick the right language (or languages) before reading the text.
• Printed text works best; handwriting is not read reliably.

Which formats can I share?
Searchable PDF, Word (.docx), plain text and images (.jpg).
