Ios: Feature request: Scanning documents with camera (like e.g. DropBox)

[laberkeks]

It would be a great full feature if it would be possible scanning documents with the iOS app like e.g. with the Dropbox app

The Scanbot app works! Setup for Owncloud on the free version to sync via WebDAV; here is an article on it.

Scanbot is not really working for me, because I'm using more then one Nextcloud Servers.
And it's not possible to select the destination for each file.

Additional webdav accounts is a pro feature afaik... costs 4.99 iirc

And it's not possible to select the destination for each file.

Yes it is.

You can scan from the iOS Notes app and upload to Nextcloud from there...

@laberkeks I submitted a request for Scanbot to support multiple owncloud amd webdav accounts. Please add your voice here to make it higher priority.

thanks for using Scanbot and reaching out to us. Unfortunately adding multiple accounts at once is not possible yet. I will put this on our feature request list and suggest it to our developers in the next meeting. Note that we try to work this list from top to bottom sorted by number of request, so I can't guarantee you, that we will add this feature anytime soon.

Hello @marinofaggiana
The scanning feature sounds very interesting and I gave it a try.

My first notes:
The workflow was not clear for me.
After first launch I had a close sign, but no image.
The plus icon is just there, no header what the top area is.
PDF as export is nice, can we have jpg as well?

[marinofaggiana]

@rakekniven do you use iOS 11 or more ?

[rakekniven]

Yes, I have 11.4.1

problem of permission to Photo-camera access ?

[rakekniven]

Hooray, great video.
Now I got it.

Already adapted german translation.
Please think of iPhone SE users.

"Drag below the images for make your PDF document" is too big.
Proposal:
"Drag images down for PDF creation"

[rakekniven]

I have been prompted to grant access and allowed it for sure.

[marinofaggiana]

ok !! thanks now I change it in "Drag images down for PDF creation"

[marinofaggiana]

do you not view a camera image ?

[rakekniven]

Sorry, it works. Your video helped.

After first launch I had a close sign, but no image.

The close sign has been there and closing was not possible. I even did not any scan.

[rakekniven]

Currently I am using another app to scan.
Result as jpg would be really, really great. I am digital boy since many years and more than 5k of scanned documents as jpg.

[marinofaggiana]

yes, this option in in build and the password for protect PDF, next build.

Note Image PNG or JPG is possible only for a single page

[rakekniven]

Great, every sunday I digitize some docs. As soon as jpg will be possible I will happily use this app to do this and provide feedback for sure.
