Now your phone can scan documents directly to the cloud with Box Capture
Last fall, Box debuted its Capture app to let iPhone users upload photos directly to the cloud, and on Thursday the company added the feature most frequently requested ever since: document scanning.
Previously, Box users had to manually scan and email attached documents to share them with other people. Now, users of Box Capture can scan a document with their iPhone's camera and then share and collaborate on it just as they would with any other document on Box.
Users begin by selecting "scan mode" in Box Capture; the app will automatically detect a document and scan its text, identifying the document's edges and applying cropping, contrast and other editing features. Users can then manually crop, rotate and re-size the document or adjust shading as needed before saving it as a PDF file for sharing and collaboration via the cloud.
