Scanners are slow. Printers are dramatic. And neither is easy to use when you’re in a rush. So we, the StackCommerce deals team, tested an app that claims to do it all—scanning, signing, saving, and even faxing documents—right from your phone.  After one week, we forgot any other methods e xisted. The SwiftScan document scanner and PDF editor app swept us off our feet. Plus, this weekend only, you can save an extra $18 on a lifetime subscription to the iOS and Android apps with code TAKE30 at checkout, dropping the price from $59.99 to $41.99. What we love about SwiftScan We scanned everything from receipts to handwritten notes, and the app delivered crisp, professional-looking PDFs each time. The auto-capture feature was a game-changer—just point your smartphone camera at the page, and SwiftScan handles the rest, automatically cropping and optimizing the image.  The mobile PDF editing tools were another highlight. Being able to annotate, sign, and even redact documents right on our phones saved us so much time. We found ourselves using it for everything from signing contracts on the go to highlighting key points in meeting notes.  And when it came to sharing, the one-tap export to email and cloud services like Google Drive and Dropbox made sending files a breeze. We even tried the fax feature, and it worked flawlessly for times when we needed an old-school sharing method. But what really made SwiftScan indispensable was the OCR technology. It’s already a major convenience digitizing paper documents and receipts, but being able to search for a specific date, word, or passage can help you stay even more organized. You have less than 48 hours left to get a SwiftScan lifetime subscription for $41.99 with code TAKE30 at checkout (reg. $59.99).
