Mehr lesenTake your home office anywhere with Nextcloud Coherence for iOS: Text recognition for scanned files and more!
Last month, along with the iOS 14 launch, Nextcloud Coherence (Nextcloud 3.0) for iOS devices was made available.
Today we are bringing largely requested, important updates for Nextcloud Coherence: Text recognition for scanned files, and of course, many other (smaller) improvements!
Text recognition for scanned files: taking your home office anywhere!
One of the most used and appreciated features of the Nextcloud app for iOS devices is secure document scanning from within the app. Would you really need a scanning machine if you have a mobile app and a running Nextcloud instance you can access and use from a coffee shop, co-working space, a park, the balcony or the back seat of a car or a train?
With this feature, it is easier than ever to store and organize important documents on your cloud, then, when needed, access these from anywhere and securely share them with anyone you want. Secure document scanning’s UI enables you to easily do things for which you would have to use many more apps for getting the job done otherwise.
- Scan multipage documents
- Drag and drop pages in the right order before saving the document
- Rotate the scanned image before saving the document
- Export as PDF or image
- Choose quality settings for the export
- LOW: 72 DPI – 595 x 842 px
- MED: 150 DPI – 1240 x 1754 px
- HIGH: 200 DPI – 1654 x 2339 px
- Choose colour for the export
- Original
- Greyscale
- Black and white
All these features were brought to the users gradually and now we’ve brought new functionalities to get more things done:
- Enable Text recognition
- Export the document as an editable text file
- Ability to search, select and copy text from a scanned document
In combination with the new built-in PDF viewer (introduced last month with the Nextcloud Coherence 3.0 for iOS) you can:
- Scan a document with your Nextcloud app for iOS. Order the pages, rotate them if needed, save as original or black and white, choose between the quality settings and proceed to the following step.
- Enable Text recognition and save the file as PDF, in case you don’t want to edit it in the future.
- Open the PDF file:
- You will be able to open a multipage PDF file without downloading it on your device, search within the document for a word or phrase and get as a result a list all the pages of the document where that phrase is written
- You will be able to select the text in your document, copy it and even paste it in a text file or on a Nextcloud Talk conversation with a colleague for example.
Update to Nextcloud Coherence 3.0.2 if your phone hasn’t updated automatically, or download it from the App Store if you haven’t yet and feel free to make ‚anywhere‘ your home office!
