6 Benefits of Mobile Scan Apps

It connects remote employees with the home office and each other. Mobile scan can help employees who are working far from each other feel like they’re just a cubicle away from coworkers.

Many employees work from home at least part of the work week, and some work remotely on a daily basis, or while on the road. As long as there is scan hardware and Wi-Fi where the employee is – even if it’s in a co-working space or hotel business center – another colleague can send the employee a document, and the employee can print and mark it up before scanning it and sending it back to their colleague. 

It offers higher quality than taking a photo. Taking a photo of something and sending it via text or email from a mobile device is perfectly acceptable in many situations, but a business environment often demands both quality and speed. A more formal document usually doesn’t look as good in photo form than an actual scanned image. 

With mobile scan, a business user instead can connect their phone or tablet to scanners and multi-function printers on the same Wi-Fi network and then use their device to scan, adjust settings, organize and rename the scan before sending it to colleagues. It’s just as fast as a photo, but much better quality.

Mobile Scan Meeting the Demand

Mobile scanning is more important now than ever, and research shows the increasing demand for digital document scanning and sharing on mobile devices. With the enhanced usability of archived documents, mobile scanning increases the efficiency of the process while also enabling new collaborative and remote use cases.

Mobile scan apps make things easier for business users as well as consumers, for tasks like contract management, expense reports, couponing, and shopping via reward apps that require users to scan a receipt.

Users are likely to find the most convenience and functionality from apps that fall under a universal mobile scan standard, because all major scanner manufacturers have contributed to ensuring the app works with their products. Additionally, with the vendor agnosticism of a universal standard, users won’t have to download multiple apps for multiple scanners, which can be a hassle and eat up storage and screen icon space on a mobile device.

With the latest mobile scan apps supporting new use cases every day, businesses and consumers have new ways to be productive and efficient from their preferred mobile device, managing and sending content from anywhere and everywhere.

phone app vs hand held scanner

If you're more interested in scanning as a mild interest such as being able to tune into to action as soon as you see it on the news, than an app is probably better for you. Cons about scanning is that it is harder to understand and use when compared to a super easy scanner app. It's almost never just plug-and-play, you need to work with it some to get the best performance you can with the equipment. It also might be illegal to have in your state, depending on local laws. Most places don't have a law against it, but there are a few select places that require you to have amateur radio license to have a scanner in your vehicle and such.

In the end, you are probably more likely to have your phone on you more often than a scanner. I know that in my case, I have a scanner that can monitor many things locally and that I have the choice of online feeds for things not local or for low priority monitoring.

If you are really interested in scanning as a hobby and not just a general interest, then a handheld will serve you better than an app. All scanner apps get their audio from Broadcastify one way or another. This means that if someone takes the feed offline (or Broadcastify has a server error), then it is just down and there's not much you can do about it (mad/sad posts don't usually solve it eg. 1 3 ). Besides what has already been noted, another pro is that the scanner can also pick up things that aren't generally provided online as a feed or on an app (per policy), and there is a lot that is not broadcasted online. A very mild pro to tag onto the end is no delay. Internet/data takes time to transfer.If you're more interested in scanning as a mild interest such as being able to tune into to action as soon as you see it on the news, than an app is probably better for you.
