Convert, compress and store your documents in the Cloud!
With IRISCloud™ OCR, you can capture images directly on your iPhone® and iPad® and convert them into fully editable text documents and hyper-compressed PDF documents. You can also import existing image PDFs and other images from the Photo library and process them. You can store the result of this conversion into your account on the main cloud storage providers suck as DropBox or Google Drive.
Thanks to IRISCloud™ OCR you turn your iPhone® and iPad® into a high-quality document recognition device and avoid tedious retyping.
IRISCloud™ OCR uses I.R.I.S. awarded OCR engine to convert and hyper-compress your documents. The PDFs you create with IRISCloud™ OCR can be up to 50 times smaller than their original images, while maintaining the image quality. This makes them ideal to share via mail or in Cloud applications.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: please note that this app is intended to be used free of charge by customers of Canon Europe Limited only, and that its not possible for home users to request an account for this service.
How does it work?
1. Log in to IRISCloud™ OCR.
2. Select the desired Cloud provider (Google Drive) and possibly a folder in your account, or enter an e-mail address where the converted documents will be sent. On first usage, you will have to log into that Cloud account.
3. Select the language of your documents and the output format you want to generate.
4. Capture documents using the iPad®/iPhone® Camera. Or import images from your Photo library.
5. IRISCloud™ OCR immediately processes them, converts them into the requested output format and sends them to the specified location. The text-searchable and/or fully editable documents are now available in the Cloud and can be downloaded and opened in your favourite apps.
Note: the processing is done in the Cloud, which means you need a WIFI or 3G connection. To import images however, no WIFI or 3G connection is needed.
