Proofie Scan & OCR

Scan it.
Read it.
Keep it private.

Proofie Scan & OCR turns your phone into a private document scanner. No account, no cloud, no ads.

Scan paper with your phone, copy the text, and share it as a PDF, Word, Excel or PowerPoint file. Text recognition runs on your phone, every scan is saved into a folder you choose, and Proofie Scan & OCR never uploads your scans.

Everything in one place

Scan, search and find any document.

Everything it does

Scan

  • Your phone’s own document scanner finds the edges and captures when you hold steady
  • Many pages into one document, in any order
  • Modes for documents, ID cards and passports (front, back and passport page together in one file), books (a spread becomes two pages) and plain text
  • Color, grayscale or black and white, with contrast and shadow cleanup
  • Import photos you already have, and turn text and CSV files into PDFs
  • Save ID scans as PDF, JPG or PNG, whichever a form asks for

Read

  • Text recognition on your phone, so it works without a connection
  • Copy the text, fix a word, then share it or save it as a text file
  • Search every scan by the words on the page
  • Translate a scan into 12 common languages, and have it read aloud (translation needs a one-time language download)
  • Receipts: vendor, date and total picked out for you

Organize

  • New scans get a readable name, like “Your eye test is due”, not a timestamp
  • Letters, receipts, invoices and IDs sort themselves into folders
  • Favorites, your own folders and tags
  • Reorder, delete or split pages after scanning
  • Light and dark mode

Keep your files

  • Every scan is saved as a PDF into a folder you choose on your phone
  • Optionally a copy goes to your photo library too
  • Your files stay where you put them, even if you delete the app
  • Print any document
  • Add a business card straight to your contacts

PDF tools

  • Merge several PDFs into one (Pro)
  • Split a PDF into separate files (Pro)
  • Pull out just the pages you need (Pro)
  • All of it on your phone

Private by design

There is no sign-up and no tracking. Your documents live on your phone, and you decide where each copy goes.
