What it does

Scan it once. Use it everywhere.Bills, IDs, notes, books and forms.

01Scan

Point at any paper. It does the rest.

BharatScanner finds the page, takes the photo by itself when it's steady, checks the corners and warns you if it's blurry, then makes it crisp and straight. Say “next” to scan page after page without touching the phone.

  • Finds the page, captures by itself
  • Corner check and blur warning
  • Voice shutter: just say “next”

02ID card

Front and back on one page

Pick ID card and scan the front. BharatScanner tells you when to turn it over, scans the back, and puts both sides on one A4 page: a card at its real size, the copy every office and bank asks for, or each side of a paper on half the page. Check them together and retake either side. Aadhaar, PAN, voter ID, a driving licence, or any two-sided paper.

03Book mode

A whole book, hands-free

Put your phone on a stand above the book and just turn pages. Each spread is photographed by itself, split into two pages and flattened, so the curve near the spine disappears. Stop any time and it picks up where you left off. A volume key or a Bluetooth selfie remote works as the shutter too.

Named, sorted and searchable

Every scan gets a sensible name and a place, like “Electricity bill – Oct 2026” in Bills. Dates and amounts are read so you're reminded before a bill is due or an ID expires, and search finds any word inside your scans.

  • Names and categories by itself
  • Due-date and expiry reminders

05Read aloud

Turn notes and PDFs into an audiobook

Listen to your scans and PDFs in the phone's own voices, with each word marked on the page as it's read. It keeps going with the screen off, so you can revise on a walk. Or have a whole document made into an audiobook, on the phone: it picks up where you stopped, with speed and a sleep timer, and you can save it to Music or share it.

History notes – Ch. 4

The Mauryan Empire was one of the largest empires in ancient India.

Chandragupta Maurya founded it around 322 BCE, with help from his adviser Chanakya.

Ashoka, his grandson, spread Buddhism across Asia after the Kalinga war.

Note: Kalinga war, 261 BCE. Learn the date.

Its capital, Pataliputra, stood near present-day Patna in Bihar.

Questions

Good to know.

Something else? Write to prajjwal@kickhead.in.

Is BharatScanner free?

Yes. Every feature is free and there's no sign-up. The app shows ads, which pay for it.

Do you upload my documents?

No. Scans, PDFs, signatures and the text read from them stay on your phone. They leave only when you share them, or back them up to your own Google Drive if you turn that on. We have no server that receives your documents.

Does it work without internet?

Scanning, reading text, the form tools, the PDF tools and Send to computer work offline. You need the internet to share online, back up to Drive, download a translation language once (about 45 MB), and for ads.

Will it run on my old phone?

Yes. It needs Android 7 or later and is made for 7–10-year-old phones: quick to start, light on memory.

I use an older version. Will I lose my scans?

No. Updating from version 4 to 5.0 brings every old document across, whole. Your scans are also safe against power cuts and crashes, and you can keep a copy in the phone's Documents folder or back up to Google Drive.

Which forms does it know?

32 so far: UPSC, SSC, IBPS, SBI, RBI and RRB exams, NEET, JEE Main, CUET, UGC NET, state commissions, passport, PAN, Aadhaar update, voter ID and driving licence. For anything else, Custom size takes any KB limit and pixel size. Rules change, so always check the latest official notice before you submit.

Is it safe to keep my Aadhaar and PAN in it?

Keep them in the vault: it opens with your fingerprint, face or screen lock, stays out of backups, and can't be screenshotted. When you share, one switch hides the Aadhaar number, if you want it to.

Can I edit a PDF someone sent me?

Yes. Open it from WhatsApp, a download or your files to search it, copy its text, fill its form, sign it, replace words, add notes, or write on it with a stylus. Your changes are saved as a new file unless you choose to replace the original, and then the old version is kept in the app so it can be put back.

I'm changing phones. How do I move my documents?

Turn on Backup to Google Drive, then on the new phone tap “Used BharatScanner before?” and restore. Android's own phone-to-phone transfer brings them across too.

How do I delete my data?

Settings › Delete all my data removes every document, signature and setting from the app. The Delete data page explains everything, including old 4.x accounts. Delete your data
