The app enables capturing of several pictures through Multi-Shot and then it allows users to put them all in one note. They will also have the option of deleting photos that didn’t come quite come out as expected, before hitting save. Page Camera is the latest element to be added to the snapper’s features. When this is utilized, images of documents and papers can be saved onto the application.
All consumers will have to do is just make sure that the on-screen box encapsulates the entire page before they take a picture of the document. The mode finds edges, removes shadows and perks up the contrast to store an appropriate copy. In comes the usefulness of the corresponding Smart Notebook, with each page consisting of dots instead of lines. This along with the employed handwriting recognition technology enables searches to be carried out effectively.
Multi-hued Smart Stickers hidden in the book’s back pocket empowers users with the ability to assign a tag to a note.
