The Application
JotNot Scanner Pro iPhone app, as mentioned above, virtually converts your iPhone into a personal scanner.

The app’s integrated settings permit you to adjust contrast/convert images to black and white, alongside adding a small time stamp. Even though, the image quality may not be strictly at par with typical scanner generated image, the text is reasonably clear enough to read, even though smaller case letters might not be as visible as you would like it to be. It has been observed that the app performs better with black text on white background. Converting images with light text on boldly colored backgrounds/patterned backgrounds resulted in less quality.
