CLUSTER MOBILE-SCANNER-CONVERTS · 24 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-10-05

Mobile document scanners with OCR

This cluster comprises mobile and desktop apps that digitize paper documents via camera or scanner, offering OCR text extraction, PDF conversion, editing, signing, and cloud backup. Entries were sporadic and low-frequency from 2010 through 2025, with most months having a single entry and only occasional months seeing two, indicating no clear acceleration over time. Traction leaders by activity signal are Atlas AI: PDF Document Scanner, Scanner – Scan PDF, ID & Docs, and Document Scanner・Photo to PDF, though all currently show zero stars.

Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.
