Version 7.16
Features
Improved Text Recognition
Genius Scan can now rely on Apple Vision as a text recognition engine, leading to much faster and more accurate text recognition. Genius Scan still offers support for all the languages that Apple Vision doesn't support yet. The switch will be transparent.
Curvature Correction
Genius Scan introduces curvature correction, which lets you correct the curvature of documents, especially when you scan books. The option is available by tapping the Edit button on any scanned document and then toggling the curvature correction option.
Only show documents when importing scans from your Photos
When importing images from your photos, you can now only display photos that look like documents. This AI-based feature can save you much time when importing scans from your photos.
Genius Scan adds another cleverness to this feature: it will only crop and enhance the document if it looks like an uncropped or unprocessed document.
Enhancements
- Improved the design of the informative banners displayed at the top of the document list and in various places in the app.
- Multiple performance and design enhancements to the image picker.
Bug fixes

Version 7.15
Enhancements
Export by email
When users export a scan by email, it may get stuck in the Mail app's outbox, sometimes. So you think you sent your scan, but it didn't leave your phone. We added in-app guidance to help you solve this problem, should it happen to you.
Misc
- Sorted receipts by date in expense reports.
- Added a warning if trying to export a file too large for Microsoft OneDrive or OneNote.
Bug fixes

Version 7.14
New
Genius Scan, like most apps, used Google Analytics to gather some general usage data about the app: How many users are using Genius Scan every month? How often a feature is used? Do we see an abnormaly high error rate? What third-party export plugins are the most popular? This helps us focus our efforts on what's most useful to our customers.
Privacy is important to us personally, and we want to treat our users the way we want to be treated. While we had disabled all the aggressive features of Google Analytics and were not sending any personal data, we still had in mind to go a step further.
We're happy to say we've removed Google Analytics in Genius Scan 7.14. Genius Scan now uses TelemetryDeck, an analytics service that makes no compromise on privacy while still enabling us to understand what features are used and where we can improve the app.
Bug fixes
- Prevented an error causing the Genius Cloud servers to not see your recent purchases.
- Removed a memory leak when synchronizing with Genius Cloud.
- Fixed an issue where the "root" path wasn't properly taken in account in some instances when exporting to WebDAV.
Enhancements
- Stopped capitalizing usernames in username/password forms.

Version 7.13
Genius Sign Integration
We noticed that many of you wanted a convenient way to annotate or sign documents and were not aware that we also offer another app to do just that, Genius Sign. With this release, we have tightened the integration between Genius Scan and Genius Sign, enabling you to annotate a scanned document with a single tap in the document screen.
Smart Document Renaming
Smart Document Renaming now includes data detected in receipts and business cards. For instance, if you rename a receipt, you will be able to use the merchant name or the receipt's date with a single tap.
Auto-Export to Any Folder in Files (including iCloud Drive)
We are excited about this feature as it resolves a long-standing limitation of Genius Scan. Auto-Export to iCloud Drive has been replaced by Auto-Export to Files. This is much more powerful, allowing you to export to folders in iCloud Drive and any other location exposed in the Files app. Previously, Auto-Export to iCloud Drive was limited to exporting to the Genius Scan folder in iCloud Drive. If you already have an iCloud Drive auto-export configured, it will continue working as usual.
Enhancements
- Added support for edit mode in the search view. You can select, edit, delete, and move the search results.
- Improved the performance of the document renaming screen.
- Confirmation is now shown when moving files in the document list.
- Improved the performance of thumbnail loading in the document view.
- Improved the performance of the Genius Cloud synchronization.
- Made small visual tweaks.
Bug Fixes

Enhancements

Sep 21, 2023
Version 7.10
In Genius Scan 7.10, we have addressed several long-standing feature requests that will significantly enhance your user experience, particularly for those with more advanced business needs.
New Document Name Template Editor
Document name templates are a powerful feature of Genius Scan, allowing you to customize how your documents are named and create distinct naming patterns.
With document name templates, you can modify the date format used in your document titles, include a client's name in all your document names, or even specify a location.
We have completely overhauled the new document name template editor, making it easier to create templates through drag-and-drop functionality, resulting in a more streamlined user experience.
You can access the new editor in the Settings menu under General > Document Name Templates.
Auto-Crop Imported Documents
When importing scans from your Photos, Genius Scan will now automatically crop any detected document. This means that if you snap a document with your device's camera and then import it in Genius Scan, it will be cropped automatically, saving you quite a few taps. Auto-crop on import is on by default, but you can toggle it off if desired.
Support for Dropbox Team Folders
Genius Scan now offers support for Dropbox Team Folders, a feature that enables business teams to easily share documents with a group of people. You can now export documents directly to Dropbox Team Folders.
Bug fixes
- Fixed issue preventing user to connect a second OneDrive account when already logged in to a business account.
Other Enhancements
- Improved the appearance of the flash and batch buttons on the camera screen.
- Streamlined the Genius Cloud signup and login screens for a cleaner look.

version 7.4

Mar 23, 2023
Version 7.4
New scan edit panel
Genius Scan 7.4 comes with a brand new scan edit panel. When viewing your document, tap the Edit button to reveal it. This new panel provides the same functionality as the previous toolbar but is more intuitive and flexible to make room for future scan editing features (stay tuned!)
New export screen
We know you always export your documents in the same way. So we cleaned up the export screen to move the export settings out of the way (while making them more self-explanatory) and give more room to your export destinations.
Document type detection
If you scan a receipt or a business card, Genius Scan will automatically detect the document type and suggest specific actions such as exporting in the appropriate format or specific editing options.
Expense reporting
If you have been scanning receipts with Genius Scan, you know you're getting a high-quality digital copy of your documents, making it perfect for attaching them to an expense report.
We thought that we shouldn't stop there. So, with Genius Scan 7.4, we're introducing automated PDF/Excel expense reports.
As you scan your receipts, Genius Scan automatically identifies them and extracts the relevant details (such as the date, merchant, amount, currency, ...). It also categorizes them automatically. You can then review and edit these details at will. Once you're ready, you can tap the export button, and you will be able to export the receipts with an attached Excel or PDF expense report.
You can also customize your expense reports by adding your name, your company's name or a VAT number. You can also add additional fields to your report (typically, in some countries, you may want to add a VAT column) or changing the available categories.
We designed this feature to be lightweight and fit into your existing workflow. No need to create an account or convince your boss or accountant to subscribe to a new service.
Misc
- When selecting photos in the photo picker, Genius Scan now displays in which order the photos will be imported.
- Add an option to customize the default email subject prefix (by default, it's [Scan]).
