About 10 months ago I purchased Handy Scanner (HS) for Android for $4 on the Google Play Store. Since that time I have recorded nearly ever scrap of documentation that has come through my inbox using it. With the introduction of the Scan feature in Google Drive, it's all starting to change.
All I ever did was create a documents with Handy Scanner upload to Google Drive. Now that Google Drive has the primary function of Handy Scanner incorporated, I wonder how the creators of Handy Scanner are going to distinguish themselves.
So far Handy Scanner differs from Google Drive Scan in that when adjusting an image the quality can be set manually. Google automatically sets the quality of your document, leaving no options. Handy Scanner also offers the ability to crop in-line or rotate when creating a document, Google Drive Scan does not have either of these features.
But for all the extras that Handy Scanner offers, it may just be the simplicity of Google Drive Scan that wins out. However, I'm sure there are plenty of people who don't use Google Drive or would rather not have their documents automatically backed-up there.
I will have to evaluate the full scope, before I call a winner.
