About Docusy

Docusy is the document scanner that edits what it reads. Most scanners hand you a locked image and stop there. Docusy reads every word in your scan and lets you change it — tap a word to correct, replace, or rewrite it, and the edit takes on your document’s own font and colour, so it looks native rather than pasted on. That one capability is the wedge: a scanner that edits, not just captures.

Around it sits the full toolkit. Scan with your camera and Docusy detects the edges, corrects the perspective, and enhances the image. On-device reading makes every scan searchable and editable, with Live Text on the page. Translate recognised text into any language your device supports, with the layout kept intact (iOS 18+). Pull the merchant, date, totals and line items off a receipt and export them as CSV. Export to PDF, JPG, PNG or CSV — and, on iOS 26, to Word and Excel, where detected tables become real rows.

Scan a receipt. Sign a tenancy agreement. Fix a typo in a form. Archive a contract. Lock it behind Face ID, and export an encrypted PDF when a document is sensitive. Docusy works in 17 languages, including full right-to-left layout for Arabic and Persian, across iPhone, iPad and Mac — with a redesigned sidebar and editing toolbar on bigger screens. One purchase covers them all.

Everything runs on your device. No accounts. No servers. No internet required. No ads, no watermarks. We can’t see your documents because we never receive them. Made in Australia by WhiteLake.

New in Docusy 5.1

Word & Excel export

Export the data Docusy detects to Word (.docx) and Excel (.xlsx) — detected tables become real spreadsheet rows. (iOS 26)

Protect your documents

Lock the app with Face ID or your passcode, export password-protected (encrypted) PDFs, and keep stored documents protected at rest.

Translate into any language

Translate recognised text into any language your device supports — not just a fixed list. (iOS 18+)

Better on iPad & Mac

A new sidebar layout and a redesigned PDF editing toolbar make Docusy feel at home on bigger screens.

Print & cleaner data export

Print straight from the export sheet, and export detected tables and lists once — cleanly, with no duplicated text.

Privacy — “Scanning, reading, data extraction and translation all run on your device. There are no accounts and no servers — your documents never leave your phone.”
Translation — “Translate a scanned document into any language your device supports, with the original layout kept intact — and nothing ever leaves your phone. (iOS 18+)”
Word / Excel export — “Export a scan to Word or Excel and the tables Docusy detects come through as real rows, not a flat picture. (iOS 26)”

For reviewers

Docusy needs no account and no sign-in — install it and start scanning. Nothing is gated behind a login because there’s no login to begin with.

Docusy is free to download on the App Store. For the premium features (smart data export, on-device translation, editable OCR and Word/Excel export), promo and offer codes are available on request — email armin.ahmadi@gmail.com and we’ll send some over. Ahead of launch, a TestFlight build is available on request to try the 5.1 features early.

A few things worth trying first, because they show what makes Docusy different:

  • Edit a scanned word. Scan a printed receipt or letter, tap a word, and retype it — watch it keep the original font and colour.
  • Export to Word or Excel (iOS 26). Scan a document with a table and export to .docx or .xlsx — detected tables come out as real rows, not pictures.
  • Translate a scan in place (iOS 18+). Translate recognised text into any language your device supports, with the original layout kept intact.
  • Turn a receipt into a CSV. Scan a receipt; Docusy reads the merchant, date, totals and line items, and exports them as CSV.

We’d genuinely value honest feedback — cons included. If something feels slow, confusing or half-finished, tell us; that’s more useful than praise. No conditions attached: it’s not in exchange for coverage. And you’re welcome to shoot your own screenshots.

Assets

All optional — you’re free to use your own captures instead.
