If you suddenly need an article, book or dissertation, and there is it only in the library, then you no longer need to sit for several hours and reprint the entire book.
Appas are paid, but the quality of execution is worth it. To work on a laptop or computer, you will need scans of documents. The application recognizes the jpg, bmp, png formats, then processes them and gives you the finished file in the format you need (doc, xls, pdf). Received documents can be edited and printed.
The camera of the phone will serve as a replacement for the scanner in the mobile version of the application. The developers recommend using a camera of more than 5 megapixels, it is then that the results of the work will be of high quality.

Skype
We are sure that many users of PCs and smartphones are familiar with such an application as Skype. Over the past few years, the application has expanded its capabilities. It all started with sales managers and linguists who found potential customers through Skype and taught them foreign languages remotely. After that, the platform began to be adjusted to tutors in all subjects who were ready to prepare for exams for money or explain any topic to a student.
To date, in Skype you can get such professions as a programmer, make-up artist, graphic designer, astrologer, targetologist, etc.
But despite the monetization of appa, you can still chat with fellow students or listen to lectures while sitting at home.
