Documents, receipts and books turn into searchable text that can be read aloud and summarized. LiDAR flattens curved book pages – and everything happens on your phone, with no cloud, account or watermarks.
For iPhone and iPad. Book mode with page flattening requires a device with LiDAR (Pro models).
Skanlio reads aloud with natural voices in the right language and highlights each word as it is spoken. It remembers where you stopped in every document, so you can resume anytime.
Get document type, deadlines, amounts and required action items in one clean view. Apple Intelligence runs on-device, so your text never leaves your phone.
Store, date, total amount and VAT are extracted automatically. Bundle expenses into a neat PDF report for your employer, or forward vouchers straight to accounting.
One app for all your paper – from textbooks to invoices and receipts.
Scan textbooks and novels, flatten curved pages, and listen while walking, exercising or commuting.
Letters, bills and contracts become searchable. The AI summary tells you what needs doing – and by when.
Keep track of receipts, file expenses and send vouchers to accounting without typing anything in.
Skanlio is built from the ground up for books, receipts and uncompromising privacy.
The LiDAR sensor measures the page in 3D and flattens it, making text lines straight and readable – even close to the spine.
Turn the page – Skanlio snaps the shot automatically when the page is still, and splits spreads into two pages.
Text recognition understands columns, paragraphs and lists. Share as searchable PDF, images or plain text.
No account, no cloud and no tracking. Lock the app with Face ID if you want.
Sign documents right inside the app, and translate pages using Apple’s built-in translation system.
“Read latest document in Skanlio” or “Scan with Skanlio” – and pipe extracted text directly into your own shortcuts.

No. Scanning, text recognition and text-to-speech happen on your device, and documents are only stored inside the app. Read more in our privacy policy.
Dewarping uses the LiDAR sensor available on iPhone Pro and iPad Pro models. On other devices, pages are perspective-corrected but not dewarped in 3D.
Apple does not give apps access to Siri voices. Skanlio uses the highest quality system voices (“Premium” and “Enhanced”) and your Personal Voice if you've created one. Download more voices under Settings › Accessibility › Spoken Content › Voices.
No. Summaries are generated by Apple Intelligence on the device, and your text is never sent anywhere. It requires an iPhone or iPad that supports Apple Intelligence, such as iPhone 15 Pro, iPhone 16 or newer.
Most accounting tools provide a dedicated email address for receipt vouchers. Add it under Settings › Receipts and Expenses in Skanlio, and you can forward receipt PDFs directly from Apple Mail.
Skanlio helps you collect, sort and send receipts, but is not accounting software. Always verify figures against your accounting system, and adhere to local receipt retention regulations.
