The Measure Mode lets you quickly calculate the dimensions of objects in your scans by placing measurement lines directly on the image. It provides precise results, making it ideal for checking sizes, distances, and proportions without additional tools.
What is Measure Mode in Scanner Pro?
The Measure Mode is a separate mode in Scanner Pro that allows you to do many things on the go. Here are just a few of the actions you could possibly use this feature for:
- Checking object sizes: measure the length or width of items in your scans, such as furniture, packages, or documents.
- Reviewing technical details: useful for plans, drawings, or diagrams where accurate dimensions matter.
- Estimating distances: measure spacing between elements in an image or document.
- Verifying proportions: compare sizes and layout in designs, layouts, or blueprints.
- Planning and organizing: helpful for home projects, office layouts, or space planning.
- Studying or learning: measure figures, charts, or illustrations for better understanding.
In short, Measure mode helps you get quick, accurate size information directly from your scans, with no ruler or extra tools needed.
