Belgetara: Document Scanner, PDF and Text Recognition App for iPhone and iPad

Belgetara is a document scanner app that brings the job of a desktop scanner to iPhone and iPad. Point the camera at a document: edges are detected automatically, perspective is corrected, shadows are removed and multi-page documents are saved as PDF. The text of every scanned document is read, so you can find documents by any word they contain.

Quick answerBelgetara is an iPhone and iPad document scanner app developed by Hakan Sevimoğlu. It scans multi-page documents with automatic edge detection, perspective correction and shadow removal; extracts text with multilingual OCR, Turkish included; offers a saved signature, permanent redaction, and adding text and dates; and uses AI for a short summary, detailed report, key information, to-dos and asking questions about the document. Documents can be searched by title, content or tag.

What does Belgetara do?

Invoices, rental agreements, ID cards, receipts, lecture notes or business paperwork: storing, finding and sending paper documents takes time. Belgetara turns a document into a clean PDF in seconds, reads its text to make it searchable and lets you share it with a single tap. No desktop scanner, photocopier or computer needed.

The home screen has Scan, Photo, ID and File shortcuts. Documents can be added to favorites and grouped with tags such as "Invoices"; the search box looks through titles, tags and the text inside each document. The app runs on iPhone and iPad.

TestFlight · Beta

Try Belgetara on your iPhone now

Until Belgetara is released on the App Store, you can test it for free through TestFlight, Apple's official beta app. Open the link on your iPhone or iPad, install TestFlight and then Belgetara.

Smart scanning: edge detection, perspective and shadow correction

  • The document is detected in the camera view, edges are found automatically and the shot is taken when you hold steady
  • A document shot at an angle is turned into a flat page with perspective correction
  • Shadow removal reduces glare spots and hand shadows
  • Multi-page scanning: pages are captured one after another and saved as a single document
  • Import photos and files from your library; a dedicated scan mode for ID cards

The scanned document is exported as PDF or shared directly, sent to email, WhatsApp or the Files app in one step.

Every document searchable with Turkish OCR

Belgetara converts the writing on a scanned page into text and recognizes multiple languages, Turkish included. Text can be viewed page by page or all at once, with word and character counts. You can copy, translate and share the text; a customer number or due date on an invoice is captured without typing it by hand.

The real benefit of OCR is search: find a contract you scanned months ago in seconds by a name or amount it contains. Details on the Turkish OCR and text recognition page.

Signing, redaction and editing

Instead of printing a document to sign it, you place your saved signature on it on screen; add text, dates, highlights and pen markup. Information that should not be shared, such as a Turkish ID number, IBAN or address, is covered with permanent redaction; the redacted area cannot be revealed in the exported document. Details on the PDF signing and document redaction page.

AI summaries of long documents in seconds

For a long contract or report, a short summary, detailed report, bullet-point summary, key information (dates, amounts, parties), to-do list and title suggestion are prepared with a single tap. You can ask the document questions directly: "What is the due date?" or "How many days' notice is required for termination?". The app clearly shows the user that the document text is used only for this operation.
