• There is no OCR capability on the mobile application which is a key feature in the desktop version. Without the OCR capability, the quality of scanned images upon conversion may not be optimum.
• There are no forms template in mobile app. So you do not have the option to create your own form. However in desktop version, you have a complete menu dedicated to the Forms which enables to create your professional outlook and help you have a seamless workflow.
• There are multiple formats that are supported for conversion in desktop app. In case of mobile app, only word, excel and ppt options are currently available which can hinder your progress slightly.
