CamScanner Introduces “Turn Page to Auto Capture” Feature for Effortless Document Digitization

NEW YORK, Aug. 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — CamScanner, a leading mobile scanning application, today announced the launch of its new “Turn Page to Auto Capture” feature, an innovative tool designed to streamline the process of digitizing multi-page documents like books, contracts, and notebooks. This groundbreaking function is the first of its kind in the industry.

The Turn Page to Auto Capture feature allows users to digitize entire books or multi-page documents with just a few simple steps. By opening the app, tapping the camera button, selecting “Book mode,” and activating “Turn Page to Auto Capture,” scanning becomes both effortless and efficient. After the first page is captured manually, users only need to turn the pages while the app automatically detects and records each one.(https://www.youtube.com/shorts/S-k5Xo-Kch8）This eliminates the need to tap the capture button repeatedly, making the process faster and smoother—whether scanning 10 pages or 100.

Users can simply turn the pages while the app automatically detects and captures each one
Users can simply turn the pages while the app automatically detects and captures each one

This feature is powered by an advanced deep learning algorithm that performs real-time analysis of the viewfinder content to recognize subtle cues such as hand movements, changes in lighting, shadows, and the book’s colors. Once the algorithm detects a page turn, the system waits for the page to settle, ensuring a crisp image capture. This approach effectively prevents common issues like blurry shots, duplicate pages, and accidental obstructions. This feature is currently available on iOS.

A key technical challenge was determining the perfect moment to automatically capture the image after a page is turned. The app must not snap a picture immediately; instead, it needs to consider factors such as the stability of the book, whether fingers are obscuring the text, and changes in clarity. To address this, CamScanner developed a smart decision-making algorithm that only takes a picture once the page is stable, unobstructed, and clear. The logic is designed to trigger only when a page-turning action is detected, preventing duplicate shots when the document is stationary.

The result is a high-quality PDF document created with minimal user effort. The technology behind the feature breaks down the task into three main components: detecting the page turn, automatically capturing the page after detection, and then processing the captured page using CamScanner’s book mode to remove imperfections and create a high-quality PDF. The integration of these components allows for a seamless and efficient scanning experience.

With the Turn Page to Auto Capture feature, CamScanner reaffirms its commitment to providing users with powerful, intuitive tools for digitizing and managing their documents.

Nearly 60% of Wildberries Pickup Points Are Run by Women, Company Survey Finds

MOSCOW, RUSSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 August 2025 – Wildberries, a leading digital platform in Eurasia, carried out a study finding that the majority of owners of its marketplace pickup points are women who started their business on their own.

A survey conducted among nearly 700 respondents showed that 59% of pickup points are owned by women aged 36 to 45, who are married and raising multiple children. Meanwhile, 76% of respondents said they opened their pickup points independently, and 74% said their partnership with Wildberries marked their first entry into entrepreneurship.

Wildberries’ marketplace infrastructure relies on a network of more than 87,000 pickup points across eight countries of operation, more than three-fourths of which are run by local entrepreneurs under a franchise model. Pickup points offer customers a convenient alternative to home delivery while creating opportunities for local entrepreneurs to open their own pickup point as part of the Wildberries network.

Support for women and entrepreneurship lies at the heart of the Wildberries story. The company was founded in 2004 by Tatyana Kim, who was on maternity leave and wanted to make shopping easier for young mothers. She is now the mother of seven children.

Today Wildberries actively supports the development of SMEs, as well as women’s entrepreneurship and tech education, in the countries where it operates. Of the more than 1 million sellers on Wildberries, 58% are women.

“Digital platforms open new opportunities for women entrepreneurs, boosting their business activity and engagement in the economy,” Tatyana Kim said at the Central Asian International Economic Forum in Tajikistan last month. “This is an important step towards greater gender balance, financial independence and new horizons for the development of women’s entrepreneurship in the region.”

In 2024, Wildberries signed a memorandum with the Association of Women and Girls of Uzbekistan to support women’s entrepreneurship in the country, and in 2025, the company became a partner of the Women in Tech Kyrgyzstan initiative.

More than 60% of Malaysians Lack Vitamin D Alpro Pharmacy Subsidises RM1.6 Million for Project :D to Tackle Malaysia’s Silent Vitamin D Crisis

KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA – Media OutReach Newswire – 29 August 2025 – Despite Malaysia’s year-round sunshine, Vitamin D insufficiency has become a widespread and often overlooked health challenge. A systematic review published in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health (2022) reported that 64% of Malaysians have suboptimal Vitamin D levels, while more than 20% are deficient. Pregnant women are among the most vulnerable, with a study in Nutrients (2022) finding that up to 96% of expectant mothers were deficient by the time of delivery. It can weaken bones, increase the risk of fractures and falls among the elderly, compromise immunity, affect mood and energy, and in pregnancy it is linked to gestational diabetes, pre-eclampsia, preterm birth, and impaired bone development in newborns.

To confront this widespread and often overlooked health challenge, Alpro Pharmacy has launched Project 😀 with an RM1.6 million nationwide subsidy, making Vitamin D testing and education accessible to Malaysians. The initiative aims to screen 30,000 people, raise awareness, and provide personalised counselling by pharmacists, doctors, and dietitians.

Project 😀 will begin in September 2025 with 30 pilot outlets, before expanding nationwide in October 2025. Screening is priced at RM1 ONLY for high-risk groups (elderly, pregnant and breastfeeding mothers, or individuals with limited sun exposure) and RM15 for the general public (normal price RM35). Each test comes with professional counselling and a tailored health plan.

“Vitamin D deficiency is more than a nutritional issue; it is a public health challenge that affects immunity, mood, energy, and even the risk of falls among our elderly. At Alpro, we believe every Malaysian deserves access to the tools and care they need to live healthier, brighter lives. Project 😀 is our commitment to walk this journey together with the public — towards a healthier and vibrant Malaysia,” said Ph. Lim En Ni, Chief Pharmacist and Engagement Director of Alpro Pharmacy.

Supporting this mission, Powerlife, a leading health supplement provider in Malaysia, has stepped forward as the main partner of Project :D. They have contributed 300 advanced Vitamin D analysers to Alpro outlets nationwide. These devices, powered by Global Science’s handheld fluorescence technology, deliver accurate results within minutes and bridge the accessibility gap between costly laboratory tests and less reliable rapid kits.

To strengthen the initiative’s long-term impact, Alpro is also collaborating with two leading academic institutions. The International Medical University (IMU) will conduct research on Vitamin D’s role in maternal and infant health, while Universiti Teknologi MARA (UiTM) will study its impact on elderly care, particularly in preventing falls and fractures.

Our research is not just about data — it is about people. By understanding how Vitamin D shapes the health of mothers, babies, children & adolescents and the elderly, we can turn science into action. Through this collaboration with Alpro, we are taking meaningful steps to improve lives in Malaysia,” said Professor Winnie Chee, Professor of Nutrition & Dietetics at IMU and Director of the Institute of Research, Development and Innovation (IRDI).

Beyond screenings, Project 😀 will also roll out educational campaigns, community talks, and awareness programmes in partnership with MyFalls, focusing on fall prevention among the elderly and raising awareness of the crucial role Vitamin D plays in everyday wellness.

Malaysians are encouraged to take the first step towards better health by joining Project :D. Visit your nearest Alpro Pharmacy or Alpro Clinic to learn more and locate participating outlets. For updates and expert advice, follow Alpro Pharmacy’s official social media channels.
