Scanning documents with staples, bent corners, or clipped edges has long been a hassle for people who rely on mobile apps for paperwork. A new feature in iScanner, called Edge Repair, is designed to take care of that issue. By applying AI directly on the device, the app can smooth out rough edges and rebuild missing parts of a page so the final scan looks as it should.

Instead of forcing users to trim staples or re-scan pages to avoid cut-off corners, Edge Repair works behind the scenes to identify what is missing and restore it pixel by pixel. The creators say it can handle folds, obstructions, or tilted pages, producing a clean version without requiring any manual fixes.

The Trump administration has outlined a plan that would put Oracle in charge of safeguarding TikTok’s recommendation system, a senior White House official said today. The proposal is designed to ease U.S. concerns that the app could be steered by Beijing, while keeping TikTok available for the 170m people who use it in America.

The recommendation engine, which decides what videos appear in a user’s feed, sits at the center of the dispute. Often described as the app’s most important feature, its secret sauce, it is also the focus of security worries. U.S. officials argue that because it was created by ByteDance, based in Beijing, the Chinese government could influence what users see by pushing or hiding certain content without detection.
