Prepare your Marshmallow devices that Android 6.0 is right around the corner .
During the event on Tuesday September 29 in San Francisco, Google said the new version of its mobile operating system, Android Marshmallow, will be available for download from compatible devices from the first week of October .
As usual, the first devices to receive the new version of the operating platform of Google are the family of Nexus devices, starting with the new Nexus 5X and Nexus 6P . Subsequently, the high-end phones –of renowned manufacturers such as Samsung, HTC and Motorola– receive the update once manufacturers modify the software to your liking.
Marshmallow is the latest update to Google for its more than one billion devices using some of their versions. Counting Marshmallow, giant based in Mountain View, California, it has seven versions: Froyo, Gingerbread, Ice Cream Sandwich, Jelly Bean, KitKat, and Marshmallow Lollipop – all names of goodies
In CNET. in Spanish we have a full list of confirmed by the companies that will receive Android Marshmallow as soon as possible devices. The list gradually will grow and will update with more devices. If your phone or tablet still does not appear, check later.
Android 6.0 will not bring many changes so notorious in the eyes of users, but there will be improvements under the hood to improve the performance of compatible devices . Pay Android, Google Now on Tap, permits for individual apps, native compatibility with biometric readers and the new battery saving mode Doze are some of the most anticipated news.
While all users own a Android device wants to receive Marshmallow, it is likely that very few receive because of the enormous fragmentation in the platform. Lollipop, available since last year, is installed on 21 percent of devices; KitKat, with two years of availability, is installed on 39.2 percent.
In comparison, iOS 8 with the same period of availability Lollipop won adoption of more than 90 percent until it reached a new version. iOS 9, available from September 16, achieved net making 50 percent, according to Apple itself, in less than a week.
However, the problem is not Google Android, but carriers and manufacturers. Google published the code of the latest version of its operating system-in this case Marshmallow–, and manufacturers must take the code and modify it for each of your devices. This process is time for high-end phones; for medium and low range is almost synonymous that never see the most recent versions of Android. Following this, operators must authorize updates.
already knew his name and many of its specifications for months, and the first week of October we try. These are the main new features of Android 6.0 Marshmallow, improved inside and outside version.

The first to receive Android 6.0 will, of course, the new Nexus 5X and 6P. As of October 5 that receive the official update will be the Nexus 5, Nexus 6 Nexus Nexus 7 and 9. The above models are left out of Marshmallow.
Although its external appearance is not unlike Lollipop, it does introduce features that will make you use different and the amount of internal changes is also important.
Permissions improved
Marshmallow brings a more complete menu configuration which permits concerns. Now it will be possible to approve or deny access for each application to different phone functions as the camera or similar connection as configured in iOS way.
Now on tap, the search engine deepens
One of the most noteworthy developments in terms of operation is Now on tap. The Google search engine can further examine the content of applications as well as to examine the contents of the screen. From Google Now will be possible, for example, interact in new ways to ask for what we’re seeing at all times.
Voice Interactions
What applies to Google Now, it also applies to applications. In Marshmallow it is possible to interact by voice command within each application. More intuitive.
Squeeze the battery Doze Mode
The battery management is one of the important points in Android 6.0. Google has integrated a new feature called Doze Mode. In essence, what it does is put the smartphone into a deep sleep state when it detects that takes time unused to save as much battery. It also prioritizes the applications they use to always be ready. Google estimates that, with the screen off, the Nexus 5 and 6 will be up to 30% more battery Marshmallow.
Pay and native Android fingerprints
Android already had terminals with fingerprint sensors, but Marshmallow introduced by order management system native biometric security. One reason for this integration is the arrival of Android Pay payment system, the system will compete with Apple and Samsung for being our electronic wallet

Evernote, the popular note-taking application, has built a fantastic and free app called Scannable. It is extremely helpful to scan receipts, business cards and other documents.

The application does the rest by finding work in the field of view of the camera of a sheet of paper, making focusing automatically and taking a photo. Spend to another piece of paper if you have a multipage document and Scannable the will combine, leaving remove scanned pages you do not want or need.
Then quickly edit the image to enhance the contrast and shine and to be as clear and readable as possible. If you rather have not automatically scan anything in the field of view of the camera, there is a manual mode also captures.

The best app for Android. CamScanner
To scan documents with your Android phone it is best CamScanner. This free app not only does the basics very well, but does much more.
This app uses your phone’s camera to scan documents, business cards, receipts and even words and scribbles on a blackboard. When you finish making a scan , CamScanner analyzes the image content to organize any type of document automatically. That means all your cards remain in a special folder, while documents or receipts will go in another. As an additional feature, the app also lets you create scans of photos you’ve taken before. The most important thing is that the scan quality is spectacular, but much of it will depend on the quality of your camera phone.

Once you have captured an image, there are plenty of ways to edit, including adjusting the color, contrast or brightness, or crop the image. You can also add watermarks and annotations as well as labels so you can look further scans. They also come incorporated some collaboration tools where you can invite others to make changes to your scanned documents. The list of features below, including links to popular search and storage services in the cloud as Dropbox or Google Drive.
As scannable, CamScanner has OCR, but you will need download a plug -in apart for use. With OCR, you can search for documents by keyword or phrase, which works quite well.

You’ll have to create an account to use the app, but this allows you to upload your scans automatically when CamScanner website, which makes it very easy then download them to your computer. CamScanner is also available for Windows Phone and iOS.
Honorable mention
Microsoft Office Lens (Android, iOS and Windows)
This application is very simple and allows you to scan documents, blackboards and even photos to then import your Microsoft account. You can also save your scanned documents as PDFs or add them to OneNote or onedrive. If much you use those services, Office Lens is a great choice for you.
Scanbot (Android and iOS)
One of my favorite apps to scan , Scanbot, has a great design that is also very easy to use. The app automatically scans documents as soon as you point the camera on a piece of paper, which is very convenient. Then you can cut the scanned document and choose the final version of four options with different glosses, effects and contrasts.
The free app makes the basic scan, but if you pay 99 cents per month, or US $ 4.90 in one payment, you can upgrade to the professional version that offers extras such as OCR, automatic labeling and themes. You can also use the free Pro version but with ads.
