OSS Document Scanner

OSS Document Scanner is a productivity app for Android that allows you to scan physical documents with your phone camera and convert them into digital PDFs or images. It's like an open-source document scanner that prioritizes privacy, accuracy, and scan quality, allowing you to digitize receipts, contracts, notes, cards, and entire pages without the need for a physical scanner.

Scans with good image quality

The app automatically detects your documents, identifying the page edges and correcting the perspective, even if the photo is taken at an angle. This allows you to achieve a similar result to that of a flatbed scanner, with straight and well-aligned documents. You'll also be able to manually adjust the edges if the auto-crop isn't perfect, allowing you to ensure a good final result even if the initial interaction with your file doesn't turn out the way you wanted.

Export your documents to PDF

OSS Document Scanner can export the scans as PDFs or individual images, so you can conveniently send them via email, store them in the cloud, or simply access them easily. You can also combine several pages into a single PDF, rearrange pages, and name files to keep things organized. This will help you keep track of everything you scan, especially when they are important documents you don't want to misplace.

My impressions after thoroughly testing OSS Document Scanner

After testing OSS Document Scanner, I can say that it scans very well and the auto-crop is almost perfect; I only had to adjust a couple of edges once. I could also organize everything I scanned into folders, so everything is conveniently locatable. Additionally, the many settings will help you achieve what you want if you know how to use them, but they can be overwhelming for users without any experience.

The best and worst parts of OSS Document Scanner

• What I liked most is the focus on privacy, the scan quality, the edge detection, and the flexible export to both PDF and images.

• What I liked the least is the lack of default built-in OCR, some limited advanced options, and an interface that is less polished than that of more popular commercial apps.
