About this app

The OSS Document Scanner is an Open Source app to scan all your documents. You either scan using your camera or by importing an image. The app will automatically detect you document within the photo and will crop the image.

Once the document is created you can detect text within the document using OCR.

You can also share your document as a PDF. If you want you can synchronize the app data with a webdav server (like nextloud) to never loose anything!

Ratings and reviews

This is an amazing little app that does exactly what it needs to! I tried this months ago when I was looking for a Microsoft replacement, but it didn't meet my needs at that time. I was so impressed to see how far it's grown! I can now use this as a complete replacement for other scanner apps. The fact that it's FOSS and amazing when it comes to privacy is just the icing on the cake.

For quick & dirty, it's awesome! Tip: scan pages in reverse order, PDF creation sorts newest to oldest with no obvious way to change -- image selection order had no effect. Auto scan works well, images are very clear. Option to delete images after PDF creation would be nice, instead of having to re-select & delete. On Pixel 7 Pro with legacy navigation buttons enabled, buttons at bottom of PDF preview page are inaccessible (behind navigation buttons).

The app is nearly perfect..One thing you need to add is the option to scan multiple pages simultaneously to a single pdf while capturing. Currently, you have to scan a single page and add more pages, one at a time. The capturing and computing times can be lowered.
