About this app

Quick Scan OCR – Fast, Private Text Scanner

Turn your phone into a powerful OCR scanner. Scan documents, photos, receipts, notes, business cards, books, and PDF files, then extract text quickly with Quick Scan OCR.

Whether you need to digitize printed documents, copy text from an image, scan study notes, or extract text from selected PDF pages, Quick Scan OCR provides a simple way to turn physical and digital documents into usable text.

📷 SCAN WITH CAMERA

Capture documents using your camera with a guided document scanning experience. Automatically detect document edges, crop and enhance your scan, then extract text with on-device OCR.

🖼️ OCR FROM IMAGES

Select images using Android's system photo picker and recognize printed text from photos, screenshots, receipts, notes, and other images.

📄 PDF OCR

Select a PDF file and choose the pages you want to scan. Process selected pages one at a time and extract text from individual pages or view recognized text together.

🔍 FAST OCR WITH AUTOMATIC FALLBACK

Quick Scan OCR uses a multi-engine OCR pipeline designed for reliable recognition:

• ML Kit for fast primary recognition
• Automatic Tesseract fallback when needed
• Optional Advanced Scan using PaddleOCR for another recognition attempt

OCR processing is performed on your device.

🌐 MULTIPLE LANGUAGES

Choose from the supported OCR language list and recognize text from documents written in different languages and scripts.

⚡ ADVANCED SCAN

When the initial result needs improvement, try Advanced Scan for another OCR pass. The latest result automatically updates the same scan in your history.

📚 SCAN HISTORY

Keep your previous scans organized in one place. Reopen a scan at any time, review its recognized text, and continue working with the same saved result.

📋 COPY, SHARE & SAVE TEXT

Use your recognized text wherever you need it:

• Copy text to the clipboard
• Share text with other apps
• Save recognized text as a .txt file

🔒 PRIVACY-FIRST, LOCAL-FIRST DESIGN

Your scanned documents and OCR results are processed locally on your device. Quick Scan OCR does not require an account, and your scanned documents and OCR results are not uploaded to our servers.

Camera access is requested only when you choose to scan with the camera. Images and PDF files are selected using Android's system pickers, so the app does not require broad storage or media access permissions.
