FOSS document scanning app for Android?
FOSS document scanning app for Android?
Hi, was wondering if anyone knew of an app where you can use your camera to scan documents (like Adobe Scan) which is FOSS.
OSS Document Scanner is great. It's also available in the IzzyOnDroid F-Droid repository: https://apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/index/apk/com.akylas.documentscanner
Wow foss apps are so clean, it blows my mind how one person can do it.
it blows my mind how one person can do it.
One person can't do it. When you're making FOSS you're standing on the shoulders of giants. Most of the code that makes up this app wasn't coded by the developer of this app. Also, there are multiple people committing code to this repository, so it literally isn't just one guy developing this app specifically.
Yeah, I love it!

I'm not finding it, do you mean Open Note Scanner?
Open Note Scanner?
Thanks, just checked it out and this seems good for my purposes.
If anyone else wants a link: https://github.com/allgood/OpenNoteScanner

https://github.com/pencilresearch/OpenScanner I have not used it. But saw it on alternativeto recently.
Looks like that's for iOS?
Edit: Which is a cool find too, since I also have iOS devices.
woops sorry quite honestly I did see the iOS logo but because its on github its my first time seeing a project thats iOS only, with no android alternative thats also open source. Thought they also had a branch for android.
There is one called OpenScan that's available for Android
I've been using docus (izzys fdroid repo) for some time and can recommend it.
Edit: it seems it's no longer being maintained.
