   OSS Document Scanner vs Adobe Scan Comments

   Positive comment by tangycandy · Dec 24, 2023

   Lots of filters, great automatic cropping/resizing abilities for document pages compared to other scanning apps

   Positive comment by Guest · Sep 5, 2024

   1. It's open source
   2. It doesn't collect any information
   3. No sign in required
   4. No files are uploaded to their cloud so they are less likely to steal my data. All in all it's a great app

   Positive comment by Guest · Jan 8, 2024

   Fast, lightweight and open source
