The OSS Document Scanner is a free and Open Source app to transform your mobile device into a powerful document scanner.




Google Lens lets you search what you see, get things done faster, and understand the world around you—using just your camera or a photo.




Your portable scanner. Use your camera to get high quality scans of paper documents, receipts, notes and more. Anytime, anywhere.




OpenScan is an open source app that enables users to scan hardcopies of documents or notes and convert it to PDF or JPEG files. Its motto is "No ads. No data collection. We respect your privacy.".



Scanner Pro turns your iPhone into portable scanner in your pocket. It lets you scan multipage documents, email them and even upload to Dropbox, MobileMe iDisk or any other WebDAV enabled server.




The Adobe Scan scanner app turns your device into a powerful portable scanner that recognizes text automatically (OCR) and allows you to save to multiple file formats including PDF and JPEG.








Main point of this app is to scan or select existing PDF documents simply using intent or chooser. Other apps require payment to access their api/sdk or simply don't have a possible way to do it. So they rely on switching between an app ,file chooser and a scanner.





Office Lens is adapted to many platforms, but if I talk about iOS, I choose Pocket Scanner.
