Comments and Reviews
I love open source software. But I have to be honest and say that, as delighted as I am that Open Note Scanner exists, it's not up there with the very best just yet. However, it is reasonable and open source enthusiasts might find its weaknesses quite liveable-with.
Compared to CamScanner, just for example, Open Scan Note:
By contrast, CamScan does brand scans you take with it and needs (very) slight assistance in selecting appropriate boundaries for the objects it is asked to scan. But it does allow you to combine several pages into one.
Both apps have a menu from which you can share your document (E.g. to Evernote, Seafile, Tresorit or whatever else you happen to have an account with).

I totally agree with you, but FYI CamScanner only puts watermarks if you export as a pdf.
it offers everything needed with no tracking
nice and easy app for saving docs in digital format. a bit heavy 9.2mb for open source app i think. thank you.
Very useful, but you need a black background or it will be hard to detect the edge of the paper
