OSS Document Scanner is what I now use as an alternative to CamScanner.

It's a little bit different, and that may be due to my Android operating system (GrapheneOS).

When I try to use the camera in OSS Document scanner, the text is often hard to read and blurry. It doesn't capture well for whatever reason.

So what I do is take the photos on my phone and select them inside OSS Doc Scanner and the filters make it grayscale, remove any text you can see through from the other side, and otherwise cleans it up. It then gives me a 100-200kb jpg or pdf.

CamScanner works well for taking the photo, but the filters it has are actually worse than OSS Scanner. Plus CamScanner is closed-source, Chinese company and has a huge footprint. OSS Scanner is faster and smaller.

What is OSS Document Scanner?

The OSS Document Scanner is an Open Source app to scan all your documents. You either scan using your camera or by importing an image. The app will automatically detect you document within the photo and will crop the image.

Once the document is created you can detect text within the document using OCR.

You can also share your document as a PDF. If you want you can synchronize the app data with a webdav server (like nextloud) to never loose anything!
