I've used OpenNoteScan before: * https://f-droid.org/en/packages/com.todobom.opennotescanner/ * https://github.com/allgood/OpenNoteScanner It works OK but it looks a bit old, and you need to install OpenCV Manager separately, outside of F-Droid for it to work.

Thank you!

Quick take: this is staying on my phone, great effort :) Notes: - Doesn't keep flash permanently on (like CamScanner) - Skew correction looks maybe worse quality (than CamScanner) - Totally fine for at least 80% of the things I'd use CamScanner for. Super well done!

Your suggestions are noted. Thank you for your feedback!

Looks like a really great start! Just gave the app a quick test and the basics seem to be working fine.

Apart from automatic cropping and perspective distortion correction others have mentioned already, the white margins of the exported PDFs are IMHO quite a bit too large. In fact, as the app is a document scanner, I'd not expect any border at all.
