Used #FairScan earlier this week, and it's a wonderful app. Does one thing only and does it well. No tracking, no ads. Recommend.

FairScan - Simple & Respectful Document Scanner for Android

FairScan 1.15 and 1.16 improve automatic document detection and edge detection.

These updates make the automatic cropping more reliable across different kinds of documents.

I also wrote a short post about how FairScan turns a detected document into a clean quadrilateral, and why this step is trickier than it looks:

Bom app para escanear documentos. Lembra muito o Adbe Scan e a captura do Evernote antes de enshittificarem.

#FairScan #Android #FDroid

FairScan 1.14.0 improves brightness handling for color documents, with more consistent results and fewer over-bright or under-exposed scans.

I also published a blog post about a closely related question:
"What's a good scan?"
