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 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?"

Fairscan + PaperlessNGX (app & server) will soon become my life savers!

kudos to both @pynicolas and the team behind Paperless development! You're doing an amazing job!

The latest releases of #FairScan have a nice feature to facilitate its ethical data-driven software development approach: there is now a built-in convenience action in the About dialog to allow you to email the raw photo of the latest scan to @pynicolas if you encounter examples of situations that cause the autodetection heuristics to fail. I've sent them a few samples today.

FairScan had a few releases over the past weeks.

1.12.0 focused on the camera screen experience:
- smoother document detection
- tap-to-focus
- flashlight state preserved

A quick 1.12.1 bugfix followed and added a Turkish translation.

1.13.0 improves the export screen:
- clearer layout and better feedback
- more reliable export handling
It also streamlines the scanning flow.

#FairScan is available on #FDroid and the Play Store.

FairScan 1.11.0 is out.

It includes:
- a new setting to control export quality
- a new way to report issues with the last captured image

I've also published a short post about the second point: how FairScan can be improved by letting users choose to share scans that don't look good.
