Actualmente utilizando y bien
FairScan – PDF Scanner (Scanea un documento para conseguir un PDF que guardar o enviar al instante) - https://f-droid.org/app/org.fairscan.app
Los escaneos que produce parecen fotocopias de alta calidad.

Más que MakeACopy (Escáner de documentos centrado en la privacidad con OCR y exportación de PDF) - https://f-droid.org/app/de.schliweb.makeacopy
Que también es muy bueno y útil pero los escaneos que produce parecen negativos de fotografías

Which is also very fine and useful but the scans it produces look like negatives of photographs

@jonathan859 Nice article. I had very similar experience a few months ago. My only difference is that I'm running this on Pixel 9A.

In order to give some more tips on what to explore next I'd say add @IzzyOnDroid repo to your f-droid install from apt.izzysoft.de/fdroid/

Then some nice and accessible #opensource apps are:
@AntennaPod
#auroraStore as a google play alternative,
#catima - a privacy respecting app for lojalty cards,
@davx5app - contacts / calendar sync from your own server if you wish to slowly stop using google for that,
#fairEmail - nice very accessible email client,
#makeacopy - for scanning paper documents,
#newpipe - for playing youtube / bandcamp / soundcloud content,
#openKeichain - for signing / encrypting your emails with fairEmail,
#rsaf - for connecting to various cloud storage services including your own smb / ftp / webdav servers,
sms import export,
Speak that! if the talkback notification presentation is not enough,
walkers guide - nice navigation app
Ytdlnis - an yt-dlp frontent.

Perhaps there are more but I have browsed my apps list and recommended what I think is essential.

Privacy-focused document scanner with OCR and PDF export

I couldn't find a good #floss #scanning app for years. But in just two months, @fdroidorg gained two such apps: #FairScan (incredibly user friendly) and #MakeACopy (if you need #OCR, and also good). 😃

Yesterday an open-source developer Christian has released life changing update to the privacy respecting #android app called #MakeACopy. The app now features so called #accessibility mode that is enabling #screenReader users to take pictures of the paper documents independently.
Accessibility guide is available on github.
The latest prerelease version provides clear Accessibility guidance phrases with screen readers such as Talkback, Corvus, Jieshuo and others that can handle announcement accessibility event.

I am verry happy about this. We are now getting privacy respecting open-source based screen reader accessible solution that performs very well and is easy to use.

The prerelease version can be downloaded at
github.com/egdels/makeacopy/re…
