For years I have been hoping for a FLOSS alternative to "Adobe Scan", the Android app to scan receipts (essentially) with automatic cropping + deskewing + cleanups + OCR, and there was nothing similar I could find in F-Droid… until three months ago, where #FairScan just materialized out of the blue, and I discovered it today: https://www.fairscan.org

Your turn, #LinuxMobile, time to make #GNOME's "Simple Scan" application "camera-ready" 😉 https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/simple-scan/-/issues/344

FairScan - Simple & Respectful Document Scanner for Android

@nekohayo I've previously been using https://github.com/Akylas/OSS-DocumentScanner?tab=readme-ov-file, is there something wrong with that one?

@anselmschueler …that it was not on F-Droid, therefore undiscoverable / "did not exist"

Tried it out now, interesting app, lots of features, seems like a good alternative too.

If I were to find "something wrong" with "OSS Document Scanner", it would be that it is MIT-licensed instead of GPL, which allows anyone to turn it into a proprietary version AFAIK.
