I dont scan stuff often but I used Lense. It was annoying before but it did its jobs: I can take pictures of my documents and it automatically cropped out and joined together as a pdf.

I need to scan something today and so try to use Lens. Holy shit it is soooo annoying now:

Must sign in to MS account
Must download an additional app: The MS 365 Copilot app. The app still has the tag (Beta) on the Play store fyi…
It is not easy to choose where you want to save the documents. Now every pdfs default to Documents/Office Lense. .Or maybe we can still choose. Idk i uninstalled the apps after scanning.

I mean, Google Drive can do it. The files go into your Drive storage.

I imagine that’s not your first choice. But it does work.

Other posters have better open source options, I’m sure.

Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
