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 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:

#FairScan #Android #FOSS #ImageProcessing

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?"
https://fairscan.org/blog/what-s-a-good-scan/

#FairScan #OpenSource #ImageProcessing

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!

#fairScan #paperlessNGX #android #apps #openSource #osDev

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.

Details and instructions here: https://www.fairscan.org/blog/learning-from-failed-scans/

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.

Proprio in questi giorni ho avuto bisogno di scannerizzare dei documenti con il telefono e la mia ricerca su #fdroid mi ha portato su #FairScan
Credo sia un'applicazione utile e molto interessante

RE: https://mastodon.social/ap/users/115798797692983811/statuses/115824864505908104

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.

New blog post: FairScan can now be called from other apps

FairScan now exposes a simple intent so other Android apps can trigger a scan-to-PDF flow.

Users of ODKCollect and KoboCollect apps can already use it.

#Android #FairScan

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). 😃

Hello Mastodon 👋

I'm an independent software engineer working on FairScan, an open source document scanner for Android.

I write occasionally about both the human and technical sides of the project, including image processing, datasets, and what "respectful software" can mean in practice. I try to keep these posts short and readable, focusing on the problems I face and how I approach them.

All posts are here:

#FairScan #OpenSource

Such a great android scanner app: #FairScan

https://fairscan.org/

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
