HELP please

I find that I need to scan documents using my Android phone. I need y'all to recommend one. I do prefer FOSS programs and I do check for creepy permissions.

Thanks

I remember using Microsoft Office Lens some years ago which I considered really good for that purpose. Even if the picture was taken at an angle, it would adjust it to a flat PDF. I uninstalled years ago and I've not needed this function since then so haven't really kept up with FOSS alternatives.

My stock photo app will do flattening. I don't know what is stock for a Samsung S10, so I don't know if it is Samsung-specific or not.

I expect that a print to PDF will just be a PDF with a picture on the page. Are you wanting it to go through an OCR process so that there is actual text being rendered instead of a picture of text?
