What Doc Scanner Pro is

Doc Scanner Pro is a free, open-source Android app for capturing, processing, organizing, and exporting physical documents while keeping its core work on the device. It supports automatic or manual scanning of single pages and multipage documents, with workflows for books, receipts, ID cards, business cards, and general documents. Book mode recognizes an open spread, corrects perspective, and separates both pages in one scan session. Editing tools provide cropping, rotation, grayscale and black-and-white conversion, contrast and brightness controls, document enhancement, and shadow reduction. Local OCR uses Tesseract 5 with English and Hindi data included. The app can create searchable PDFs, merge or split PDFs, and export OCR text, plain text, Markdown, DOCX, CSV, or JSON. Folders, favorites, tags, sorting, filtering, and local full-text search organize scans, while a private local vault adds protected storage. The project says no account, cloud service, backend, analytics or advertising SDK, or Internet permission is required. Files remain on the device unless you choose Android sharing, export, or printing. The MIT-licensed project includes F-Droid packaging files, although upstream F-Droid distribution requires review. Optional donations support development, but the app remains fully functional without them.
