What Scanaro is

Scanaro is a freemium offline Android app that turns paper documents into searchable PDFs and selectable text on the device. Automatic edge detection and perspective correction prepare scans of items such as receipts, ID cards, contracts and class notes. On-device OCR extracts text without network requests, and that text can be exported as a PDF or plain text file. Multiple pages can be combined into one PDF, while searches can run across saved documents and scanned PDFs. Scanaro keeps scans, PDFs and extracted text in the app’s private device storage; the maker says other apps cannot access it. The maker also says the app collects, uploads or shares no user data, has no ads or tracking, and adds no watermark. Camera access is requested for scanning, and no internet permission is declared. Scanaro requires Android 7.0 or later and is linked through Google Play. Deleted documents, cleared app data or an uninstalled app cannot be recovered, so users must maintain backups.

Who it suits

Scanaro suits Android users who want local document scanning, OCR, searchable PDFs and text exports without network requests. It is also suited to people scanning receipts, identification, contracts or notes.
