   FairScan vs CamScanner Comments

   Positive comment by echtintelligenteruhu · Jul 5, 2026

   It has really good scan quality, something other alternatives often fail at. It's minimalistic and just works.

   OSS Document Scanner vs CamScanner Comments

   Positive comment by Sam Lander · Jan 26, 2024

   OSS Document Scanner is more lightweight, and has better filters. It condenses the files similarly as CamScanner, but the text is more clear.

   The only problem is that for my phone (GrapheneOS), I have to take photos with camera and import them in the app, because for whatever reason it makes the images blurry when I take the photo in the app itself. This may be because of my Android operating system.

   But it's smaller, open-source, and outputs better images (textbook pages).
