  • In this video, I will show you how to scan documents using your Samsung Galaxy smartphone. I am using a Galaxy S20 Ultra in this video, but you can also use a Note 10 Plus, S10 Plus, Note 9, etc.
    Document scanning ability is built-in to most android based samsung galaxy smartphones, so it is free and works like a charm.

    Wow Saki!
    What a great way to digitize years' worth of old field notebooks, then get rid of them but still have all the data.
    The tripod you were using seemed great for setting up my S10 Note to do "mass production" digitation of page after page, notebook after notebook of handwritten notes.
    HOWEVER, I could not make out the brand/model of the tripod you used in your video. It sure seems better than anything I already have.
    I ALSO WONDER what success you have had in converting your digitized, handwritten notebooks to text for indexing, searching, and possibly printing sort-after pages in the future -- THE HOLY GRAIL of digitization.

    I didn't expect MIUI to do quite a few things better than OneUI when I bought a Xiaomi phone. The camera app in MIUI has a separate Document mode, it automatically detects the corners and saves the cropped photo instantly without the unnecessary steps here. It saves a lot of time when you have to scan many pages. And the smart detection here in OneUI doesn't always work.

    Hello, sir! I love this option. I have been using it for a long time. I was wondering if you know if I can manually make my camera recognize it as a document. There are things I need to scan that sometimes my phone doesn't recognize it as a document and won't bring up the option to scan. Sometimes it does this for my son's blueprints for his architectural engineering class. I really need it to do it and can't. Thanks ahead of time. I appreciate your video.

    This works AMAZING!... I've really have been TRYING to remember to scan ALL receipts/deposits etc... saves a lot of clutter! Even though I'm not comfortable with throwing away originals yet? I do file them at home quickly and know that I have a copy on me, if something comes into question! It's a great feature... I do wish Samsung would File them under Scanned Documents, etc... or maybe there's a way to get to them faster in My Files? But I do Tag Them... like Best Buy, March 29th/16in MacBook Pro... etc! So their easier to find!

  • @tomwilson7765
    @tomwilson7765 4 роки тому

    The scan tool is good and all but tiny scanner pro app is 1000x better in terms of quality because it has you move the camera to at least 4 different spots on the page/document and stitches it together for a perfect scan.

    Perfect! It would be nice to have something like that that could make PDF files too so you could add the front and back of driver's licenses, insurance cards, etc. Adobe Scan does, but it stores the information on their web site and of course that stuff is to private to do be able to do that. If it was a pdf you could store it in a password manager which is highly secure and private.

    I scrolled through some of the comments but did not see anything regarding distorted scans. If I scan a letter-sized page it squashes the scan vertical. The page is "shorter" and the text on page is compressed somewhat. Sort of like an 8.5x11 page becomes 8.5.x10 or 8.5x9 if that makes any sense?

I have a Samsung FE S20 and have been using the scanner (which came up automatically on my camera app.when detecting text) since I got my phone over a year ago. Today, I tried to scan a letter but the option to did not show, then I realized I had not seen thus in some time. I followed your instructions exactly, still it does not enable. Any idea what could be happened?? Thanks, Sasha.

I can then search for the store name from receipts and a lot of the time it'll pull up the receipts I'm looking for. It's not perfect but works more times than not.
