What is a good FOSS Android app to scan documents and immediately convert them to pdfs? On Microsoft Lens, you can take multiple scans and also merge different ones together to create a combined PDF. Thanks.

    Lens is the one thing I still use from Microsoft. None of the competition works nearly as well for b&w/greyscale plus angle correction and multiple PDF pages.

    On top of that it is completely local, doesn’t make you sign into an account, doesn’t ask for location access, and doesn’t phone home (at least what I have been able to see).

    The only thing that Microsoft makes that I will choose over open source alternatives. Knock on wood that they don’t change it.

      Have you tried Google stacks?

      It’s quite solid, but I’ve not used lens to compare it to.

      Obviously the privacy is no better, but it exists.
