An Easy And Quick Way To Scan Documents on Android

 How many of you knew about the built-in document scanner feature in Google? I would say very few or none. It is good news for Android users, as the Drive app is preinstalled on the device. Android users can easily scan their documents directly from the device, which replaces the need to download another document scanner application. Users can also install more actual applications for better document editing and scanning experience on the device, and there are many apps available in the market. 


From the time of innovating smartphone features with attractive cameras, the mobile app developers started including innovative ways of scanning documents and digitizing documents, especially for those who were a bit beyond the reach of the scanner. Over time, these applications have enhanced the same functions and have included color correction and editing documents. Now, the mobile scanners do look like real ones, and the users with two operating systems, Android and iOS, would not need to download different applications for scanning documents. You can take these two Files apps, and iOS notes are given the features of scanning documents. And the same goes for the Google Drive Android. 

Google has given Android users an option to ease their work by introducing the inbuilt scanner and the Drive app and Google account already installed on the phone. You might be wondering about the process, so here it is: to scan a document, you will need to click on the Add icon (+ sign), located in the right corner of the bottom side. Then the ‘Scan’ sign will appear, which will open the camera of the device. After capturing the image of the document, the app will suggest a bar with editing indications, and it will include rotating, color correcting, and cropping. The scan documents are saved in the Drive account by default. 


What are the alternatives for Android users?

While other applications offer a lot of options, the Drive’s scanner does not. You can take this, for example, as the app creates problems while capturing the wanted part of the document. It selects the parts automatically, which later results in the part cropped out of the document. The similarities between Stack and Drive are pretty close. The Stack is an external app that Google launched in March, but it offers some options like better organization and tags to add in the scan. 

Other than the two scanners of Google, Android users also can install outsider apps in need of scanning documents. You can also use Microsoft Lens, which is pretty popular among other options and is available to use regardless of Microsoft subscription. Microsoft Lens also includes the feature of adjusting borders after scanning the document, which is pretty good. 

Along with the regular features available in the device for editing, there are options to utilize digital pen and text tools. However, it stores the document straight in the device, but users of OneDrive can store the scanned document in the cloud.


There is one more popular option for you to take into consideration, which is ‘Adobe Scan.’ It is much similar to the Lens, and it does not need a subscription to operate. The application has excellent features such as editing options, and most importantly, you can clear out the blemishes in the document. The Adobe Scan also offers the features to scan the forms, and also you can fill out the forms via Adobe Acrobat Reader. The application has the feature of capturing the information from business cards and other documents, making it easy for Android users to store helpful information.
