Google is late to the party. Even Microsoft had such an app years ago.

They rolled it into the rather clunky Office Mobile app some time ago (now called Microsoft 365)

There is a standalone app, Microsoft Lens. Surprisingly good app.

My Oppo Reno z has had this for a couple years now, baked into its camera app.

I can’t figure out how to enable the document scanner by default. I can only get it to work by pointing my camera at something and waiting for it recognize that it might be a document and then ask if I want to scan it.

Google Drive app -> New (in the bottom right corner) -> Scan. It’s not supposed to be a part of the camera app, that’s just a useful shortcut.

Shoutout to my favorite open-source app that does this, OSS Document Scanner!

Does Enhance increase resolution like Movies/TV said it would?
