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.

Thank you Saki...finally can scan with my S10. Had to go into settings and enable what you demonstrated. Much obliged.

Cool. Didn't know this was available in the native camera app. I always used Google drive to scan all of my documents. Nice to know that there's another option! Thanks!

Thanks for your videos. Not sure what happened to my document scanner on my phone but after watching your video, I figured out the glitch. Thanks again 😊

@jfitzpatrick6108 4 жыл бұрын

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.

Actually a really useful feature for me. I always have to take pictures of my receipts and resize the images for work. Now I just need to trade in this damn iPhone. I’ve always been an iPhone fan but I had a galaxy s9 for awhile and sold it. I’ve missed that phone ever since lol. Keep the videos coming, awesome job 😎👍

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.

@jenw.3312 3 жыл бұрын

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!

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.

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 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?

This feature apparently OCRs words into the meta info on the scan. I scan a lot of receipts and they get backed up to Google photos. 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.

@ianyorke2617 4 жыл бұрын

It detects the document, applies a crop to the detected document which normally only takes up part of the frame. Because it is difficult to adjust the phone so that it is perpendicular to the document the rectangular document is registered as distorted (trapezoidal) Samsung apply a transform adjustment, like you might do in Photoshop, to produce a rectangular undistorted copy of your document. Very handy.

What does it mean when it highlights the document but doesn't offer a tap to scan button. It is a very clear image, good size text, displayed on at TV screen, looking straight at the image. I have identical images, just different words that it offers the tap to scan if you play with it.
