Hello everyone, I have a few old pictures I was hoping to get scanned onto my phone, I know that Photo Scan by Google does a good job, but I was hoping for a libre alternative to use first. Would anyone know of any?

Worst case scenario, I don't give Photo Scan internet access, but was still wondering what else is out there. Thanks!

the thing with PhotoScan is that it's much more accurate for scanning photos. it requires you to take scans of four corners of each photo, and uses different angles to reduce the glare and correct the perspective and so on.

I see, that's pretty neat, unfortunately I don't think there's anything else like that yet
