Great App thanks for the link. I've found that if the settings are changed it can cause a crash, but it may be that I'm running Android 14 whereby OCR is optimized for 13.

That's a really good one. It handles low contrast text like a champ.

OSS Document Scanner and it can work with Network permissions disabled on Graphene OS.
