3. Ver­ify that edges have been cor­rectly detected.
If the edge detec­tion mis­cal­cu­lates a cor­ner, you can drag it to match
the doc­u­ments edges by point­ing at the pink line with your fin­ger.
You can rotate the doc­u­ment by hold­ing one fin­ger and then mak­ing a cir­cle.

  1. This seems nice and OCR works sur­pris­ingly well so far. How­ever I wished it would be a more straight for­ward process. Worse — I don’t see a way to for­ward just the scanned text results.

    If I con­vert and mail just a sim­ple para­graph it cre­ates a 1MB PDF doc­u­ment (that is search­able in google docs) whereas the text is maybe 100 words (=a few bytes).

    Please give an option to export just the OCR result. Thanks.
