I’d like to suggest genius scan for DavidE as an app to try out. Great edge detection.

@Watsona

suggest genius scan for DavidE

What (who?) is “DavidE”?

Presumably @MacSparky, who has at times asked for users to flag scanner apps they like?

I just use Apple Notes to scan documents now. You can save the scan as a pdf if you want to keep it permanently in your file system.

The EagleFiler app running on my 2018 MacBook Pro knows how to scan documents on my iPhone XS. No installation or setup was required for the phone. (It uses the built-in macOS Continuity feature.)

I’m not speaking for David, but I think Genius Scan’ document border detection by far the best. After Macstories featured Genius Scan, I decided to have a look on scanner apps. I tried Apple Notes, iSolid’s Quickscan, Scanner Pro trial and Genius Scan. My test was scanning some citizenship documents, some of the papers are already yellow, or the actual color is yellow. Some of them has ornaments near the border. I then share to DTTG3 and Onedrive. My phone is embedded to selfie stick with ju…

Up until I realized that OneDrive comes with this “Microsoft Lens” (also available as separate app) that has even better edge detection.

I keep both of them installed on my phone. Genius Scan has good edge detection and better UX (auto detect and capture, document manager). OneDrive with Ms Lens has better edge detection, and integration with OneDrive.
