Your scans, text, and data stay 100 % on your device.

Main features
• 📸 Camera scanning — Capture documents with your device camera
• 🖼️ Edge detection — Automatic document boundary detection using OpenCV
• 📐 Perspective correction — Adjust document shape automatically or manually

The F-Droid and Google Play listings provide the paddle flavor with PaddleOCR. The standard flavor with Tesseract remains available through GitHub Releases for users who still need Tesseract language data or workflows.
Every component is open source and respects your privacy.

Comments on MakeACopy Offline OCR Scanner for Android

★★★★☆ Nicolas · Feb 16, 2026

I am giving a 4 to support the initiative of privacy respecting OCR app, but it does not work well enough to be usable for now. I tried to scan a text on a normal desktop screen and the scan returns a lot of mistakes. The cropping is also not convenient. I hope it can reach the level of usability of Google Translate one day.

★★★★★ Paul H. · Jun 2, 2026

Scans to PDF. Simple is good. Open source and no ads or tracking.

★★★★★ John Hoyne · Oct 5, 2025

Great app for scanning and recognizing text for documents, receipts, etc. Best I've come across. Not overburdened with options is a big plus, it carries out its core function elegantly and straightforwardly. Thank you! 🌟

★★★★★ Tony m · Mar 9, 2026

Fantastic Talk Back screen reader accessibility, now serving as my default scanning tool.

★☆☆☆☆ . · Jun 1, 2026

Update: Your reply is incorrect. My scans are stored elsewhere. I am referring to the size of the APP itself which has almost doubled with this update....... Original review: Why is it taking up an increasing amount of space??
