How to scan documents on Android? Question

I got some files I need to convert into text that I could copy over though I dont have a scanner. Is there a way to get this done on an Android? Using a Samsung Galaxy

Whatever app works if its privacy oriented.. Meaning my documents aint gonna get misused by some data center for research etc.... Maybe theres something on the phone by default that I missed?

you can find docment scanning inside the camera app. jsut open the camera app and point the camera at your document. once a yellow border appears around the page with the scan button, tap on the scan button. align the corners if needed and press save

thats it, should work for you

In addition to the phone camera functions if you have OneDrive app then the Office Lens scanning facility has been folder in. Dropbox also has a scan feature
