Components
Open Note Scanner is an open source scanner that lets you scan and save your documents with your android phone. To improve this app the following features and improvements has to be implemented.
- Improve scan quality
- Add print button
- Editing
- Secure documents
Proposal
First of all the scan quality is relatively poor as compared to other android scan apps. The auto edge detection functionality in low light needs to be improved too. And the image quality needs to be improved.
A print button needs to be added to the application so that the users can directly print the scanned documents.
The users should be provided with the edit features so that they can add annonations and watermarks to the scanned documents.
The feature to add password to the documents should be added so that users can secure their documents with a password.
Mockups / Examples
The scanned document with Open Note Scanner looks like this.
When the same piece was captured by my default camera with same device it looks like this. It means the quality can be improved.
On adding print button it will look like this.
The edit feature on open scanner will look as below.
On adding the password feature it will look as the following illustration.
Benefits
On improving the scan quality it will help users get a clear copy of their documents without having to run for other scanner hardwares.
The print feature will help users directly print the documents from their phone to the nearest wireless printer.
The edit feature will help the users add watermarks and annonations for their original documents.
Secure feature will help the users protect their important documents from unauthorised people who use their phone.
