MakeACopy
* New: every setting now lives in one options dialog, grouped into collapsible sections.
* New: the low-light flashlight prompt can be switched off ("Don't ask again" or in the camera options).
* Fixed: the bottom button bars span the full width and reach the bottom edge of the screen.
* Fixed: short messages no longer cover the buttons; they appear above the button bar and follow the light or dark theme.
* Fixed: camera preview and photo sometimes shrank to a landscape strip.
Features:
• Camera scanning: Capture documents using your device’s camera
• Edge detection: Automatic document boundary detection using OpenCV, enhanced by a custom-trained ONNX inference model
• Perspective correction: Manually or automatically adjust document perspective
• Grayscale export: Optional grayscale filter applied during PDF creation
• OCR: Offline text recognition using PaddleOCR in the published paddle flavor
• PDF export: Save scanned documents as searchable PDFs
• Share & save: Export locally or share via other apps
• Dark mode: System-based Material 3 theme with light and dark appearance
• Privacy-focused: Fully offline — no data leaves your device
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.
