Google Drive
is one such app that’s made by Google. It has integrated
document-scanning and OCR capabilities. Snap a photo of a document and a
PDF copy of the document will be saved to Google Drive. It will also
use the power of Google’s servers to perform OCR on the documents,
making it searchable in your Drive.
To do this, open the Drive app on your phone, open its menu, and tap Add New. Tap the Scan option in the list to scan and upload a document. Note that you could also add the Drive widget to your home screen and tap the camera icon on it to quickly open the Scan interface — this is useful if you frequently want to scan documents.
You’ll now see the scanner interface. Point your camera at a document and tap the button to scan it into Google Drive.
The great thing about this sort of app is that it’s not just a photo — Drive will extract the document part from the rest of the photo so it can be saved separately as a PDF file. You’re free to rotate and crop the document before saving it to your Drive.
