Built-In DOCUMENT SCANNER for your Samsung Galaxy Smartphone (S20, Note 10, S10, etc) 

Thanks Saki, my S10+ just keeps getting better with your tips, love it even more after a year of purchasing :) Cheers

Thank you for the useful tip , but this would have been better if we could have the functionality to save the document as a pdf , which is more commonly used than an image file

I didn't expect MIUI to do quite a few things better than OneUI when I bought a Xiaomi phone. The camera app in MIUI has a separate Document mode, it automatically detects the corners and saves the cropped photo instantly without the unnecessary steps here. It saves a lot of time when you have to scan many pages. And the smart detection here in OneUI doesn't always work.

Thank you for ur video!! I literally almost paid $3.99 weekly or $69.00 yearly just to download a scanning app for my attorney to receive documents...Im not tech savvy but u definitely helped me 😊

Thank you Saki...finally can scan with my S10. Had to go into settings and enable what you demonstrated. Much obliged.

Actually a really useful feature for me. I always have to take pictures of my receipts and resize the images for work. Now I just need to trade in this damn iPhone. I’ve always been an iPhone fan but I had a galaxy s9 for awhile and sold it. I’ve missed that phone ever since lol. Keep the videos coming, awesome job 😎👍

Hello, sir! I love this option. I have been using it for a long time. I was wondering if you know if I can manually make my camera recognize it as a document. There are things I need to scan that sometimes my phone doesn't recognize it as a document and won't bring up the option to scan. Sometimes it does this for my son's blueprints for his architectural engineering class. I really need it to do it and can't. Thanks ahead of time. I appreciate your video.

Hey Saki, I've learned so much about my note 9 since I started watching your channel, your knowledge is unmatched. Thank you for every single tip,trick and tutorial. I never could understand why people paid such outrageous prices for a cellphone. Now after obtaining and getting personal with my note 9; my mind is fully blown

Thanks for your videos. Not sure what happened to my document scanner on my phone but after watching your video, I figured out the glitch. Thanks again 😊

You just saved me so much time with documents.

Perfect! It would be nice to have something like that that could make PDF files too so you could add the front and back of driver's licenses, insurance cards, etc. Adobe Scan does, but it stores the information on their web site and of course that stuff is to private to do be able to do that. If it was a pdf you could store it in a password manager which is highly secure and private.

This is awesome. Thanks Saki. Does this work for multiple page scanning and can we use this function while in whatsapp as an attachment?

I know this is about Samsung, but doing this in Google drive is much easier. Using Google Drive allows you to use to quickly upload the document (and if you choose to use the quick menu to upload the document.) The document will be uploaded as a PDF which can then be edited.

“Who else likes watching Sakitech💎” (I hope you are doing well!)

Thank you so much man!..you saved me soooo many trips to the fax machine!

Nice to know but Google Drive, and Adobe can do it with one button as a PDF which is what is preferred business format, especially for audits.

Damn I love Samsung devices(preferably note 10+). You can do soooooooooo much on this phone. Puzzles me why people are still getting iPhones

Cool. Didn't know this was available in the native camera app. I always used Google drive to scan all of my documents. Nice to know that there's another option! Thanks!

Thank u I got it, with the COVID 19 ...I have avoided going out to outsource

Wow. This is very helpful. It's perfectly working on my Samsung Galaxy A50s.

amazing and thank you for sharing this easy to follow system for scans

Thank you sakitech for your good work. The scan preview doesn't work on my galaxy note 10 plus is there any option I forgot?

The scan tool is good and all but tiny scanner pro app is 1000x better in terms of quality because it has you move the camera to at least 4 different spots on the page/document and stitches it together for a perfect scan. Nice vid Sak!

Saki, do you have a suggestion as to how to troubleshoot the document scanner when it is NOT TURNING ON? I have a Samsung FE S20 and have been using the scanner (which came up automatically on my camera app.when detecting text) since I got my phone over a year ago. Today, I tried to scan a letter but the option to did not show, then I realized I had not seen thus in some time. I followed your instructions exactly, still it does not enable. Any idea what could be happened?? Thanks, Sasha.

Thank you for this i didn't know how to scan documents from UK stay safe.

Thank you, instruction super clear!! I'm subscribing!!

This works AMAZING!... I've really have been TRYING to remember to scan ALL receipts/deposits etc... saves a lot of clutter! Even though I'm not comfortable with throwing away originals yet? I do file them at home quickly and know that I have a copy on me, if something comes into question! It's a great feature... I do wish Samsung would File them under Scanned Documents, etc... or maybe there's a way to get to them faster in My Files? But I do Tag Them... like Best Buy, March 29th/16in MacBook Pro... etc! So their easier to find!

Thank bro your very helpful on a lot of your videos

Scanned doc saved as jpg or pdf?

Wow! Tried it on my note 9. Still great phone.

can you save it as pdf though?

Great video. So what is the difference from taking a photo of the document??

Thanks! Great video. I turned this off by accident. So helpful!

I prefer to use scan in Google drive. It saves documents in PDF format instead of jpeg.

what about documents that have many pages that I would like to scan in to one pdf file? as opposed to many pictures of just one file? tks

Other than it removes a step (cut-and-paste) from taking a photo and editing, what is the point of scan? Are the files smaller than a photo?

Is this feature available on both the exynos and snapdragon version? Or only on the snapdragon version?

Luv your videos. Always professionally done and very helpful tips.

Thank you very much.

Good tip. Maybe some vids. about Developer Options.

Thank you so much From KSA 👍💚🇸🇦🌹

Sir, on the S20...once you've scanned the documents. How can you make the size of it smaller, let's say, like less than 2mb?

Lots of questions on here. Does Saki ever answer these?? Just curious.

Thank you sakitech, good video as always.

Same as taking a photo of the document. What are the additional benefits?

doesnt work on my s21+ or s20FE. Not sure if there has been an update that removes this feature but it doesnt work as indicated in the video

A preview of the scanned document doesn't appear. Are there settings for that?

This feature apparently OCRs words into the meta info on the scan. I scan a lot of receipts and they get backed up to Google photos. I can then search for the store name from receipts and a lot of the time it'll pull up the receipts I'm looking for. It's not perfect but works more times than not.

Do you know if there is a way to scan double sided or will I have to scan both sides?

thank you. any ideas why it sometimes gives me the scan option and sometimes not? my blue circle and there and all the things you say in this video. it's very frustrating. thanks for any ideas.

Thanks...very informative and to the point.

Does it save as a jpg or pdf? How does it compare to the scanners from Microsoft, Google and paid third party apps (CamScanner, etc).

Thx for your very useful tips. Unfortunately the scan option is very primitive (works only if recognize automatically, no manual starting, can't scan multiple pages etc) so no need to bother with it...

Thanks for explaining

Hay guys ! I own Note 9 512GB about 3 weeks and its on Android 8.1.0 version ! Should I upgrade to new version to have this feature because on factory version this feature not exist ! Thanks for any advice ! One more ? Can any here guys have an experience about upgrading to new Android for my new Note 9 512GB 8.1.0 ! Does phone run faster or even slowly ? I am not sure about it so I will stay with 8.1.0 version on Note 9 ! Can you scaned document convert in PDF ? Nice presentation !

Thank you my dude!

Thanks, mine seems to have disappeared. How does this print, does a grey background apper?

It’s not giving me an option for adjustments after scan it automatically saves as image.how can I fix this

Excelent video ty amigo mio

How does this feature perform with photos? I hope to use them for a short video feature. Any advice? I'll try it and report.

Hi Sak, thanks for the tip. Now my note 10+ doesn't do the preview to fine tune. What am I doing wrong?

I scrolled through some of the comments but did not see anything regarding distorted scans. If I scan a letter-sized page it squashes the scan vertical. The page is "shorter" and the text on page is compressed somewhat. Sort of like an 8.5x11 page becomes 8.5.x10 or 8.5x9 if that makes any sense?

Wowwww useful tips...!!! Thanks

I have a Note 10plus and have setting done as you have shown. I do not get a scan button to select. Thoughts?

Thank you. I needed your help😃

Hello sir, Please describe which gadgets use with your phone in description. It is also help us.

Very useful tip. Thanks.

My phone is saying scan documents is off when I try to scan it, but I have it enabled as you showed.

Good video but wow once trying to use it, it was nowhere as easy to use as my personal fav Mobile Doc Scanner. It lets you change types of docs, and numerous other features. Nice that this is available but I agree with others that it's basically a jpg but labeled as a document 🙄. Can't make it a PDF etc. Not that helpful but that's Samsung not sak! Thanks for taking the time to explain and help us users out!

Mine seems to switch itself off periodically I couldn't find how to switch it back on - even with a search in the settings. Thank you!

can you scan photos? I'm looking to scan some old paper photos.

Thank you so much for saving my life😀

Great, thanks

What does it mean when it highlights the document but doesn't offer a tap to scan button. It is a very clear image, good size text, displayed on at TV screen, looking straight at the image. I have identical images, just different words that it offers the tap to scan if you play with it.

My Note 20 Ultra seems to make documents blurry. My Note 10 Plus was much better. Really regretted trading in during the pre order. Should have waited for reviews

Can multiple documents be sent through the scan if you're sending them through email ?

Excellent

I like your clips, Sakitech

So after I make the scan, then what? Can I edit the document? What's the difference between scanning the document and taking a picture?

What's the difference between this and just taking a picture of the document?

Great tip! thank you!

The Scene Optimizer tab can only be enabled or disabled but does not select to the Document Scan page in the Note 9.

Thanks, was helpful

Great tip... Great Video!

Thank you so much didn't know I could do this

How to get that scanned document converted to pdf and save the pdf in gallery in a folder? Is there any built in feature for tat

Need free video editing software or application for galaxy note 10 plus

When I scan any document using my note 10 it looks exactly as it is unlike the iPhone looks like it was scanned by a scanner and it even improves the photo in case your shadow was there, any idea?

I updated my phone recently and now the blue "t" box is gone with the option to scan my photos into a document. I went to my settings and followed your directions, but I'm still not seeing the option as I did prior to my update. I used this option nearly everyday. Can you help me restore it? 😊

👌🙏✊ Crisp & clear.

hey, can you check on a document scan on a galaxy s21 ultra. i cant get to to work on mine. thanks

I get no option to save or delete it automatically saves it to my gallery photo I can not adjust image like your video using note 10 plus

What I find difficult, is when the background is not a contrasting color , (similar to white, or page color) tap to scan does not appear, any solutions to scan if you do not have access to what you want to scan and place it in a more contrasting setting? (or any app that can help with that? Samsung galaxy note 9 user here)

I had noticed my Note 10 doing this automatically, but didn't know it was documented. Are these scans machine readable?

I'm beginning to familiarize my a50s features. Perhaps, I should delete those third-party scanner app for good. 👍👍

Saved me, thanks a lot!

will it work with anythine i.e chore lists?

@sakitech>>>>What is the brand and model of your phone holder??

Although good video but can u clear one thing when scan the doc but didn't ask for adjustment, n I'm using S10+

I'm on a VERIZON S9 software version g965usqs7csk5 But don't see the 'document scan' option. Is this an update thing that I'll get later, or am I missing something?
