Why not use the smartphone camera for document capture?
- The camera cannot automatically detect edges, requiring manual cropping, which adds complexity to the process.
- The resulting image quality may be poor and may not match the clarity achieved with Tiny Scanner scans.
- You may need additional tools to convert the file format, adding extra steps and inconveniences.
- Files stored in the photos lack security protection and may be easily lost or accessed by others.
- Locating a specific document quickly in the photos can be challenging, especially in urgent situations.
