Description
Build your own Android and iOS document scanner. Bento Scan includes Flutter source for on-device edge detection, automatic capture, perspective correction, page flattening, and multipage PDF export. A self-hosted FastAPI backend adds OCR in 100+ languages, searchable PDFs, and a cloud library. Includes web dashboard, Docker deployment, and a white-label guide. Core capture works offline; backend OCR and storage need a server.

Could you build this?
Partial The UI and FastAPI backend are straightforward, but computer vision for real-time mobile edge detection, perspective transformation, and page dewarping requires specialized native/OpenCV tuning.
What it would actually take: A functional mobile scanner requires real-time OpenCV or CoreML/MLKit integration running on-device camera feeds to detect document quadrilaterals at 30+ FPS, correct perspective, and apply adaptive thresholding and dewarping algorithms. The backend integrates Tesseract or PaddleOCR within a queue-based asynchronous processing pipeline (Celery/Redis) with PDF generation libraries.
