I've had dark mode set for Google apps, I believe, and haven't had an issue with Docs in particular until yesterday. Nonetheless, Google Drive app gets the job done for simple scans.Hey there, I'm using a Lenovo Duet and overall love its versatility since I got it several months ago, despite the smallish keyboard. In terms of sheer quality, I would still prefer Office Lens as it is a bit more flexible and intelligent when it comes to recognizing the document size. Adding pages to the PDF is for me the highlight here, you can go ahead and attach multiple documents together without the need for installing another application at all. Direct syncing with Google Drive will also eliminate the need for uploading the files separately now. Though document scanning feature was added long ago, a whole lot of users are unaware of this update. Drive’s OCR technology works pretty well but it messes with the formatting.

You can also manually convert the scanned image into editable text by right clicking on the uploaded document and selecting Open with > Google Docs.

The OCR text will also be searchable in Drive. Drive will now create a document for your scanned file which will have text along with the image. To recognize text from images or to use OCR functionality, head over to Drive settings and enable “Convert Uploaded files to Google Docs editor format”. As a workaround, you can perform a screenshot and get the image file. #. Although it doesn’t allow saving the image directly if you’re offline. Tap the tick icon and the scanned image or document will be uploaded as PDF to your Drive account. Enter the settings which contain some advanced tunings including image enhancement, the paper size which range from A4 to US Letter or you can just alter the paper orientation. You can delete the particular page, rename the scan, rotate or personalize some core settings. There are a couple of other actions available under the three dots menu on top. To capture the picture again, you can click the retry icon on the bottom or you can add more pages in resultant PDF through the “+” option.
