[FEATURE REQUEST]The automatic scan function NEEDS to wait for the gyroscope

Yes. Wait until the camera is not shaking god damnit.

Describe the solution you'd like
A clear and concise description of what you want to happen.
I want it to wait until im not moving my hands anymore. I have shaky hands and it takes me a second or two to mostly stabilize them. Its not too bad, the images are still mostly readable, but they look amateurish because of how fuzzy they get, since the camera cannot get a clear shot, and it wont fucking wait until i can give it a good shot

Its ancient and has two serious bugs which i posted there and it hasnt been updated in three years. Would have been a better option than this otherwise.

@NastyFlytrap does that app supports what you want?
Otherwise it is not easy to implement. The gyroscope will never return you being still, bu that i mean it is very sensitive. So it would require a filter to get it to find a "stable enough" position. Which could require a lot of work and testing.

However i like the idea. If you find already existing implementations i can do it quite quickly

Sadly no. It works differently. It just uses the camera, i think it directly links to the default camera app and routes the image back into itself, or maybe it uses its own internal camera app to take photos, and then you crop that, and with good black and white filtering it looks really nice actually.

I cant use it because it has a critical bug, which is that rotating an image downsamples it significantly, so if you press rotate three times it just turns into six pixels. Plus it defaults to the selfie camera for some dumb reason. Both that and this achieve the same end goal but they get to that with different steps. OSS document scanner is good too, i just cant take good photos because its very hasty in how fast it takes the image, and setting a fixed limit feels inflexible, with sometimes me needing more time and other times im just sitting there and waiting. Im not even old, i just rolled poorly on dexterity...

I get that fine tuning this would take quite a while and i honestly appreciate that you responded, but, i dont think i can offer a satisfying answer. Im sorry

@NastyFlytrap dont be sorry. We will get it to work for you! If your issue is with the way the camera focus is currently handled we might find another app which does it right for you for which i can look at the code.
OssDoc uses androidx camera library which is also used by many open source apps (los camera app, https://github.com/GrapheneOS/Camera, https://github.com/FossifyOrg/Camera). If one of those apps works fine for you i might be able to look at the code to see what s different

The problem is that it cannot focus because my hands are not steady, and OSS document scanner doesnt wait for it to be steady, or for it to stop moving. It focuses perfectly fine when just put the phone half on the table with the lenses pointing down, because in that scenario its perfectly stable

@NastyFlytrap what if add an option to disable auto focus and let you only focus on tap?

How does one focus by tapping?

[farfromrefug]

@NastyFlytrap simply click on the view. It will show a circle where you tapped and the camera will focus at that point
