Great App Idea (Turn Camera Into Scanner)

Have you ever really needed a copy of a document or diagram? Usually the easiest way to do it is to take a quick picture of it with your phone. However, this usually results in poor quality pictures, misaligned text, improper framing etc.
What I propose is an application that corrects these problems like so:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
There are two open source tools that do it (http://unpaper.berlios.de/ and http://scantailor.sourceforge.net/ ). I was wondering if these could be ported to Android?

Did you try any of the other "scan" utilities on the market already available? Did you contact the dev's of those applications and see if they are working on a port or would be interested.

I can't find any scan utilities on Market... Do you have any names?

try Scan2PDF

}
Note: This doesn't work in some regions
And Sorry if i am wrong

Just make one thread and put all of your apps in there, instead of making 4 different threads.

This is cool.

@mattfmartin
Thanks for the idea i will do as from my next post onwards

this app not available in south africa

Academic databases and their APPs

Hi there,
as a scholar I use many academic databases (journals, books) for my studies. The best thing I recently discovered is, some of them nicely work with our beloved NSTR!
The first one is JSTOR: http://www.jstor.org/
It has no dedicated app, but their website nicely supports mobile view:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Very good Android app has ebrary: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ebrary
Works very well with the Nook! It has its own reader built in. You have to read online or have an account at Adobe Digital Editions to download the ebook.
EBSCOhost APP works also: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.ebsco.ehost
PDF articles (download failed, but you can send them to you via email) and full text articles (very nice, scrolling is working):
