This is very nice. Having a low-dimension page warping model to optimize seems to be what makes this work.

This is a good YC-sized problem - weeks to market, a few hundred thousand dollars to launch. Apple has a phone app for this which requires too much manual adjustment, and Microsoft has Office Lens / Microsoft Lens, which has comments such as "The edges just eventually go crazy and look horrendous". So there's a market for one that Just Works. Exit by selling to the usual suspects.



I’ve scanned probably thousands of pages with ms lens over the years and it works quite reliably in my experience, at least on iPhone.


SwiftScan does pretty well in my experience.
