BeamDoc: PDF Scanner & OCR

Turn paper into searchable PDFs in seconds — without sending a single page to the cloud.
BeamDoc is a private, on-device document scanner built for receipts, IDs, contracts, notes, and books.

📄 WHAT BEAMDOC DOES
• Auto-detects page edges and corrects perspective as you shoot
• Cleans up shadows, glare, and uneven lighting with built-in filters
• Reads English text from scanned pages (OCR) — copy, share, or search
• Stitches multiple pages into a single PDF
• Lets you search across every document by the words inside them
• Core document features work offline after any required on-device model is installed

✨ KEY FEATURES
• 📷 Smart capture — BeamDoc on-device AI finds page edges in real time
• 🪄 Perspective fix — straightens skewed photos into clean rectangles
• 🎨 Enhancement filters — Original, Magic Color, Grayscale, Black & White
• 🔡 On-device OCR — extract text you can copy, share, or search (English / Latin script)
• 📚 Multi-page PDFs — combine, reorder, and export in one tap
• 🔍 Full-text search — find any document by a word inside it
• 🌙 Dark mode — easy on the eyes for late-night scanning
• 📤 Share anywhere — send PDFs via WhatsApp, Gmail, Drive, or save locally

🔒 PRIVACY THE WAY IT SHOULD BE
BeamDoc processes and stores your documents, recognised text, and search history on your phone. Scan content never goes to Firebase or any other cloud service.

• Scanning, OCR, search, and PDF export work on-device
• No accounts, no sign-ups, no subscriptions
• No ads, behavioural trackers, or BeamDoc analytics profiles
• No cloud sync, no "smart suggestions," no data brokers
• All files stored in your phone's local app storage — yours to back up or delete
• Optional product notifications are off by default and can be disabled at any time

If you've ever paused before scanning a passport, a payslip, a medical report, or a tenancy agreement — BeamDoc is built for that pause.

🤔 WHY PEOPLE PICK BEAMDOC
• You scan sensitive paperwork and don't want it on a third-party server
• You work in spotty connectivity (travel, fieldwork, rural areas) and need a scanner that just works
• You're tired of paywalls hiding basic features like OCR or watermark-free export
• You want a clean, fast scanner without the usual "upgrade to Pro" pop-ups

BeamDoc keeps the feature set focused: capture, clean, recognise, export. Nothing you didn't ask for.

📑 GREAT FOR
• Students — lecture notes, textbook pages, handouts
• Professionals — contracts, invoices, receipts, expense claims
• Travellers — passports, tickets, hotel bookings
• Families — school forms, prescriptions, warranty cards
• Small businesses — purchase orders, delivery notes, signed agreements

⚙️ TECH UNDER THE HOOD
BeamDoc uses its bundled on-device model for document capture and Google ML Kit's on-device text recognition model for OCR. Document processing remains local. Optional notifications use Firebase Cloud Messaging only after you enable them; Firebase Analytics is not included.

BeamDoc is built and maintained by Muhammad Irfan as an independent project. Bug reports and feature requests are read personally — your input shapes what ships next.

Scan smart. Keep it private. That's the whole idea.
