FR: Auto-Rotation of Scanned Documents #386

Open shrawank039 opened 6 days ago

shrawank039 commented 6 days ago

Description:

Currently, when I scan a document that is not oriented correctly (e.g., upside down or rotated 90 degrees), the scanned image retains the incorrect orientation. I then have to manually rotate the image to the correct direction before saving it.

Feature Request:

I would like to propose an auto-rotation feature that detects the text direction during the scan and automatically rotates the image to the correct orientation. This would streamline the workflow and reduce the need for manual correction on the next screen.

Example:

For instance, I scanned this document in the wrong direction to demonstrate the issue:

IMG_0021 On the next screen, the image is cropped but still oriented incorrectly, and I have to use a manual rotate button to fix it. I would prefer the scanner to auto-detect the text direction using OCR (or another method) and rotate the image accordingly, so it displays in the correct orientation automatically on the next screen.
