CLUSTER MOBILE-OCR-SCANNER · 24 ENTRIES · EARLIEST ENTRY 2017-08-24
Mobile document scanner apps
This cluster comprises mobile document scanner apps that digitize documents, receipts, and cards via camera, with OCR text extraction, PDF/JPEG export, and often e-signing and sharing. Entries appear at a steady, low rate from 2010 to 2026, with no clear acceleration. Traction leaders include CamScanner + | OCR Scanner, Free PDF Scanner App For Doc, and ScanNow, though all show zero stars on the activity signal.
Entry timeline
ENTRY TIMELINE
Each bar is the month a member carries, which is a creation date where the source published one and a crawl date otherwise. Nothing in the index was found before 11 August 2026, and coverage broadened sharply on 14–15 August, so a bar from then on reports how much we found that month, not how much was built; an earlier bar reports how far back a member's own source dated it — not how long we have been watching.

Two labels per entry, never collapsed into one: how it was built, and who stands behind it. Counted over the 4 listed below. Unlabelled means nothing has decided yet — not that the answer is small.

Ranked by traction, highest first, and paged 20 at a time — this is a window on the cluster, never the whole of it. Ties are broken by a stable id so a product cannot appear on two pages or fall between them. Browse every cluster.
