It would be nice if when you take a picture of a page, the orientation is lined up with the page lines automatically, and if the image was cropped to only include the page itself
I made a change in v0.11.0 to automatically zoom to the content are of each scanned image, as determined by occurrences of recognized writing. There’s a setting to toggle that behavior. There is also a setting to ignore page numbers when determining what the content area of the image is.
Yes, this would be good. I was thinking of adding an option to put crop guides in the camera preview that match the aspect ratio of your notebook. That would be a more manual solution. Automatic cropping would be nicer, but has a risk of accidentally cutting off content, especially if there are drawings on the page that aren’t identified as content by the OCR process.
When you say orientation, it sounds like you’re talking about small adjustments? If scans are coming out in landscape orientation instead of portrait that would be a bug.

I don’t know how to do automatic orientation yet. I filed Automatically orient scans to follow up.
