Scanning from the capture window
- Optional: Optional steps include setting the flash, selecting the document type, and so on.

By default, auto-capture is enabled, and on startup the app displays the capture screen and tries to detect a document.
If auto-capture is disabled, center a document in window and tap the capture button.
- Follow the on-screen hints. The app uses auto crop and image cleaning to improve scan quality. Messages appear on the screen as follows:
- Looking for document: The app is looking for the document and trying to detect its boundaries.
- Capturing… hold steady: Edge detection can see the entire document.
- No document found. Capture manually: The app cannot detect the document edges.
