Paper document scanner

The Yandex Mail app has a built-in scanner. With it, you can scan paper documents using Smart Camera and then save them in PNG, PDF, or JPG format. The scanner automatically increases contrast, selects the text area, and adjusts the alignment of the image.

Tap More in the lower-right corner and select Scanner.
