Introduction to the Galaxy S26 Document Scan Feature

Introducing the "Document Scan" feature of Galaxy S26 that has innovative image processing technology and user-friendly features. It simplifies the entire process, from scanning documents to editing, saving, and sharing. In addition to enhanced scan image processing technology, it also features a multi-scan feature for quickly processing multiple documents, along with a variety of options and editing features to maximize work efficiency.

1. Enhanced Scan Image Processing Technology

The document scan feature delivers optimal results through innovative image processing technology. The enhanced document de-warping algorithm automatically corrects warped or folded documents, and has been specifically designed to improve the flattening of open book pages.

2. User-friendly preview and editing features

Galaxy S26 is equipped with various features to provide users with a more accurate and convenient document scanning experience. The preview feature allows you to preview the scanned document beforehand and immediately edit any necessary sections.

a. Document Area Adjustment and Image Rotation

To compensate for minor errors that may occur during the scanning process, users can freely adjust the image rotation direction or manually change the cropped document area. In particular, when there are elements such as straight borders in the document, if you move the handle located in the middle of each of the four sides, a magnet function is provided that automatically snaps the handle to the straight line, allowing you to easily and quickly align the document edges. This feature is particularly useful when a specific portion of the document is cropped or not rotated to the desired angle.

Additionally, pressing and holding a corner or the handle activates a magnifying glass, allowing you to view and adjust the area in greater detail. This helps you refine minute details in your document with greater precision.

b. Filter Selection

Depending on the document type, you can choose from a variety of filters to improve readability. For text-heavy documents, you can apply filters to enhance clarity, while for images, you can apply filters to correct color. Each filter is tailored to specific characteristics of documents, resulting in improved images.

c. Erase Feature On/Off

This feature allows you to automatically restore deleted objects or restore unintentionally deleted portions. This feature allows users to selectively preserve or restore only the desired portions, helping to improve document accuracy. Accidentally erased parts during the scanning process can also be easily recovered.

These Galaxy S26 features enable users to scan and edit documents more conveniently and efficiently, contributing to the improved quality of the final results. Additionally, buttons are provided to easily identify changes, and it also includes the ability to directly edit documents.

3. Multi-Scan

Galaxy S26 offers a convenient multi-scan feature for users who need to handle multiple sheets of documents, such as books or document bundles. With this feature, users can scan multiple sheets continuously, and the automatic scan option makes the process even more convenient.

a. Continuous Document Scan & Auto Scan

The continuous scan feature allows you to scan multiple pages at once, saving you time. Enabling the auto scan option automatically recognizes and scans the next page without requiring you to press the scan button each time. This feature significantly improves work efficiency, especially when handling large volumes of documents.

b. Provides a multi-document editing experience

After scanning is complete, you can utilize the multi-document editing feature. This feature allows users to freely edit multiple scanned documents. You can rearrange the order of documents or add and delete pages as needed, allowing you to structure the final document as desired. It is also convenient because you can adjust each page individually, which is useful when you only need to edit a specific page. These features increase the flexibility of document work, allowing users to complete tasks more easily and quickly.

4. Save as PDF and Quick Sharing

Galaxy S26 offers PDF saving and sharing features that make document management and sharing more convenient. After scanning multiple documents, you can easily save them as a single PDF file, making document management easier.

The PDF saving feature is ideal for users who want to organize their scanned documents and it also provides the option to save them as image files.

Additionally, the Share button allows you to share scanned results directly without having to navigate to a separate app or menu. This feature allows you to quickly send documents via various channels, including email, social media, and cloud services that improve work efficiency.

The PDF saving and sharing features simplify document management and sharing, improving user workflow and enabling more convenient document utilization.

5. Provides default resolution options.

Have you ever experienced inconvenience because the file size of a document image was too large when carrying it on a mobile device or uploading it to a website? To address this, we offer three resolution options: default, high, and low.

- High-resolution setting (High): Provides high-quality images, but results in larger image files and longer processing times.

- Low-resolution setting (Low): Image quality is somewhat reduced, but results in smaller files and faster results.

Starting with the Galaxy S26, the scan button appears directly on the Photo mode preview screen. When you take a picture of a document so that all four corners are visible, the scan button at the bottom center will become active. After pressing the scan button and waiting for a moment, you can preview the scan results. After checking the results in the preview, if there are no issues, you can press the save button to save the document.

2. Camera Multi-Document Scan

Galaxy S26 supports a dedicated mode that allows you to capture multiple documents in succession. There are three main ways to access this feature.

A. After scanning the first image in Photo mode, tap the "Add Scan" button.\

B. Accessing the Document Scan icon:

1. Turn on the "Add Document Scan to Apps screen" option in Camera Settings → Select the Document Scan icon (see center image below).
2. Long-press the camera app icon to access (see right image below).

3. Scan Documents from the Gallery

This feature is useful when you first take a regular photo of a document and then later want to scan it from the Gallery. When there is text visible in the Gallery, the T button in the lower right corner is activated, and pressing the T button activates the scan button. When you press the scan button, you can see an automatically cropped and corrected preview image with the same experience as in the camera's photo mode. If there are no problems with the scan results, you can press the save button to save it as a separate file.

Shooting Guide for Optimal Performance

1. Document Recognition

Document recognition is best when text occupies at least 20% of the document's area. If the document contains only images without text, then the camera may not recognize it as a document.

The original document should be rectangular, with all four corners visible within the camera frame without obstruction. If the document is captured to fill the screen, its corners and borders may extend beyond the screen. Therefore, the appropriate screen size for the document is approximately 80% of the total screen.

2. Photographing Documents

You will get the clearest results if you take a picture with the document's face level with the camera.

If the document is small and you take a close-up shot, some areas may appear blurry due to the high-definition camera lens. In this case, use the camera's zoom function to enlarge the image and then use the document scan feature to obtain a clearer image.

3. Document Warping & Folding

Documents folded up to two times can be straightened, and the angle between the folds can be corrected within a range of 130 to 180 degrees.

Based on the document, camera tilt can be supported up to 20 degrees based on the origin where the document appears horizontal.

4. Finger & Corner Crease Removal

For the distraction removal feature to work, there must be a minimum distance of 0.7cm between the distracting element and the document content (text/image). The feature will not work if the distraction completely obscures the content. Additionally, if the area of the distracting element is too small or its proportion relative to the document size is low, the feature may not work properly.

If the color pattern of the distraction is unusual, for example, if you have a tattoo or nail art on your finger, it may not work.

5. Removing Moiré on a Monitor

If the moiré pattern on your monitor is too thick or dark, it may not be completely removed and residual moiré may remain.

6. Document-specific Filter Functions

The Clean filter increases the contrast between content and background while removing weak colors or background patterns.

The Natural filter increases the contrast between content and background while preserving pattern information, making it ideal for enhancing the clarity of content while preserving surrounding document patterns.

The Grayscale filter converts color to grayscale while preserving natural color variations, making it ideal for removing color while maintaining natural tone variations.

The Black & White filter is ideal for images composed entirely of black and white, maximizing the contrast between the background (paper) and the foreground (text).
