# FairScan
FairScan is an Android app to scan documents. It aims to be simple and respectful to users.
"Simple" means that users should get a clean PDF in seconds and without thinking:
- The user interface should be super clear, with no distractions.
- The scanning process should be obvious.
- The app should automatically handle all image processing and PDF generation tasks.
## Get FairScan
- [Google Play](https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=org.fairscan.app)
