For the last couple of weeks, it was all fun and games. This week, we are going for a more generalized topic on how you use your Android devices for work.
I’m boring in regards to work apps, so I very much favor using Microsoft apps over Google apps for work, as overall I feel Google apps work better on iPhones than on Android (to my great frustration). Office and Teams work exactly how I expect them to, while their desktop version are a bit bloated, on Android they work super well, and there really is no replacement that’s as good as Microsoft Lens for scanning printed documents into PDFs.
But, I understand my use for Android for productivity is fairly limited, so, I’m interested to see if we can put our head together and find some interesting ways to use your Android devices to help us all be more productive.
Forgot to mention this one, and this will probably be the first non-free app I’ll be recommending, but Genius Scan is simply great for scanning documents with your phone. I paid like $10 for it in 2017 and I’ve been since then using it all the time to scan my receipts to claim my expenses whenever I go on a business trip as I sometimes end up losing them.
There probably might be a FOSS alternative for that one? On PC there’s ScanTailor (https://scantailor.org/ ) which is open-source, so maybe an app using the same libraries could be on Android too? But yeah you could also just take photos of your documents and wait until you get home to your PC to post-process them with ScanTailor.
