I have been pleased with two closed source privacy-respecting apps: Genius Scan and QuickScan
I read about Genius Scan at macrumors; it's available for Android and iOS.
The limitation of Genius Scan is the camera, IMO, of the Pixel 6a and 7. The 7 takes outstanding outdoor photos by day and by night. But both phones in my experience are poor at focusing indoors and in making use of ambient light indoors.
The dev's privacy policy says the app only runs Firebase Crashlytics and Analytics, and App Manager seems to confirm that.
I downloaded it via Aurora Store and use it just fine with these permissions in GrapheneOS:
yes: camera, notifications
no: location, network, sensors
My second recommendation is QuickScan for iOS. In a subforum for apps at macrumors, it seems since May2020 to be a one-person operation; and the author states he does not collect any data.
Some people here use an iOS device. Compared to the camera limitations of my two Pixel phones I spoke of, my iOS device makes much better use of ambient indoor light and with QuickScan does a better job of rendering text sharply. I now just use QuickScan instead of Genius Scan for all my scanning needs.
