From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

On most phones the end result will look fairly poor AND it will be a pain in the ass.
On most phones the result will be excellent. It's up to the app you use to clean the image but there are excellent ones out there. And the phone cameras have very good resolutions.
The flow is what you make of it. I'm pretty sure you can find a solution to upload, print, email or whatever the images if you want.
My wife uses an app called Adobe Scan and it seems to work well enough. We scan receipts, warranty documents, paperwork, etc. with it.
You need to do something like this (and add LED strip).
Or, and hear me out, you could buy a Brother printer/scanner combo for not much more than just a printer, and not have to fuck around with building a scanner jig for your phone
