Samsung announced a new feature for its mobile devices. This feature is a document scanner. It now allows users to edit text directly within scanned documents. This change means people can fix mistakes or update information right after scanning. It happens without needing extra steps or separate apps.

Previously, scanning a document saved it as an image. Users could only view it. Making changes required different software. This often meant exporting the text. That process could be slow and frustrating. Samsung’s update removes that hassle.
The built-in scanner uses optical character recognition technology. This technology reads text in images. It converts that text into editable data. Users can tap on any scanned document. They can then select and change words directly on their phone or tablet. This works for scanned papers, receipts, or even handwritten notes if the writing is clear.
This tool is designed for convenience. It helps users manage documents faster. Professionals on the move will find it useful. Students can also benefit. It simplifies tasks like correcting scanned assignments or updating forms. Samsung believes this improves productivity. It reduces the need for desktop computers for simple edits.
The text editing capability is part of Samsung’s Notes app. It integrates with the existing scanner function. Users find it in the same menu. They scan a document as usual. Then they choose the new edit option. The interface is simple. It feels similar to editing a regular text file.

Models like the Galaxy S23 series and Galaxy Tab S8 series will get it. More devices might receive it later. This update will roll out globally over the next few weeks. Users should check for software updates on their devices.
