Is your Android phone your only scanner now?

I haven’t used a physical scanner in years – I scan everything on my Android phone now (contracts, receipts, forms). Right now I’m using Scanium just because it does “open → scan → PDF → share” without much fuss, but I’m not tied to it. Curious what everyone else uses in 2025: are you fully phone-only for scanning, and which scanner app did you actually stick with long term (bonus points if it’s FOSS or one-time purchase)?...

What's the best voice dictation/ real-time trannoscription on Android phone?

I have been searching for voice dictation and real-time trannoscription apps to replace manual typing. Currently, I find Gboard’s voice dictation on the Google Pixel to be flawless; I have no complaints at all. However, that isn’t the case for Gboard on other Android phones, where it frequently cuts me off mid-sentence, which is frustrating.

Other alternatives I’ve found are usually Whisper-based. While these are perfect for English, they often lack support for the other languages I use, forcing ...

What small Android feature or setting made the biggest difference in your daily use?

Android has so many built-in features and settings that are easy to overlook, but some of them can quietly make everyday use a lot smoother.

For example, things like per-app notification controls, system-wide dark mode, or even small gesture tweaks ended up having more impact for me than major version updates.

I’m curious — what small Android feature or setting improved your experience the most, even if it seems minor?...
