Will ScanVault upload my documents to the cloud?
The product is being built around local capture, local OCR, encrypted storage, and no cloud requirement for the core workflow.
Private Document Scanner
Scan documents without feeding another cloud.
ScanVault is the RichfieldLabs document scanner now in development for Android. It is being built around local OCR, semantic search, encrypted storage, and a no-cloud-default workflow for everyday documents.
Clean Scans Fast
Auto edge detection and a focused camera flow are built for receipts, forms, and day-to-day document capture.
On-Device OCR
Extract text locally so documents stay useful without sending pages to a remote service.
Private By Default
Encrypted local storage, no cloud dependency, and no tracking are core to the product direction.
Planned Features
What ScanVault is being built to do
The product direction is practical: capture documents quickly, keep them organized, and make them searchable without leaning on a cloud scanner.
- Auto edge detection for receipts, paper forms, and multi-page documents
- On-device OCR for searchable text extraction
- Semantic search to find documents by meaning instead of exact filenames
- AES-256 encrypted local document storage
- No cloud upload requirement for core scanning workflows
- No tracking or account requirement for the primary use case
Privacy Model
Why this scanner exists
A lot of document scanners default to upload, sync, and account creation. ScanVault is being designed for people who want private scanning first and convenience second.
The goal is a scanner that treats sensitive paperwork as sensitive data, not content to process on somebody else's infrastructure by default.
Local OCR and search are part of the intended product direction so documents stay useful after capture without leaving your device.
The page will evolve as the feature set firms up, but the privacy constraints are already part of the product definition.
