Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
Current Auto-Scan mode depends on page/document detection. Auto-Scanning won't work when the page's colour is the same colour as the background (like, when a book is on a table, and both page and book are i.e. purely sepia coloured.)

Describe the solution you'd like
An alternative auto-scan solely based on a timer could help alot, without needing to depend on document detection. Like.. "scan every X sec" for example. (would be the best to make the timing configurable)

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context

  • Thank you for your hard work and efforts!

Research direction

The request describes an alternative auto-scan mode triggered by a configurable timer instead of page or document detection. Start by locating the existing auto-scan entry point and its detection-based trigger, then trace how scan intervals are configured and verify that timed scans work when page and background colours match.
