Why not just a scanner app for your phone? They work pretty well. I have a flatbed scanner that I keep stored away most of the time, until I need to scan a bunch of stuff quickly. If I need to scan the odd receipt, I use Tiny Scanner.

The main reason was I had 2 filing cabinet drawers filled with paper and wanted something that could be relatively hands off. I was able to do double sided paper and load multiple pages at a time (24 pages before it didn't work well) so it was easy to burn through the them. I've tried a scanner app before for one off things and have had okay success with them. I guess now the backlog is burned down I can compare the two for things that are just a couple of pages.

Adobe Scan is great but make sure to backup scanned documents. I kept storage on the app and lost a lot of documents.
