Perspec 1.0 is a desktop application written in Haskell for correcting the perspective of images, particularly useful for photos of documents and receipts. The developer spent 9 years building the tool, motivated by dissatisfaction with mobile scanning apps that produce lower-quality JPEG outputs with compression artifacts instead of efficient PNG files.
Background
Document scanning apps like Adobe Scan, vFlat, and SwiftScan have become mainstream on mobile platforms, but desktop-focused alternatives remain limited. This release brings a long-in-development open-source tool to maturity after nearly a decade of work.
