Odk scan or alternative

My research team would like to use odk scan to collect field data in areas where Internet and electricity are unreliable. We spent the day creating a scannable survey in the form designer (http://mousum27.github.io/odk-scan/) only to find that the odk scan app is not available on Play. Is there an alternative we could use? An app for trial perhaps? I read in other posts that I may also need install a template builder (https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/wiki/ScanWebApps) and xlsx generator, but may not be relevant if there is no app to use. We would really like to save our day's work, and would appreciate any offers of advice.

Hi Chalida,

There is an out of date version of the apk available in the google code
repository here:
https://code.google.com/p/opendatakit/source/browse/bin/scan.apk?repo=scan&name=Version%202.0%20Rev%20121%20BMG%20Mobisys%202014

There have been several changes to the code since then, including one to
remove the directory with the apk. It has been a long time since I was
involved with the ODK Scan project, so I don't know the current status of
the project, or where you should go to find the current version.

Regards,
-Nathan

I have included a link to the latest Scan APK along with links to versions
of Tables, Survey, and Sync that are compatible with this version of Scan.
Scan has yet to be officially released, but we are planning an official
release of Tables, Survey, and Sync soon that should also be compatible
with this version of Scan. The version of Aggregate that works with these
APKs is 1.4.5.

I am also very keen to test this out but the Odk scan apk in the link above leads to an invalid package.

Can anybody point me to a valid one?

Many thanks

I just tried these links today and was able to download and install the
APKs with no issues. Have you resolved the issue?
