You probably already have one.

I have not used the flatbed scanner in my multifunction printer in a long time. Why? Because the iPhone works amazingly well as a scanner.

I use the Notes app, click Camera->Scan Documents. It uses AI to get the proper document edges and adjust for the angle of the shot. Makes a multipage pdf in a breeze.

Thanks for the reply and info. I guess I'm from old school and still like using an actual scanner. One pass and save to folder = done. If I can't find one or get updated software for the IRIS Exec 4 scanner I already have, then I guess I'll resort to using the Notes app. Thanks for the info.
