Getting started

Use Capture to launch a camera, or Import to start with an image from the Gallery. After you capture or import a single image, the edge detect and color adjust screens will appear.

Turbo import

Enabling Turbo import (on the settings screen), allows you to import multiple images and use the scan gallery to batch process or convert one at a time (by clicking on a thumb-nail).

Projects

Scans are auto-organized into collections called Projects. You can change project names by long-pressing a project box, and move scans from one project to another using "Move."

Selecting scans

Select scans by clicking them; select all scans by long pressing any scan; select all scans in a group by long pressing on the group's text box.

Actions

To share a group of scans: select them, pick an action from the drop-down, and tap "Go."

OCR

To run optical character recognition (OCR): choose JPEG or PDF from the drop-down and share the scans with Docs Upload OCR. You can also run OCR by sharing scans with third party apps, including Google Goggles and Evernote.

Business cards

To add a scanned business card to your contacts: share it with Google Goggles.

Archiving scans

To delete scans from the database: use the "Remove" action in the drop down menu. The JPEG file for a deleted scan remains on the SD card and can be re-imported here: Manage archived scans.

Expunging scans

To delete scans permanently, including JPEG files: enable "Expunge" in the settings. Note: your phone's built in gallery app may not detect that a JPEG file has been deleted. Tell gallery to re-scan the SD card now.
