 So today we're going to go over scanning with a phone or tablet. So the agenda for today is I'm going to go over what is scanning using your phone as a default camera to scan your documents. I'm going to go over apps that you could use to help scan your photos. I'm going to go over where to get the apps. And I'm going to demonstrate how to use your device to scan a document and how to use your device to scan a photo. So what is scanning? So scanning involves using a device to scan a document or a photo. So you might be used to using a flatbed scanner. So at the library right now, we have all-in-one scanners where it's kind of big. You kind of put your documents in it or your photo in it and use it to scan. And it saves to, let's say, your flash drive or you email it to yourself. And that's one way of scanning your document or your photo. Or you can use your phone or tablet that has a camera. And you use that to scan your documents or photos. And once you scan your documents or photos, usually you would save it to a format. So if it's a document and you save it to a PDF format or if it's like a photo, you would save it to what we call a JPEG format or a PNG format. And these are usually reserved for photos. And if it's like a document, then it's usually like a PDF. And once you use that to scan your documents, then you could have all these documents. Then you could kind of use these documents to like submit the file to someone. Like for instance, you might have like a drop application that you might need to like scan certain documents. You could use the flatbed scanner or you could use your phone or tablet to scan it. Or if you have like a doctor's form and your doctor requires you to scan it and send it in, then you could use like a flatbed scanner or your phone or tablet as well too. As well as like verification forms. So one way of scanning your document is using the default camera app. So if you have a smartphone or a tablet, then most likely you would have like a camera on there. And if you have a camera on there, then they usually have like a default camera app. It's usually kind of indicated by, let's say like a camera icon or like a little photo icon. And you could use that. You'd open up the devices default camera app. You'd use that to take a photo of your document. And the document usually saves as a photo onto your device. So this kind of varies. It depends on what kind of device you have. You might have like an Android device. You might have like the iPhone or iPad. So the process is very similar, but it might look a little different dependent on your device and how you access like the photos and how you access the camera app. So the benefit is you do not need to download another app since you will have the default camera app on your device. You might have some editing options as well too. Like you edit like your photos, you could crop it a little bit, but the limitations are there might be a glare in your documents. So let's say you might have like a shiny photo or you might have like a document, but it's kind of glossy. And if you use your default cameras app, you might not have the option of, let's say removing the glare. And also if you use your default camera app, you might save that scan or that photo as like a photo, but not as a PDF. And sometimes when you submit like a document, they might require you to submit in the PDF format. And also if you're using the default cameras app, you might have like limited ability to kind of correct like image distortion. So for example, you might be taking like a document or a photo and you're using your camera app to see a kind of photo of it, but then you're not angling it at like a good angle. So you might be at like a different angle and your photo might look like you're taking it from like a weird angle and your document is not flat. And certain apps I'm gonna go over today in my help with that, in my kind of an adjusted. So it makes it seems like you're taking a photo and the document is like flat on the table and your final result will look flat. And also like you might have limited color correction for documents. So certain apps they might give you the option of correcting the color, it might be a little bit dark, it might be a little bit light, but if you're using the default camera app, you might not have all these options. So on your screen right now, I have a list of apps that you could use to kind of help you scan. So there are a lot of apps out there and I will not have time to go over all of them. So I've made like a short list. So this list is not like a complete list, but these are just some of the applicable apps. The first app is Adobe Scan, which is right here on your screen. Second app is PhotoScan by Google. Third app is Google Drive Scan. So this one, it is your Google Drive app, but within the Google Drive app, there is an option for you to use your camera to scan a document and save it to your Google Drive account. The fourth one is Microsoft Lens. Fifth one right here is Gene Scan. Sixth one is PhotoScan app by PhotoMaking and there's many, many more. For today's session, I'm gonna go over the top three apps on this list right here. So I'm gonna go over Adobe Scan, I'm gonna go over PhotoScan by Google and I'm gonna go over Google Drive Scan. So downloading an app, it is dependent on the type of device you have. So if you have like an Android device, like an Android phone or tablet, then you would go to the Google Play Store and you go in there and you would search for, let's say like a document scanning app or like a photo scanning app. And you could go there and you could search for any of the apps that I've listed on the previous screen or you could search for one that's not on the list as well. If you have an iPhone or iPad, then you would go to the Apple App Store and you would do the same thing. You would search for an app and then you would download it to your device and install it. The steps to scanning a document or photo. So the first thing is you, if you wanna use an app, then you could download like a scanning app to your device that afterwards you might need to create an account. So for today's session, one of the apps I'm gonna go over, they do require you to create an account. And once you create the account, then you have access to their features. And the app I'm gonna go over today is free, but there is like a premium version of it as well too, which if you pay like a monthly fee or a monthly fee, you might get like more features. And the third step is you scan your document or photo. So you use your device, you open the app and then you scan your document or photo, then afterwards you save it to your device and then you can share it with someone as well. So scanning a document or photo, this is more like a visual instruction. So you would open your device, you would scan it and then you look at your document and after you scan it, you have the image on your device. Okay, so demonstration time. I have two devices here, I'm gonna use it to scan a couple of documents and like a photo as well too. So for today's session, I'm gonna use an iPad and I'm gonna use an Android device to demonstrate how to like scan a document and photo. So on your screen right now, you should be seeing my iPad right now. So like I mentioned earlier, it really depends on what device you have. So you might have let's say a newer version of iPad or you have like older version of Android. So it really depends on which version you have but it might look a little bit different but it's kind of like all the same concepts. So you might have, let's say an icon here, it might not look the same as the icon on my screen as well. Okay, so the first app I'm gonna go over is Adobe Scan. So for Adobe Scan, this is one of the apps that you might need to sign up for an account. So once you sign up for account, you have an account with Adobe and once you scan your documents, they give you the option of kind of saving your documents to your Adobe account which is somewhere in the cloud and you have that document there or you could just share it with someone else or share it with yourself as well. So I'm gonna go to Adobe Scan. It's here on my screen. I'm gonna click on it. So once you download the app, it will ask you to sign for account and once you sign for account or if you have an account already, sign in. And yes, so once you sign in, you should see something similar to what you see on your screen right now. So it's gonna activate your device's camera and you can look for any document that you wanna scan. So on the bottom of your screen right here, there should be, it looks kind of like a toolbar and it has like a lot of options. So right now the default is to documents. So if you use your finger and you kind of scroll to the left or the right, you can select more options as well too. So right now I'm selected the business card option but I'm gonna scroll through these various options. So the next one is documents, the next one is form and the next one is whiteboard. So there's a whiteboard option where let's say you're in class and someone writes a lot of things on the whiteboard and you wanna take a photo of it. You use Adobe Scan and then you could use the whiteboard option and you take a photo of that and it should kind of clear off certain things on whiteboard so it'll make it look a little bit better. But today I'm gonna use this to scan a document. I have a sample document right here. So on your screen right now, you should be seeing I'm in the Adobe Scan app and I have activated that option and I have a document right in front of my camera. This is a sample resume and I'm gonna take a photo of it and try to save it as a file. And on the bottom of your screen, there is a circle option. That is where you click on where you would kind of take your photo but there is another option as well too. So if you go to the bottom middle of the screen and you look to the left, there is kind of like a icon with like a line kind of crossed out of it. But that's kind of like the automatic scan option. So if you tap on it, it should remove the line that's crossed out. And once you do that, it will automatically look for any documents that you place right in front of your camera. And once you do that, and if there's a document, it will automatically take that photo. So as you can see right now, it located this option in front of the camera and it took a photo of it. So now you're not limited to this photo. So if you don't like it, you always retake it later on as well too. And you can make your adjustments. So right now you can see, it kind of took a photo of the entire documents and you can kind of adjust the sighting as well too or the top of the bottom. If you locate like there is like a little circle at the far left-hand corner, there's kind of like a rectangle in the middle of the top of the page. So you can use your finger and you can move this around and you can see like where is the actual document and you can kind of move it to wherever you want and you think that looks good. So I'm gonna make some minor adjustments here. And notice on the bottom of your screen, there's kind of like contact information. So once you use Adobe scan and it kind of scans your documents, it kind of scans it to see if there is, let's say like a website address on there or if there's like a phone number on there and it will let you know at the bottom. So this is a sample document. So I don't have any real contact information but on the bottom of your screen right now, you should be seeing, there is a phone number that says one, two, three, four, five, six. So it scanned my document and it noticed that this is a phone number on there and it is letting me know. It found like email address but it's not really an email address and it thinks that it's like a website. So it kind of listed that on the bottom as well too. So let's say I'm happy with my scan right now. So I'm gonna hit continue, which is on the bottom right-hand corner or if I'm not happy with it, on the bottom right-hand corner, there is a link that says retake and I can retake like the photo of this image as well too. So I'm gonna hit continue. So now it's kind of saved the document and it brought me back to the actual screen where I could look for like a different document as well too. So in order for you to get to your document that you just scanned, you locate a little image on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen. It's usually like a preview of what's the image you had just taken before. So right now it's on the bottom right-hand corner of the screen and I'm gonna use my finger and I'm gonna tap on that. So once I tap on that, it's gonna bring me to this screen right here. So it's gonna give you a preview about what your scan looks like. And if you can look at your screen, it looks kind of good. It looks kind of crooked. So it really depends on how you take your photo. So it's kind of recommended that you have your document on a flat surface and your device should be directly on top of it and you don't have like a weird angle. That's how you will kind of take your photo and it will kind of process and it'll make it look better. So on the bottom of your screen right here, there should be like a toolbar with all the available options. I'm gonna go to the color option. So before I go there, take a look at your screen right now and look at the quality of this image. Okay. So on the bottom of your screen, there is a toolbar and I'm gonna read out your available options. So I'm just gonna start from the left. On the left-hand side, there should be an icon that says add page and to the right of that, it's gonna be reorder and to the right of that, it's gonna be crop and to the right of that, it's gonna be rotate and to the right of that, it's gonna be color. Then the next will be cleanup, page size and delete. So delete is the last option, which is on the far right-hand corner of the bottom of the toolbar. And I'm gonna click on the color option, which is near the middle bottom. Okay, so right now it automatically selected auto color. So it looked at my document and it's saying that it might need a little adjustment. So it did the adjustment for me. So I'm gonna go to original color. So you can see what the original scan was and you can see if there's like a difference or not. Okay. So on your screen right now, this is the original scan. So this is a scan of the document that I had on my table and I scanned it. And if you look at it, the color looks kind of dark, it's kind of gray, but if I use auto color, it kind of corrected all of that and it kind of cleared off everything. So it made it look a little bit better. And there are other options here as well too. The next option is gray scale. So it made a little adjustment. So you might not be able to see a difference. So this is really helpful if you have like a document and you wanna make it look better. And once you scan it, you'll kind of use auto color. It's gonna kind of clear off everything. It makes everything look a little bit brighter. So if you need to send it to someone, it looks a little bit more professional. And if you need to crop it again, there's the crop option on the bottom left-hand corner of this page as well too. So I'm gonna select that again and it's gonna bring me back to this page right here where you can kind of recrop your document. I'm just gonna make a little adjustment right there. And once you're done, you locate the check mark near the top right-hand corner of the page and you'll click on that and it's gonna readjust your document. Okay, so there is your document. And if you notice on your screen right here, on the right-hand side, right above the letters that says skills, there is kind of like a little dot there. So you might not want that on your final scan. So there is option on the bottom right-hand corner and it's just a cleanup. So right there, if you click on cleanup, then it will give you this option right here and then you could kind of use the cleanup option to kind of clear off certain things on your scan. So like for example, right above the skills letters, there's like a little dot. So you use the cleanup option and you could kind of clear that off. And this is very helpful if you have like a document and it doesn't look very good, there's like a little mark on the bottom or left or right, then you use the cleanup option and this usually clears it off and your final document would look very clear. And I'm gonna hit the check mark. Okay, and there it is. So I corrected that one. Okay, so now if you're happy with your document, then you would go to save PDF option, which is on the far right-hand corner of the page. But before you do that, look at the top middle of your page, right? Right there is a scan August 24th, 2021. So that's kind of like the defaults name of the documents. So you could change it to whatever name you like by clicking on the pencil icon, which is to the right of the title. So I'm gonna do that right now. So I'm just gonna change the document to hello. And once I do that, I'll hit okay. So it's gonna change the title of the document and if you're happy with that, then you will go to save PDF, which is at the top right-hand corner of your page and you click on that. Okay, so once you click on save PDF, it is gonna save to your device and it's gonna save to your account in Adobe as well too. And once it does save, you'll bring it to this page right here. And usually on the top of the page, you'll see the most recent documents and near the middle to the bottom of the page, you'll see all the previous scans that you have done in the past. And these are all the previous scans that I've done in the past. So next I'm gonna go over your options. So look near the top of your screen right now and look to the right. So there are like kind of four options there. Starting from the top, there is an icon that says share and there's like a box icon with like arrow pointing up. So this is where you would share your documents. So let's say you took a photo of your resume right now and you wanna share it with someone. So you click on the share icon, which is the first option on the top right-hand corner and it's gonna ask you, how do you want to share your documents? So there are a couple of options. So you could share a link and that's usually the first option from the bottom and it's gonna indicate it by like a paperclip. You would click on that and it is gonna create like a link for your documents. And then once it creates the link, you would copy the link and you could kind of email it to someone, you could email it to yourself, then you have access to this document or you can email it to whoever you want to have access to this document too. We're gonna click back and the next option is open in Acrobat. So you could open this document on your device and you could look at your documents or if you don't wanna save it as a PDF, you could save it as JPEG, which is kind of like a photo format and that is the third option on your screen right now, which is near the top right-hand corner. You click on save as JPEG and it's gonna save this scan as like a photo document. And if you want more options, you would go to more, which is the fourth option on the top right-hand corner. And once you hit more from the bottom up, you should have all these options show up on your screen. So you save pages as JPEG and you can modify scan and like I mentioned earlier, this is Adobe Scan and it is a free app, but then there are paid versions as well too. So you could pay it and get like a premium version and you get more options. And on your screen right here, you can see on the left bottom corner, there should be option that says export PDF and there is kind of like a circle with like a star on it. But this is like a premium version and on the bottom of that is as combined files. This is a premium version as well too. So you don't have access to this in a free version. If you want to use this feature, then you might have to subscribe and give them like a fee in order for you to use this premium version. Okay, so that's how you would scan a document. So I'm going to go back. So on the bottom right-hand corner of your screen, there should be two icons. One icon is kind of, it looks like a camera, other icon looks like a photo. I'm going to click on the photo icon, which is the left option. And it's going to bring me back to the scanning option, which is right here on your screen. So earlier I scanned like a sample resume, but next I'm going to scan application that you might have and you might need to scan it and you might need to fill it out like a later time. So I have on your screen right here, like a sample library card application. So I'm not going to scan it yet. So right now the default is to document. But I'm going to switch the option to form and it's going to do something a little bit different to your scan. So in order for you to do that, you locate the bottom of your screen, you should see like a circle option in the middle and you look above that, there is options as documented. And there's the form option to the left. I'm going to click on that. And it's going to switch to the form option and I'm going to scan this document. At earlier, I mentioned that there's an automatic scan feature. So right now that automatic scan feature is off and you could tell by looking to the left of the circle on the bottom of your screen and there's like a circle icon with like a line drawn through it. So that shows you that the automatic scan option is off and you have to manually scan your document or form. But click on the scan button which is the middle circle. Okay, so it took a photo of my form and notice that it didn't kind of recognize the entire form. So whatever is within kind of like the box that's what you're going to get on the image. But do not worry about that because you can always adjust the corners, you can make it a little bit bigger so you can show all of your form. So on the bottom right here, you should see the line that says please do not write below this line and it didn't scan that for some reason. So it didn't know that there were more like words on the bottom. So in order for me to fix that I will locate the square box on the middle of the bottom of the page. I use my finger and I'll drag it down to wherever I want. And it's going to include that section within my documents. And I'm going to make adjustments to my scan. Okay, so after I've made my adjustments I think this is good. I'm going to continue which is on the bottom right corner of the page and it is going to save that document and I'm going to access that document by looking to the bottom right end corner and I'm going to tap on the little icon right there. Okay, so here is my scan. So earlier I went over how when you do a scan that it might kind of adjust your color so it makes it look a little bit better. So I'm going to do the same thing. I'm going to let you see what the original color was by going to the bottom of the page and locating the color option. Click on color and it's defaulted to auto color. I'm going to go to original color and this is the original color. So it looks kind of a little darker. It doesn't look very good. So I'm just going to use auto color and it's going to brighten my entire scan. And then we hit save PDF you have top right-hand corner of the page and it is going to save that to my account in Adobe and then you have the other options as well too on that top right-hand corner share open in Acrobat and there is an additional feature right here. So earlier I mentioned that this is a form and I selected the form option. So once you select the form option you should see this option that says fill and sign which is to the right of the top of your screen and you will click on that and you should be able to kind of fill out your application or form. In order for you to do this you have to have Adobe Acrobat reader. So if you do not have that on your device yet you'll have to go to the Google Play Store if you have an Android device or if you have an Apple device you have to go to Apple App Store and download Adobe Acrobat reader first before you can use this feature. So this is a form and let's say you need to fill it out and you don't want to kind of print it out before you send it to someone because it might be a hassle you might need to print it out you fill out with like a pen or pencil then you have to re-scan it then you have to send it to someone but with this option you don't have to print it out you could just fill it out on your device and you could save it and you can send it to whoever you need to. So right here it is the form and let's say on the left-hand side of your screen there's the option that says last name so you want to fill it out so you would use your finger you tap on that section and once you tap on that section right here I tapped on the last name option and kind of like a square box appeared with like a cursor blinking so this is the option for you to kind of type in your last name. Okay I type in that so I'm going to go to the first name option which is the middle of your screen okay so I type in that so that's how you kind of fill out like an application without actually printing it out but you just scan it with your device using Adobe scan and once you're done you hit done which is on the top left-hand corner of the screen then that should remove that option and next we'll be saving this so you will go to the top right-hand corner of your screen you will locate the three dots and you will click on the three dots and I'm going to do that again and once you click on the three dots you should have like a whole menu of options and this is where you would use to kind of save your document so you will go to the bottom you should hit save as a copy and it's going to ask you where you want to save it too so on this iPad or to your Adobe account or if you have like a OneDrive account or a Google Drive account or Dropbox then you can save that there as well too so I'm not going to do that I'm going to hit cancel but this is how you would save your final document with your adjustments like you would fill in your form fill in your last name, first name, your address so anything that's required on the form so I'm going to hit cancel and then I'm going to exit out so that's how you would use Adobe Scan on your device to scan a document or a form Hey Michael, before you leave there there was a question about scanning multiple pages into one single document Okay so it's scanned this first page if I hit continue then I'm going to scan the second page Okay so I scanned two pages and on the bottom right hand corner of your page you should see like a little icon it says the number two on it so two pages so I'm going to click on that so that's kind of how you would scan multiple pages so you scan your first document first and then once you scan it it saves then you scan your next document and you can scan it again you can scan like 10 pages and once you scan your 10 pages you're done you will locate the bottom right hand corner of your screen you look for a little icon of like a preview of your previous scans and there should be like a number on the bottom right hand corner tells you how many scans you have done so for example today I have done two scans right now on your screen you should see page one and if you use your finger and you scroll on your screen it should be page two as well too so you can scan as many pages as you want and once you're done you will just hit the save PDF which is on the top right hand corner of the page so if you're not done yet you hit cancel you can just re-scan all the documents you want before you save it as a final product and that's how you would scan multiple pages I'm gonna hit cancel and I'm gonna exit out of this thank you Brian so next I'm gonna go over the Google photo scan so you would have to download this app if you don't have it yet then you would go to the App Store if you have like an iPhone or iPad or you would go to the Google Play Store if you have like Android device and I already have this on my device right here already so it is right here it says photo scan so it might not say Google in the title but that's a part of the app's name so I'm gonna tap on that and it's gonna activate your camera it's gonna bring you directly into the app and you would scan your photo so the reason why you would want to use this app is because your photos it might be like in a glossy format so there might be like a reflection and if you use like the default camera app on your device and you take a photo of that it might have some glare or if you use like a different app it might have some glare as well too so there are apps out there that kind of help you with taking photos with the glare and it removes the glare for you so this app will kind of help you do that as well too so I have this over here the cover is very glossy so there is a glare at the bottom of your screen there should be like a circle icon that's where you will click on where you want to activate it so it will take your photo this is kind of activates like the automatic option where you will kind of take multiple shots of the same photo and it's gonna combine it to make like a final product so it might look a little bit better so I'm gonna click on circle right now so once you click on the circle on your screen you should see four other circles like in the square box and there should be like an arrow so once you see the four circles you will move the circle in the middle to one of the other circles on the side so once you do that you will follow the arrow and you will move it to the next circle so right now it's taking multiple shots of the same photo and it's gonna combine it at the very end to make a final product so I've taken a photo of this book cover and it's gonna combine all the various photos and it's gonna make a final product and for you to look at your photo you locate the little icon on the bottom right hand corner which is to the right of the little circle where you clicked on to take your photo so I'm gonna click on that so it's gonna bring me to all the photos that I've taken in the past and usually the most recent one is on the top left hand corner which is right here I'm gonna tap on that so okay so that is the scan that I just made right now and you can always make adjustments so it saved it upside down so I will locate the rotate option which is on the bottom left hand corner so there are three options on the bottom first option on the left is rotate the middle option is adjust corners and the third option which is on the bottom right hand corner of your screen is the delete icon which you choose to delete the scan if you don't think it looks good so I'm gonna choose the rotate option which is on the bottom left hand corner and I'm gonna rotate it to the correct orientation and I'm gonna select adjust corners so I'm gonna adjust corners by selecting like the little circle on the very corners and we use my finger and I'm gonna tap on it and drag it to wherever I think it looks better okay so I think this looks good I'm gonna hit done which is on the bottom right hand corner so there is a little bit gap on the side but let's see so let's say I think this looks good so I'm gonna hit the arrow which is near the top left hand corner gonna bring it back and then that's gonna save to your device and that's gonna be how you scan like a photo so I'm gonna scan this again but I'm gonna use the default camera option and you can see how there's a difference or not so I'm gonna locate the camera so this is gonna be the default camera app on your device so this is gonna be the default camera for iPad and I'm gonna take a photo of it so I'm gonna look at the photo that I just scanned so it might not be as obvious on your screen but let's see it's kind of glossy from what I'm looking at right now but it might not be as obvious but in the previous scan with the photo scan by Google it's kind of took away of the gloss a little bit so not a big difference but it might be a little bit more obvious if you have like a photo and with like people in it then it might be a little bit more obvious so let me try scanning one more document on your screen right now I have another book with a more glossy kind of cover so I'm gonna tap on the icon on the bottom circle this is gonna activate it and there's gonna be four dots and I'm gonna move the center dot to each of the circles so it's gonna scan it's gonna combine all the photos and once it's done it's gonna let you know on the bottom right hand corner of your screen and you click on the little circle so it saved it so it's gonna be the first one on the top left I'm gonna use my finger tap on that and I'm gonna use the bottom options to rotate to the orientation where it's right side up okay so this is the scan of the cover that I just scanned it was very glossy and it removed some of the gloss so it looks like this and I'm gonna use the default camera app on my iPad and I'm gonna take the exact same photo and you can see what the difference is so pay attention to your screen right now this is the image using photo scan by Google and I'm gonna go to the default camera app and this is gonna be the final product of using the default camera app so it didn't kind of remove the glare and you can see there's the glare right between the M and the A and on the bottom as well too and it doesn't look very good but if you go back to Google Photo Scan this is the other product where it removed all the glare so you can see there is a big difference okay so that is the photo scan by Google app and I'm gonna go over one more app on your screen right now you should be seeing my Android screen but right now I'm gonna demonstrate how to use the Google Drive Scan option on my Android device so earlier I went over how to use those two apps on an iPad so now I'm using an Android device and you would have to download the Google Drive app onto your device as well and you would have to have some kind of a Google account so if you have like a Gmail account then you should sign into that and you should have the Google Drive account active and I'm gonna locate the Google Drive icon which is to the right, top right and if you don't have it yet you could go to the Google Play Store, download Drive but most likely if it's like an Android device you have the Drive app on there already but if you have like an iPad or an iPhone you go to the Apple App Store and you would type in Drive or Google Drive and you would download that app onto your device and you would sign it into your account so I'm gonna tap on the Drive icon right there it's gonna bring me in to the Google Drive app and once you tap on that and you're signed in you should give you like an image of like your previous documents and the most recent one is near the top and if you scroll down more the later ones should be on the bottom and on your screen right now you should be seeing like an image that's taken before and on the bottom of your screen there should be like a four icons from the left it should be like a home icon which is indicated by like a house and to the right of that should be the start option which has like a start icon and to the right of that should be the shared icon where there's like two people and to the right of that should be the file icon which is like the option where you access all your files and right above that you should see kind of like a plus sign in like a rainbow color so this is where we're gonna go so this is kind of activates your other options and you use your finger you will tap on that and once you tap on that it should bring you to this page right here where it gives you like all the options within the Google Drive and the only option today we're gonna look at is the scan option which is to the right of your screen and it should be like an icon that looks like a camera and you will tap on the scan option right there and it should activate the scan option okay so it's gonna activate your devices camera and you should be able to scan your document right now so I'm gonna use the same documents that I've scanned earlier on your screen right now you should be seeing what I'm seeing right now which is the sample resume that I've scanned before so I'm gonna scan it again so I'm just gonna angle it where it's within my frame and I'm gonna tap on the circle which is on the bottom of your screen this activates the process of taking the photo and it's gonna take the photo right now so give it a second okay so it should be saved right now so on your screen you should be seeing like an image of the sample resume that I just took a photo of using the Google Drive scan option and on the bottom of your screen you should see two icons one icon is X on the left and one icon is a check mark on the right so I'm gonna click on the check mark which is on the right and it should bring you to this screen right here so notice that not all of the document is within the screen so you will have to adjust it so you use the adjust option which is on the bottom right hand corner of your screen it kinda looks like a little square box you tap on that icon and it should bring you to the stage right here so I'm not sure why it's upside down so I might have taken the photo upside down but this is kinda very similar to what I went over earlier you might have to adjust the area within the screen to show your document and you would do that by clicking on any of the circles at the corners and you move it to wherever you think your document should end so I'm gonna do that real quickly okay so if I think this is good I'm gonna get done and then right now it should be saving it so I'm just gonna rotate it to the correct orientation okay so it should be right side up and this is my scan of my sample resume and if you look to the top of your screen right here it gave it like a default name and look at the very end after the numbers it is .PDF so it's saving this as a PDF form within your Google Drive account so you have this document within there and you could save it you could send it to someone else you could submit the document to someone else and that's how you would use the Google Drive scan option to scan your document and save it as a PDF and I'm gonna make a little bit of adjustments so on the bottom of your screen you have four options second option is kind of like a color palette I'm gonna tap on that so you can see what it looks like so you have these options there should be none black and white color or color drawing so I'm gonna keep it as black and white I'm gonna tap on it and hit save and it's gonna activate the process of saving your document so you can name the document like any name you want and it's gonna ask you which account you wanna save it to so that's my account right there and it's gonna ask me where do you wanna save it to it's gonna save it in my Drive folder within my Google Drive account and I'm just gonna hit save and it's gonna save it and there's your document okay so that is my presentation on how to kind of use your devices to kind of scan your documents or photos
