Saving and sharing a scan
Android · iPhone · quillo.trUpdated:
Where: Scan › page list › Save.
The Save screen has the page size (Image, A4 and so on) and these options:
Type the scan's name in the "File name" field at the top, or tap the microphone next to it and say it; if you leave it empty, it is named with the date and time (for receipts the store, date and amount are suggested).
- 1"Save to library": saved as a PDF and the text recognised on the device; the reader doesn't open and you aren't pushed into reading. The document goes to the "Scans" folder in the library, to open whenever you like.
"Save and listen": saves the same way, then opens the document ready to read.
- 1"Append to an existing document": the pages are added to the end of the document you choose (not possible for password-protected documents).
- 2"Share as PDF", "Share as Word" (text recognised, an editable .docx), "Share as JPEG / PNG" (each page as a separate image), "Share as text" (the OCR text).
- 3"Print": the system print window opens (a printer or save as PDF).
- 4"Save PDF to device": you choose a folder in Downloads or on Drive.
The "Searchable PDF" switch embeds the recognised text as an invisible layer in the PDF; the file becomes searchable and copyable in any PDF reader. Sharing as Word and searchable PDFs are both free.
Tip: If Settings › Sync › "Keep a copy in Documents/Quillo" is on, scans are also saved to the phone's Documents folder; they stay even if the app is uninstalled.
Web (quillo.tr): The Save step has "File name", the page size and the text recognition status, plus "Save to library" (returns to the library), "Save and listen" (opens the document), "Share" and "Download PDF".
