7. From paper to WhatsApp

You have a paper document (a quote, an invoice, a letter) and your phone. With no scanner and no cable, you bring it into the editor, correct it, then send it back to your phone to share it.

What is illustrated in the video

The phone is shown as a frame on the right of the screen. Two screens belong to the phone’s own system, not to the editor: the camera and the share menu. They carry the label “Illustration”; on your phone, your own ones open instead.

7.1 Bring the paper in

1. On the computer, click Importer (Import), then Avec mon téléphone (With my phone): a QR code appears.
2. Scan it with your phone’s camera. The Photographier un document (Photograph a document) page opens.
3. Tap Photographier une page (Photograph a page), lay the document flat, well lit, and capture all of it. You can also choisir dans la galerie (choose from the gallery), and add several pages.
4. Tap Envoyer (Send): the page opens in the editor, on the computer.

7.2 Extract the text and correct it

1. Click Modifier (Edit). The editor shows the page count and the price: click Extraire (Extract).
2. If the document carries a stamp, a signature or a logo, the editor offers to keep them as images, for an extra charge. In the video, we answer Non merci (No thanks): they are then replaced by a note in square brackets.
3. The text is editable, table included. In the video, the quote’s validity goes from 30 to 15 days.

Check the figures

The AI can get an amount or a name wrong: check them against the paper before sending the document.

7.3 Send the document back to the phone

1. Switch to Aperçu (Preview), then click Exporter (Export).
2. Choose Envoyer sur mon téléphone (Send to my phone): a new QR code appears, valid for 15 minutes.
3. Scan it with your phone: the Votre document (Your document) page opens.
4. Tap Télécharger (Download) to keep the PDF, or Partager… (Share…) to send it right away via WhatsApp, e-mail or another app.

The Partager… button appears on phones whose browser can share files. If it doesn’t, download the document, then share it from your files.
