TechTip of the Week

Scan documents from your phone
brought to you by Technology Support Services  

Did you know you can scan documents from your phone? When you need to scan a document but you're on the road, it's a real pain to need to go back to the office or use a portable scanner. That's why scanner apps have become so popular. The apps, such as CamScanner for Android and Scanbot for Android and iOS, let you snap a picture of a document from your phone. The files are then saved as PDFs on your device and you can send them on.
