You'll never want to stop using Google Drive's AI feature... It only takes seconds for it to do what you do in half an hour.
Google has shown how powerful AI can be in many of its services over and over again. Gemini works with Gmail to help you write better emails and summarize them. You can also find it on YouTube and use it with Google Maps to make your own routes. But the company has another app with an AI feature that a lot of people don't know about. It's one of the best apps Google has released in the last few months. This app is Google Drive, which will save you a lot of time.
Google Drive is the best cloud service for sharing, storing, and syncing files. It offers seamless synchronization with other Google platforms, and you can easily access it using your account on any device. In addition to file storage, Drive also allows you to manage documents, even in different formats, but what many don't know is its ability to scan documents.
Google Drive's scanning feature has been available for a while, but the company recently enhanced it using artificial intelligence to make it faster and more efficient. How? This feature can now scan document pages in seconds with pinpoint accuracy. Simply point your phone's camera at the document, focus on it, and let Google Drive do the rest.
One of the standout features of Google Drive Scanner is its ability to scan multiple pages in real time and continuously. This means you can simply place a stack of documents, point the camera, and browse the pages. Artificial intelligence will then detect each page and categorize it into a single PDF file.
How to scan documents using Google Drive
The scanner feature in Google Drive is available on Android and does not require a Google AI Pro subscription. To use it, follow these steps:
- Open the Drive app and tap the "+" icon at the bottom of the screen.
- Click on the "Scan" option and grant the application the necessary permissions.
Point your phone's camera at the first page, then scan each page until the scan is complete.
To save your scans, tap the arrow at the bottom of the screen. Google Drive will then present you with various options, such as cropping the page, removing unwanted elements from the image, and applying filters to enhance its clarity. After editing the page, tap "Next" and choose whether to save the file as a PDF or JPG, as well as its name and location.
