Your Android phone’s camera can rid you of receipt clutter.<\/p>\n

Gone are the days of trying to find a scanner, or even worse, cluttering up your desk with one of those printer\/scanner combos, for the handful of times a year you need to create a digital version of a document. Apple’s iPhone<\/span> has a hidden document scanner<\/span> in its Notes app, and now Android<\/span> owners have a dedicated app from Google called Stack<\/span>.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sure, you could just snap a photo of a contract or bill to keep a digital copy of it, but then you’re going to have to deal with cropping out the background, and converting it to a PDF so you can sign it. Stack eliminates the extra work and provides a high-quality version of the document. The only thing it doesn’t do right now is provide a way to add your signature. Don’t worry, I cover how to sign documents below.<\/p>\n

Stack is available for Android phones and tablets<\/a> but limited to those who live in the US. It goes beyond just scanning on storing your documents and receipts, however. Stack will automatically identify what store a receipt is from, or the due date of a bill. Below I’ll walk you through the ins and outs of using Stack as your go-to scanner.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Scan a document and start creating stacks<\/h2>\n

After installing Stack from the Play Store<\/a>, you’ll be asked to sign in to the app using your Google account and then grant it access to media and photos on your phone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

You’re immediately taken to the home screen of Stack, where you’ll see different Stacks — or categories — for any scanned documents. Select one of the stacks to see placeholders for suggested documents to scan and store in that stack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Start a scan with a tap on the +<\/strong> button in the bottom-right corner of the screen. You’re given three options: PDF, Gallery and Camera.\u00a0<\/p>\n
