Scan and save a document by voice

Frame a paper document with spoken guidance, let Lumyeye Pro capture and summarize it, then choose whether to share it and save a named file. Return to the saved document later to read it or ask about its contents.

Safety notice: Readings may omit or misread numbers, names and deadlines. Verify important information with a reliable, accessible source, and health information with a doctor or pharmacist. Detailed precautions.

How does the document scan work?

Spoken framing guidance. The camera assistant tells you when to move the phone right, left, higher or lower so the document fits in view. You can concentrate on the voice instead of judging the preview on screen. Once the framing conditions are met, the photo is taken automatically; the scan flow also lets you retake a page or add another page.

Text recognition and cropping. OCR extracts text from the captured document so Lumyeye Pro can identify what it is about and give an automatic spoken summary. The scan is cropped around the document to reduce visible hands and objects beside the page. Check the result when the edges or lighting make capture difficult.

A continuous conversation. After the scan, Lumyeye Pro offers to share the document or skip sharing, then guides you through the destination folder and file name. Email can include the PDF. On iPhone, Messages can attach the PDF when the file and attachment support are available; a simple text SMS does not carry a PDF. Check whether the composer contains the expected text or attachment, then confirm Send.

From capture to filing

A scan you can find again.

  1. Choose whether to share. Select email or messaging, identify the recipient and review the prepared content before confirming. Email can carry the PDF; messaging depends on the platform and supported attachment type. You can decline sharing and continue to saving.
  2. Choose a folder. Say the name of an existing folder in your phone’s files, or create a new folder during the conversation.
  3. Name the document. Accept the app’s suggested name or speak the file name you prefer.
  4. Ask for it later. Request the saved document by name or folder, ask Lumyeye Pro to read or summarize it, or ask for a detail such as an amount, date or reference. The file must remain accessible to the app.

You can keep files in local storage on your phone. A connected folder may instead be cloud-synced: the English scan, share and save recording uses iCloud. Local storage does not mean that every recognition or AI step runs offline.

Frequently asked questions

Scanning, naming and finding your files.

Can I create a folder while saving?

Yes. Tell Lumyeye Pro the name of the new folder during the spoken filing flow.

Must I choose the subject and file name myself?

No. OCR helps the app suggest a subject and a file name. You can also say the names you want.

Can Lumyeye Pro read a saved document later?

Ask it to read or summarize the saved document in its folder, or ask about an extracted amount, date or reference. For example: “Can you read my electricity letter in Household bills?” Check important details against the original document.

Keep your documents within reach.

Try a familiar printed page: scan it, hear its summary, choose whether to share it, then save it with a file name in a folder you can find. Later, when the file is accessible to the app, ask about a detail in it and check the answer against the original.

The sharing and saving demo is an additional iPhone recording, separate from the original scanning video at the top of this page. It shows message preparation, naming and saving; later questions about a saved file are not shown.
