CamScanner Download/Use Instructions
Another way for students to be able to turn in their homework
using their smart phones:
DOWNLOADING THE APP
- First, you will need to download the app on your phone from the app store (iphone users) or google play(android users). Below is a picture of the app icon:
- Open the installed app and SKIP the guide pages. SIGNUP with your school email (@gwisd.us). Using your school email will allow you to use their premium services for free during this time.
- Once you are signed up, you will see a pop-up window that looks like this:
- Press “Read More” and then press “Activate Free” to add the premium service to your account.
USING THE APP
- Open your CamScanner App. From the homepage, click on the camera at the bottom of the screen. Press “OK” to allow CamScanner to access your camera.
- If you are scanning one page only, select “single” at the bottom of the screen. If you are scanning MORE than one page, select “batch” at the bottom of the page.
- Begin taking pictures by pressing the camera on the screen. Each picture will automatically save, so you are able to continuously take pictures.
- When finished, press the right arrow key at the bottom of the page (it will have a red circle with the number of pages you are scanning).
- This brings you to the edit/selection page. If you scanned multiple pages, it will show the last page first. Use the green box with circles to adjust the area of the page you wish to include in the scan. (tip: do not worry about it looking like a picture, it will fix itself shortly!)
- You will need to go through each page scanned to make sure the area selected is correct. You do this by using the black arrow by the page numbers at the bottom of the screen. Do not click the green check box until you are finished with this step.
- Once you are finished with the edit/selection, press the green arrow box at the bottom right-hand side of the screen.
- Give it a few seconds to convert to a PDF document. Once it is finished, all of your scanned pages will appear on the screen. At the bottom of the screen, press the email option, then press PDF.
- At the top right, press send. This will automatically open a new email box with your scanned document already attached.
- Enter your teacher’s email address in the “To:” line.
- In the subject line, please remove what is there and type your name and the assignment name.
- Press send!
*Your document will automatically save in your CamScanner app.
