Turning physical forms into digital files

• Scan documents with Google Drive on your mobile device camera.
   
• Download a document scanner app for your phone (Adobe Scan (for Android and iOS), CamScanner, TurboScan, Scanner Pro, Genius Scan, Prizmo)
  • These apps turn the camera of your phone into a document scanner so you can scan and upload your document. 
  • This website lists these different apps and the pros/cons of each.
     
• Use a local scanner
  • Scanning the document to your computer will take that physical document into a digital file that you are then able to send.
