Quick Document Capture

The fastest way to digitize a paper document. Take a photo (or select from your gallery), and Nocarta handles text extraction, field detection, auto-fill, and email delivery — all in one guided flow.


Complete Automation

The flow walks you through 5 steps:

  1. Capture — Take a photo or upload your paper document (multiple pages supported)
  2. Analyze — Nocarta reads the text and detects all fillable fields automatically
  3. Fill — Review detected fields and complete the values (with auto-fill from your profile)
  4. Send — Enter a recipient email and send the completed form
  5. Share — Get a QR code so anyone can reuse the same digitized template

Step 1: Capture

  1. Open Templates and click New Template
  2. Take a photo using your camera, or Choose from gallery to select an existing image
  3. Give the form a name (a default name with today's date is suggested)
  4. A thumbnail strip appears showing your captured pages
  5. Optionally tap a thumbnail to edit the image (rotate, crop, adjust brightness)
  6. Add more pages if your document has multiple pages
  7. Click Next to submit

Multi-page support:

  • Multiple photos: Select several images at once from your gallery
  • PDF files: Upload a PDF and each page is automatically split into separate images (up to 20 pages)
  • Add more: Use the Add Page button to capture additional pages after the first one

Long Documents (Panorama)

For a document larger than one photo, click Scan long document next to the photo buttons: pan the camera slowly over it (or pick several overlapping photos) and the frames are merged into a single page before analysis. Use the direction toggle for vertical (long) or horizontal (wide) documents.


Step 2: Analyze

After clicking Next, Nocarta processes your images automatically:

  1. Images are uploaded to the server
  2. Text and structure are read from the document using text extraction
  3. Fillable fields are detected and labeled
  4. A progress screen shows the status — this usually takes a few seconds

No action required on your part during this step.


Step 3: Fill

After analysis, you see a form with all detected fields. Nocarta compares field labels with data saved in your profile (name, phone, address, ID, etc.) and suggests pre-filled values:

  • Tap Use it to accept a suggestion
  • Tap I'll type it to enter a different value manually
  • Fields not matched from your profile are left blank for you to fill in

To improve auto-fill coverage, add your common details in Settings.


Step 4: Send

On the review screen you can:

  • See a summary of all fields and how many are filled
  • Expand each page section to review individual field values
  • Enter a recipient email to send the completed form
  • Add an optional personal message
  • Click Send to deliver the filled form by email

There is a daily send limit. The remaining count is shown on the review screen.


Step 5: Share (QR Code)

After sending, you receive a QR code that links directly to the digitized template. Anyone who scans it can fill and submit the same form. This is useful for:

  • Reusing the same paper form repeatedly without re-scanning
  • Sharing a form with colleagues or customers
  • Posting the QR code on the original paper document for easy access

Image Editor

Tap any thumbnail to open the built-in image editor. This is the same editor available in Image Preparation (Advanced menu), with all the same tools:

  • Rotate (slider + quick 90°/180°/270° buttons)
  • Brightness and contrast adjustment
  • Crop
  • Auto-straighten (straighten tilted photos)
  • Reset to original

Click Save to apply your edits — the thumbnail updates with the edited version.


Tips

  • Good lighting matters. Take photos in well-lit conditions for better reading accuracy.
  • Straighten before submitting. Use the image editor to straighten tilted photos — even small rotations affect reading quality.
  • Crop to the document. Remove the table, desk, or background around the document for cleaner results.
  • Use PDF for multi-page. If you have a scanner, scan to PDF and upload — page splitting is automatic.
  • Fill your profile. Add your name, phone, and address in Settings to auto-fill future forms.
