Aging eyes, messy slips and small text some times make reading amounts difficult. Has anyone experimented in projecting slips on a monitor and/or zooming in on screen? What did you use for camera and software?
Doxcycle handles this currently.
We scan all the paper slips we get, and from there we can zoom in on DoxCycle. For rare things that are digital, sometimes I have to use photo editing to brighten up slips or sharpen them before I load them into DoxCycle but that only works if the resolution of the picture is high enough to do that.
I also scan all my slips to PDF. I often have to scroll to make slips larger depending on the quality of the original. Other than a large bottle of Tylenol, a scanner is the best investment you could make for tax season. I don’t use DoxCycle but there are many PDF programs that will allow you to enlarge the view.
I use Systane Ultra eye drops. Plus, my big boy glasses. I scan everything. Some clients send a photo of a slip. I convert that to pdf. If I can’t read it, I tell my client to read it and send me the box #'s and amounts. I don’t have the time to frig around with something I can’t read.
Topic = Difficulty reading slips.
Love this thread. I scan everything and save to a document management app as well as my one premise drive. Love my Fujitsu scanners both ScanSnap and Twain FI
@AlbertaEFileT Which photo editing software do you use? I have tried a few but always looking for something better and faster,
Which PDF software? I use a few.
Sorry guys but i just stick with doxcycle because i can enlarge the scan from there
