If there is a fold or creases in the paper this may create a shadow that confuses the camera – we are good, but not that good!  If Spotlite can’t see an A4 document, it won’t take a picture    As our machine learning algorithms get better our document recognition will improve.   In the meantime, here are some other things to watch out for:

  • The typed name, address and date must be clear and legible
  • If the document is of poor quality or print resolution it may fail to scan, try taking the scan in improved lighting conditions or where there is not so much glare or contrast
  • However, given the right light, Spotlite will take a snap of the document, although if the quality is bad you might have to make some adjustment.
