I tried the scan function and with a note 4 phone which has a good camera the txt looked like crap. I do however like that you can complain on the feedback app, reading the reviews by other drivers is a good laugh.
-
I was wondering about that feature.
If it works well enough I might change to a smart phone just to use that app.
Also, are you viewing the picture on the phone, or a larger screen? -
Bottom line, if you think an in cab camera is intrusive and Swift might abuse it ... let them into your phone have the keys to your life.
As for scanning. I expect to be no more effective than the kiosk. The back office system do not track anything scanned into a kiosk, If Swift loses it you have to rescan. With Transflo you can access any of your scans with the tracking number on your receipt. More than once I've had Swift claim they didn't receive something and I could pull it up on Transflo and say oh yes you did and they would then retrieve it form Transflo themselves ... with the kiosk, it was, oh well, we didn't get it and you scan receipt means nothing. -

Also wondering why in the help video the driver is taking photo of a trip sheet when the app makes a trip sheet using Information from load info you select.
-
Are you sure about that, or just guessing?
The trip sheets have a unique bar code, which is why we can't simply make copies or use the same one over and over again. Does the app generate a new bar code each time? -
It does not 'pull the text out of the photo', it simply transmits an image. That is what TransFlo does, as well as a kiosk terminal scanner.
There is no OCR (Optical Character Recognition) involved in the process.
It scans an image into a .JPG format (or .PNG or whatever) at whatever resolution the scanner is set for.
Using the app creates a middleman in the process, that might degrade the quality of that image.
So now I'm wondering how many scans might not get processed because of the degradation.sisterannie Thanks this. -
