    Can anybody tell me how much trans flow cost the company? I’m a driver for a broker that bought a truck. We’re using a mobile app to scan documents but he says they are not coming through clearly and I have to rescan more than I would like to. I just want to know the cost before I recommend the service. Thank you in advance for any replies.

    I think just a couple bucks a accepted transaction.
    That is what I was charged by a company.

    That's interesting. I've been using Camscanner app for several years and had never had a payer complain about the readability of docs.

    25 or 30 cents a document where I'm leased onto.

    Maybe it's the phone.

    You make sure clean lens.

    I had that problem too. Subscribed to a internet fax and used my printer scanner.
     
    Bean Jr. Thanks this.

    YES! I use it too on my Ipad... I got Loves factoring tho so if I wanted to I could fax everything in for free but that scanner is so much easier!

    Might try a better scanner, I use this one
    Brother DSmobile 620 Portable Sheetfed Scanner and it works great. Sets up easy with a laptop and Transflo software.

    I'd rescan the documents on my phone using the Transflo app a dozen times before I would pay even $1. About 25% of the docs I scan using the Transflo Mobile+ app need to be scanned, actually I just take a pic with my phone and adjust the border around the document.

    Transflo is already outdated, just like Pandora (music). Most people who own a smartphone with a decent camera can easily take a picture of documents and email them, or in the case of some mega motor carriers, they have apps where you can submit documents.

    You can also use CamScanner app to edit your documents. The “magic color” feature they have works very well in making any terrible picture look legible. I believe the Transflo app has this feature as well.

    As already mentioned, make sure your camera lens and flash light cover are clean.

    For faxing, there is the iFax app on the iphone that works very well to send or receive. I don’t use it much, though. I mostly use CamScanner app for editing pictures and coverting them to PDF, among other cool features.
