Scans and Photos Become Text in Automations

v6.217.0

Snap a Photo of the Paperwork

Photograph a signed work order on site. Scan a stack of supplier invoices. Drop in a phone photo of a receipt. Taskade reads the words off the page and gives them back as text, automatically, with nothing to switch on.

  • Works on scanned PDFs, and on PNG, JPG, WebP or HEIC photos
  • No toggle, no setting, no extra step to add
  • Files up to 20 MB
  • Reading an image uses AI credits, like any AI step. A typed document is read straight through and does not. See how credits work

It Runs in the Convert File to Text Step

Add the Convert File to Text step to an automation and point it at the file. Reading the page is part of what the step does, so a photographed page and a typed document both come back as text.

The step also takes PDF, Word, PowerPoint, Excel, EPUB, CSV, TXT and Markdown.

Then the Rest of the Automation Runs

What comes back is text your next steps can act on. Create the task. Fill the row. Send the client a summary. Step-by-step setup lives in Learn.
