Paper work orders — into your system by photo

The tech filled a form at intake; the customer signed. Photo the form — fields in JSON for your shop software, CRM, or spreadsheet. No end-of-day typing pile.

File deleted within an hour · No card — 40 recognitions/month after sign-up · Pay by card from your account

Sound familiar?

  • Intake on paper, records in software — bridged by hand every day.
  • A stack of work orders waits for data entry at closing.
  • You need last week’s notes but only have a scan.

Common questions

Our branded form?

If fields are readable on the photo — yes. Test on 5–10 real work orders first.

Do I need to review the output?

Yes. Toolsy speeds up typing, not judgment — especially names, numbers, and totals.

What if the photo is crooked or glarey?

Lighting and framing matter more than anything. Retake in even light, full page in frame, no finger on the text. Unreadable bits are marked [?].

Can I try without a card?

Yes. After sign-up you get an API key with 40 recognitions per month. For steady volume, pick a plan in your account.

Ready to try on your documents?

Start with one file in the tool — no card. For your site or app, set up the API in your account: instant key, 40 free recognitions/month after sign-up.
