There’s a wide variety of apps that can make your documents as mobile as you are
Meeting planners are constantly on the move. Now, with the power of smartphone apps, the documents necessary to execute events can be just as mobile. With them you can send and receive important documents with just a few taps.
One popular option for iPhone users is FAXER. This handy app allows you to send faxes directly from your phone, using PDFs, images, or even by scanning documents directly within the app. They offer a trial period so you can test it out before committing to a monthly subscription. Android users have plenty of comparable apps available on Google Play.
Desktop and laptop versions of these apps are also available, providing seamless faxing capabilities whether you’re at your desk or working remotely. And if you’re simply looking to digitize documents on the go, your phone may already have built-in tools. One iPhone pre-installed app called “Scan Document” allows users to scan multiple pages into a shareable PDF.
For those seeking a powerful yet free scanning solution, Turboscan comes highly recommended. This app has become a favorite among meeting professionals, replacing traditional scanners with its impressive functionality.
