It may contain documents from your last trip abroad, fuel or restaurant receipts that should one day reach your accountant. It's not easier with personal purchase documents, which must be kept for up to two years as proof of the warranty of the purchased goods. Yet these pieces of paper are always at hand, and the most necessary ones still tend to get lost. Moreover, even the most carefully preserved checks quickly lose their legibility and become useless within weeks. All this headache is solved by phone apps, which are available for both Android and iOS. Similar applications are also available for Nokia and other systems. With this, you can save the check to your phone at the time of purchase and no longer need a paper document. Every modern accountant will be happy to get rid of paper. Everything works very easily. Place the received check on a flat surface, preferably using a background other than white. Take a picture with CamScanner. If it is satisfactory in terms of sharpness, accept the result and the app starts working: ![CamScanner1](https://grow.ee/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/camscan1.jpg) The document is automatically separated from the background. If necessary, the outlines can be corrected manually. Then the image is made into a file, which can be further processed if desired. However, this is generally not necessary. All you need to do is save the result. ![CamScanner3](https://grow.ee/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/camscan3.jpg) ![CamScanner4](https://grow.ee/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/camscan4.jpg) In this way, a paper check has become a file saved on your phone in seconds, which you can work on later. Each file can be given a unique name, a group or necessary comments can be added to it. Finally, the file must be saved to a designated directory or sent by email to any address. It seems most convenient to save the file directly to the accountant's cloud application (Google Drive, Box, Dropbox, etc.). In addition, you can leave your phone in the archive of grouped documents, where you can search for files using different identifiers. A good option is to create personal groups based on your own needs. ![CamScanner5](https://grow.ee/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/camscan5.jpg) UHY Grow accounting services offer much more than just accounting.
