The Print function in the context of a Scanmarker device refers to the ability to print out three types of text data that have been processed by the scanner:

Scanned Text: This is the original text that has been scanned by the Scanmarker device. It includes the text as it was captured from the physical document, with any errors or discrepancies that may have occurred during scanning.
Translated Text: If the Scanmarker device is paired with a translation feature, this option allows users to print the text that has been translated from one language to another. The translation could be based on the original scanned text.
All Text: This option combines both the scanned text and the translated text (if applicable) into a single document. It allows users to view and print all the text, both the original and the translated version, in one place for easy comparison or further use.

The Print function typically formats these options for easy printing, enabling users to create physical copies of the text for study, reference, or other purposes.

The Share function in Scanmarker allows users to easily share scanned and translated text to various platforms such as Gmail, Google Drive, and Facebook. Each platform requires a login to ensure secure access and sharing of content. Here's how each option works:

1. Share Scanned Text:

Gmail: You can share the scanned text directly through Gmail by composing an email and attaching the scanned text. A login to your Gmail account is required to send the email and authenticate the action.
Google Drive: You can upload the scanned text to your Google Drive for cloud storage or sharing. Logging into your Google account ensures the file is uploaded to your Drive and can be shared with others as needed.
Facebook: You can share the scanned text to your Facebook feed or with specific friends or groups. Logging into your Facebook account is necessary for posting the scanned text to your profile or any Facebook page/group.

2. Share Translated Text:

Gmail: Similar to sharing scanned text, you can share the translated text via Gmail. You would log into your Gmail account to send an email with the translated text attached.
Google Drive: You can save the translated text to Google Drive and share it from there, making it accessible from any device. Login to your Google account is required for saving and sharing.
Facebook: If you want to share the translated text to Facebook, you can post it on your feed or a group, with the requirement of logging into your Facebook account for authentication.

Why Login is Required:

Security: Logging in ensures that only authorized users have access to their email, cloud storage, or social media accounts.
Sharing and Access Control: Logging in allows you to select specific recipients, control privacy settings, and manage who can access or see the content.
Personalization: Logging in ensures that the content is associated with your personal account, making sharing seamless across multiple devices.

By requiring a login for each platform, Scanmarker ensures that sharing is secure, personalized, and controlled, whether you're sending a document via email, saving it to the cloud, or posting on social media.

The Export function in Scanmarker allows users to save and export scanned and translated text into various formats, such as PDF, Word, JPG, and MP3. Each format has unique benefits depending on the user's needs. Here’s how each export option works and the advantages it provides:

PDF:
How it works: Translated text can be exported as a PDF, preserving the translation’s format and layout. This is ideal when sharing finalized translations in professional formats.
Benefits:
- Clear and professional format for sharing with clients or colleagues.
- Preserves translation quality and context.

Word:
- How it works: Scanned text is exported as a Microsoft Word document, making it editable for further revisions.

  - Can be used for further processing (e.g., adding comments, formatting).
  - Convenient for academic or work-related tasks that require ongoing edits.
JPG:
- How it works: The scanned text is converted into a high-quality image format (JPG). This option is useful when you want to save the scanned text as a static image.
- Benefits:
  - Suitable for sharing images on social media or presentations.
  - Ideal for documents that don’t need to be edited but need to be visually shared.
MP3:
- How it works: Scanned text can be converted into an audio file (MP3) through a text-to-speech function.

  - Useful for studying or reviewing documents when reading isn’t an option.

The Upload File function in Scanmarker allows you to upload documents in various formats (such as .doc, .pdf, .txt, and .jpeg) for processing. Here’s how it works:

How It Works:

Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Once you upload your file, Scanmarker automatically applies OCR to the document. OCR technology scans the text within the document, recognizing characters and converting them into editable text.
Editable Copy: The OCR process converts the scanned text into a fully editable copy. If you upload a PDF or JPEG, for instance, Scanmarker will convert it into a text format that can be modified, saved, or exported into other formats such as Word, PDF, or JPEG.

Supported File Types for Upload:

.docs (Word documents)
.pdf (PDF documents)
.txt (Plain text files)
.jpeg (JPEG image files)

Warning:

When uploading a file, a warning message will appear to remind you that uploading a new file will delete all your existing work. This means that any previous scanned or processed text within the platform will be lost unless it has been saved or exported. You will be prompted to confirm if you want to upload the new file to ensure that you are aware of this action.

Export Options:

Before uploading a file, you have the option to export your current work. You can save your existing text as:

PDF for sharing or archiving.
Word document for further editing.
JPEG for visual presentation or sharing.

This ensures that your work is not lost and can be preserved in another format before uploading a new file.

The Account function in Scanmarker provides users with the ability to manage their account settings, including two key actions: logout and delete account permanently.

1. Logout:

What it does: The Logout option allows you to sign out of your Scanmarker account. This ensures that no one else can access your account on the current device. Logging out is particularly useful if you are using a shared or public device.
When to use: Use this option when you’ve finished using your Scanmarker account and want to secure your information.

2. Delete Account Permanently:

What it does: The Delete Account Permanently option removes your Scanmarker account and all associated data from the platform. This includes your scanned text, settings, and any other personal information tied to the account.
Important Consideration: This action is irreversible. Once your account is deleted, it cannot be recovered, and all your data will be lost permanently. You should only choose this option if you no longer wish to use Scanmarker and want to erase your information from the platform.
When to use: Use this option when you have decided to stop using Scanmarker entirely and wish to remove all your data from the system.

Both functions are located in the Account settings, providing you with control over your login and privacy preferences.

The Learning AI function in Scanmarker is an advanced feature that utilizes ChatGPT technology to help users summarize text, making it more efficient for reading and comprehension. Here's an explanation of how it works:

How Learning AI Works:

AI Summarization: The Learning AI is designed to analyze and summarize text. It uses artificial intelligence powered by ChatGPT, which is capable of understanding complex text and condensing it into shorter, more digestible summaries. This feature is especially useful for students, researchers, or professionals who need to quickly extract key information from large documents.
Functionality: The AI processes the scanned text and generates a summary that highlights the most important points. This summary is designed to maintain the essence of the original content while reducing the length and complexity.

Credits System:

The Learning AI feature is available to users on a monthly credit system, providing 50 credits per month.
- How it works: Each time you use the Learning AI to summarize text, a certain number of credits will be consumed. Once your monthly credits are used up, you will need to wait until the next month for additional credits or purchase more credits if you need to use the service beyond the free limit.
- Credits Allocation: 50 credits per month should provide ample access to the summarization feature, depending on the length and complexity of the documents you are processing.

Benefits:

Efficiency: Summarizing large documents with the help of AI saves time by reducing the amount of text that needs to be read.
Clarity: It helps users focus on the main ideas and key points, making it easier to understand complex material quickly.
Time-Saving: Ideal for professionals or students who need to quickly digest large amounts of text without missing critical details.

By leveraging the power of ChatGPT, the Learning AI feature significantly enhances productivity and comprehension when dealing with large or complex documents.

How it works:
- After scanning or selecting the desired text in the app, you can click or tap the Read Selected button.
