Camera OCR is for the paper still floating around most operations — a legacy incident pad, a third-party steward's handwritten note, a form filled in before a phone was to hand. Rather than re-typing it, photograph it and let the system read it.
When to use it
Anywhere a handwritten form already exists and needs to become a proper digital record: end-of-shift paperwork from contractors, historical logs you're digitising, or a quick note taken on paper during a fast-moving incident.
How it works
Open a new incident, choose Camera OCR, and photograph the form. The AI reads the handwriting and drafts the incident fields from it — type, location, description and so on. As with every AI-drafted report, review the fields before saving; nothing is final until you do.
Limitations
Poor handwriting, faint pen, or a damaged or creased form can all reduce accuracy. Treat the draft as a starting point rather than a finished report, and correct anything that doesn't match the original form.
