Google just announced that it is launching a new experimental
app called “Stack”, which is aimed at helping people organize their paperwork digitally.
The way this app will work is that you will be required to take a picture of your document, which may be a receipt, bill, ID, or some other kind of a physical document. The app will then scan it and categorize it. Eventually, the most relevant information of your scanned document will be extracted, which you can then access any time you need it.
For example, Stack will recognize an important information
of your document, such as a due date, and then store it for you. You can then
search for it, or any other text in your scanned document.
Moreover, your scanned documents can be backed up to
Google Drive, so any time you stop using Stack, you will still have access to
the documents in Drive.
It is important to note though, that the app is for
experimental purpose. It is also important that you customize security when
you log in, through a scan of your face or fingerprint.
