The photo import missed names or got them wrong

Updated 25 Jul 2026

Retake the photo

Faint handwriting, glare, or a tilted page throw the reader off. Lay the register flat, get even light, fill the frame with the list, and try Add by photo again.

Fix rows before you save

Everything the reader finds is editable on the review screen. Correct any wrong name, number, or fee — and delete stray rows — before tapping Save. Nothing is added until you save.

Split a long list

A very long or dense register reads more reliably in pieces. Photograph one page, save it, then run Add by photo again for the next.
