When using Scan Input, the most common questions are about permissions, recognition quality, and membership status; this FAQ includes 3 common questions and a short glossary.
FAQ
Why can’t I find the Scan Input entry?
- Make sure you are using WPS Spreadsheet and that you are signed in.
- Check your membership status, because Scan Input requires an active membership.
- Look for the entry under Tools > Insert, or double-tap a cell and check the upper-left area of the input box.
- If the entry still does not appear, update WPS Office and reopen the spreadsheet.
What should I do if scan recognition fails?
- Make sure the captured content is clear and visible, with limited blur, shadow, or glare.
- Adjust the distance so the full area you want to recognize is inside the frame.
- Use materials with clearer table or text layout when possible.
- Capture the content again, or import a clearer file or image from Add Document or Photo Library.
Which permissions do I need before using Scan Input?
- Allow camera access before using camera-based capture.
- Allow photo access if you want to import images from the photo library.
- Allow file access if you want to add materials from documents.
- After permission is granted, reopen the Scan Input page and continue.
