When a photo is too hard to read on-device

Scanning runs on your device. When a glary CDU beats it, Full Access escalates that one photo to a stronger reader.

The scan screen framing an OOOI page, with auto-capture, a shutter, an upload-photo button and coaching about glare and filling the frame.
  1. Every scan is read on your device first. That is what makes scanning work with no signal, and it means the ordinary case never leaves the aircraft.

  2. What triggers the escalation

    Confidence, not preference. When the on-device read cannot cross-check the times against the page's own BLOCK and FLIGHT totals - usually glare, a smudged screen, or a photograph taken at an angle - that single image is sent to a stronger reader and the better answer comes back.

  3. You are never billed for it

    The escalation is funded by the app, not metered to you. There is no per-scan charge and no credit balance to watch.

  4. If you would rather it did not

    Turn it off in Settings. Scanning keeps working on-device exactly as before; you will simply correct a hard photo by hand more often.
