Turn a school letter into calendar dates and tasks.
Capture a letter with Lerra Scan. It suggests dates, jobs and checklists; you check the details and choose what to save. The captured original can stay in Family Files.
Editorial document artwork, not a screenshot of a scan result.
How Lerra Scan works.
The letter about sports day includes a date, a time and three things to bring. The party invitation has an address and an RSVP. Those details are easy to miss when the paper goes into a pile.
Lerra Scan can suggest events, tasks and checklists from a photographed page. You can capture more pages together to keep the original as a PDF, but check each page yourself: extracting suggestions across multiple pages is not yet supported. Review each suggestion before choosing what belongs in your family plans.
What Lerra Scan can read.
The point is not to trust a scan blindly. It is to make the useful details easier to act on.
Bring in the original
Capture a school letter, newsletter or club timetable as pages. Multiple captured pages can be combined into a PDF.
Review the suggestions
Check any suggested events, tasks or checklists, especially names, times and dates. Extraction can make mistakes.
Keep what matters
Choose what to use in your family space. The original is archived in Family Files for reference.
A letter can become a plan. Only after you review it.
A letter may contain several kinds of action. Scan helps surface them without pretending the extraction is perfect.
- Capture the pagesPhotograph a notice or capture several pages and combine them into a PDF.
- See suggested detailsPossible events, tasks and checklists are extracted for review.
- Check before you use themRead the source again, especially dates, times and names.
- Keep the originalThe source is archived in Family Files for reference.
One letter, different destinations
A trip date might become a calendar event; returning the permission slip might become a task; things to bring might become a checklist. Review each suggestion and decide what to keep, then return to the original in Family Files if you need to verify it.
Check the source, not just the result
Extraction can miss or misread information. Multi-page PDFs here are made from pages you capture, not a promise to process an arbitrary PDF upload.
From school letter to family plan.
An illustrative flow, not a product screen or a guarantee that every detail will be recognised.

Your documents and privacy.
Scan only what you choose. For how Lerra handles document content, AI processing and retention, see the privacy policy. We do not claim that AI processing is retention-free.
The class trip needs more than a calendar date.
A school notice might suggest the trip date, a task to return a form and a checklist for the day. Scan gives you a starting point to inspect, not a promise that every detail is perfectly understood.
Lerra Scan FAQs

Will every document be read perfectly?
No. Extraction can be incomplete or mistaken, especially for dates and names. Review suggestions against the original before saving anything.
