Use the camera to add addresses to your route with less typing

See how to read a label with the camera in Genne, check the recognized address and add the stop to your plan.

By Time Genne

Typing addresses one by one can delay planning, especially when the information is already printed on package labels.

In Genne, you can use your phone camera to read a label and use the recognized address when adding a stop. The feature reduces manual typing while keeping an important step: you check the result before continuing.

How to add an address with the camera

  1. Open the route planner and choose the option to add a stop.
  2. Select the camera action.
  3. Frame the label in a well-lit place.
  4. Wait for the reading and check the recognized text.
  5. Correct any information as needed.
  6. Confirm the address and add the stop to the route.

For a better reading, keep the entire label in the frame and avoid glare, shadows or movement. If the text is faded, folded or incomplete, use address search and check it manually.

Check before continuing

The camera helps speed up data entry, but review is still necessary. Check the street, number, additional details, city and CEP. This check prevents an incomplete reading from placing the stop in the wrong location.

After adding the addresses, organize or optimize the sequence, review the points on the map and only then start the route.

Camera-based address reading is available in the app. Download Genne on Google Play and try it during your next planning session.
