Walk Sheet Scan Coming Soon

Point your phone at a completed walk sheet. Flip reads the checkboxes. Outcomes are in the database before the volunteer gets back to the car.

The Paper Problem

Some volunteers prefer paper. That's fine — Flip prints walk sheets with every voter detail. But when the sheets come back, someone has to sit down and enter every outcome by hand. Six outcomes per stop, eight stops per sheet, twenty volunteers. That's a Sunday night no one signed up for.

Flip already lets a coordinator scan the QR code on a returned sheet to open the digital route and tap in outcomes. Walk Sheet Scan goes further: photograph the sheet and Flip reads the checkboxes automatically.

How It Works

1
Print the walk sheet as usual. Each page of every Flip walk sheet has a QR code in the header. The QR encodes the route token — it's everything the system needs to know which campaign, which canvass, and which route that page belongs to.
2
Photograph each page. On the coordinator dashboard, tap "Scan Sheet" on any route. Your phone camera opens. One photo per page — pages can be scanned in any order. Each page is independent because each page has its own QR.
3
Flip reads the checkboxes. Each image is processed by Azure Document Intelligence, a trained AI model that detects checked boxes, reads handwritten notes, and identifies which stop each mark belongs to. It returns a confidence score for every field.
4
High-confidence results are committed automatically. Outcomes the model is sure about go straight into the database — no review needed. Low-confidence fields are flagged for human review before anything is written.
5
Review uncertain fields in a popup. For anything the model isn't sure about, a review screen shows the flagged field alongside what the model read. Confirm it, correct it, or skip it. One tap per field. Committed when you hit Done.

Confidence-Gated Review

The model doesn't guess blindly. Every extracted field comes with a confidence score. High-confidence reads go in automatically. Low-confidence reads never touch the database until a human confirms them.

Written to the database immediately. No review needed.
70–89%
Review
Shown in the review popup, pre-filled with the model's read. One tap to confirm or correct.

Manual
Shown blank in the review popup. Coordinator selects the outcome from scratch.

Handwritten notes always go through review — the model reads them, but handwriting is handwriting.

Why Every Page Has a QR Code

A route with fifteen stops spans multiple printed pages. If only the first page has a QR, every subsequent page is anonymous — the scanner doesn't know which route or even which campaign it belongs to.

Flip prints a compact QR header on every page. Each page is a self-contained, independently scannable unit. A coordinator can photograph pages out of order, hand different pages to different people, or scan page 3 of a route without ever scanning page 1. The QR on each page tells Flip everything it needs.

No session state. No ordering dependency. No chance of outcomes landing on the wrong route.

What This Changes Operationally

Paper walk sheets no longer mean a data entry backlog. Volunteers can work paper-first the entire shift. When they return the sheets, the coordinator photographs them in the parking lot. By the time the debrief is done, the results are in the system.

Walk Sheet Scan is one piece of a complete canvassing platform. The same system handles volunteer routing, live progress tracking, yard sign placement and pickup, and phone bank call lists — all from the coordinator dashboard.
