We now offer a Dialer scanning feature for iOS devices that lets you use your camera to scan a phone number right from the Dialer tab.
NOTE: The scanner may not be able to read handwritten phone numbers if the writing is unclear.
When scanning handwritten numbers, it may take 10–15 seconds to detect the number, and in some cases, the scan may fail.
Here is how to use the number scanning feature in Dialer:
- Access the Doximity app
- Tap on the 'Dialer' tab
- Tap on the Dialer scanning feature located on the right-hand side above the dial pad
- You will be prompted to allow access to your phone's camera
- Tap the 'Shutter' button at the bottom of the screen to take a photo
- Next, tap the yellow bar containing the phone number that you scanned
You will now see the scanned phone number appear in the Dialer tab
- Tap 'Video' or 'Phone' to start the call
