## Example Use Case: Medical Conference Note Capture

Imagine you're a healthcare provider at a medical conference. With the Avonni Document Scanner, you can:

1. Photograph a flyer detailing a new medical device directly within your Salesforce app.
2. Extract the text from the flyer, including product name, features, and contact information.
3. You can instantly save this information to a new Salesforce note or a custom "Conference Materials" object for later review.

### Notes

* The Avonni Document Scanner leverages advanced Optical Character Recognition (OCR) technology to convert images to text accurately.
* For best results, ensure images have good lighting and clear text.
