You can:  - Allow for select photos that you can choose through the **Select Photos **option  - **Allow access to all photos **- this will not prompt your permission in the future.  - **Don't Allow**  - you will not be able to take a picture until you choose one of the options above.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-07-1782-PM.png?width=295&height=209&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-07-1782-PM.png) If you did not allow the Camera to take pictures the first time by tapping on **Don't allow**, next time when you open the camera, you will get a notification to adjust your **Settings** to grant **Photos **permission to ExpensePoint™:  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-16-1136-PM.png?width=408&height=831&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-16-1136-PM.png) If you have selected **Allow Access to All Photos** or the** Selected Photos, you** will then be prompted to pick the picture(s) from your **Camera Roll.**  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-27-8014-PM.png?width=408&height=831&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-27-8014-PM.png) Tap on Done once you've finished selecting it, and the picture will be automatically saved to your **Receipt Wallet**.  Otherwise, tap on the Settings option from the message, and your **Device Settings **screen will open to let you adjust the settings.     ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-40-6117-PM.png?width=215&height=440&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-40-6117-PM.png) Tap on Photos:  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-45-9754-PM.png?width=337&height=38&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-45-9754-PM.png) This will open the options to Allow Photo Access:  - Selected Photos - remember this will allow you to select photos only this time.  - All Photos - this will allow you to choose photos from your phone album anytime in the future.  - None - this will not allow you use the camera and you will get the permissions message again in future.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-51-0527-PM.png?width=366&height=742&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-06-51-0527-PM.png) **Voice**  To do that, tap on the microphone icon at the bottom right corner of the screen and say the description you want the microphone to record. Then, view microphone troubleshooting.    **Scan text**  1. If you'd like to transcribe the vendor's name or other description for the receipt, you can use the Scan text function. Tap on the description field once again to make the Scan text appear. Once you tap on it, scan the area you wish to transcribe and hold until you see the scanner selecting the right area for your transcription. If the selection looks good, tap the Insert button to use that description for your receipt.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-07-50-1579-PM.png?width=436&height=121&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-07-50-1579-PM.png) ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-3.jpeg?width=258&height=517&name=undefined-3.jpeg)   If the voice interpreter is not working, tap on the microphone and then on the Dictation Languages.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-4.jpeg?width=213&height=419&name=undefined-4.jpeg) Ensure that the language you speak is enabled in the Dictation Languages screen.  ![](https://support.expensepoint.com/hs-fs/hubfs/undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-08-19-3666-PM.png?width=279&height=568&name=undefined-Dec-26-2023-11-08-19-3666-PM.png)
