Faxes have more or less been replaced by the email these days<\/strong>. While it is no longer the de facto method of sending important documents, a fax machine can still serve as a decent alternative to the email<\/strong> in times of needs. As such, we\u2019ll be taking a look at two tools that can help you with your faxing needs<\/strong> right through your Android device.<\/p>\n

CamScanner<\/a><\/h2>\n

Those who are looking for a more mobile way to send their faxes will most likely be looking for a free app that can help them with their needs. For Android users, that app can be found through CamScanner.<\/p>\n

\"cam<\/figure>\n

As the name may clue you in, CamScanner is primarily an app that scans and saves documents<\/strong> to your device by using the camera on said device<\/strong>. To add a document to CamScanner, you can either manually scan a document of your own, after which the app would automatically adjust the scanned image and convert it into a PDF<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Alternatively, you could just import an existing document from your device\u2019s gallery<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"import<\/figure>\n

Once the document is in CamScanner:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Proceed to fax it by opening the document<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
  2. Select the Share<\/strong> option and choose the Upload\/ Print\/ Fax <\/strong>option.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Unfortunately, the act of faxing the document isn\u2019t free, so you\u2019ll need to top up your account\u2019s balance by selecting the Recharge option.<\/p>\n

    \"select<\/figure>\n

    HelloFax<\/a><\/h2>\n

    If an app isn\u2019t what you\u2019re looking for, there is an online web tool that can help you send faxes as well. Called HelloFax, this particular web tool is lets you send faxes directly from your web browser of choice.<\/p>\n

    \"hellofax\"<\/figure>\n

    The way HelloFax works is very straightforward, once you\u2019ve signed up for an account:<\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Go to the Send a Fax<\/strong> page.<\/li>\n
    2. Upload<\/strong> the document you wish to fax.<\/li>\n
    3. Insert a fax number<\/strong> in the provided box.<\/li>\n
    4. Click the Send<\/strong> button.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
      \"send<\/figure>\n

      Unlike CamScanner, HelloFax does let you send five faxes for free<\/strong>. Once those five faxes are sent though, you\u2019ll need to subscribe to a plan to continue using it.<\/p>\n

      On top of that, you\u2019ll only be able to receive faxes once you\u2019re subscribed to a plan<\/strong>. Restrictive though HelloFax may be, the service is a decent one if all you\u2019re looking for is to send a one-off fax<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
