Turn a letter into a task
A letter with a deadline needs four things: a readable original, a specific action, a checked date and a way back to the document. In Omnido, you can attach a photo, check the AI’s suggestions and turn them into a task. These four steps also work when you enter the details yourself.
Transcript (German)
Brief als Aufgabe: so geht es mit Omnido im Browser.
Unser erfundener Beispielbrief: Anmeldung bis 4. Dezember, Kurs am 12. Dezember.
1. Wähle „Erfassen“, schreib dazu, was du wissen willst, und häng das Foto an.
Die volle KI-Auswertung liest den Brief. Die Wartezeit ist gekürzt.
2. Lies den vorgeschlagenen Titel: Er soll sagen, was du tun musst.
3. Prüfe das Datum am Original: Anmeldeschluss oder Kurstag?
4. „Übernehmen“ speichert die geprüfte Aufgabe mit dem Brief als Anhang.
Öffne die Aufgabe und ruf den Anhang auf: Der Brief bleibt dabei.

1. Keep a readable original
Photograph the whole letter in good light. Before uploading it, check that the sender, date and deadline are readable. Only upload documents you are allowed to process there; choose a non-confidential letter for your first attempt.
In the web app, choose “Capture”, type something like “What do I need to do with this letter?”, attach the image and choose “Next”. Omnido supports photos and PDFs: up to 10 attachments per capture, each at most 20 MB. Full AI analysis reads up to 10 pages per PDF. The privacy policy explains which contents are sent to AI providers.
2. Name the next action
“First aid course” describes a topic. “Register for the first aid course” tells you what to do.
Our fictional sample letter asks you to register by 4 December 2026; the course is on 12 December. The task becomes “Register for the first aid course”. Put the details needed for registration in the description. Only include information from the letter or details you have added yourself.
Full AI analysis can suggest a title, description, date and category from the document. Read these suggestions before accepting them. If the action is unclear, check the original and write the title yourself.
3. Check the deadline against the letter
Compare the suggested date with the original: is 4 December the registration deadline or the day of the course? Are the month and year correct? If the letter gives a time, check that too.
In “Check the task”, you can change incorrect details. If the letter has no deadline, a guessed date is not a reliable addition. Either enter your own planned day to act or leave the date empty. The AI can miss text and confuse dates.
4. Accept and reopen the attachment
“Accept” saves the checked task. Open the task again and open the attachment. This checks that you can find the registration details when you act on the task. An uploaded letter stays an attachment; you do not need a link back to an email app for it.
Which parts use AI
Reading photos and PDFs requires full AI analysis with a subscription, its trial period or an access grant. You also need to allow AI analysis and have quota available. Without a subscription, you can upload and view attachments; short AI analysis does not read their contents. You can enter the action and deadline yourself. See the scope and terms .
We tested this process with the fictional PNG letter “Registration for the first aid course” for Mara Example: register by 4 December, course on 12 December, with no real address or contact. The web app used full AI analysis. This is one product test, not evidence for every kind of letter. It is neither a PDF demo nor a test of the iPhone camera. The test used the German interface; “Übernehmen” is “Accept” in English.
