Scan to Schedule

MySched reads printed text from your registration card using OCR (optical character recognition) and organizes it into a structured schedule.

Capture

Two options: take a photo with your camera, or pick an existing image from your gallery. The gallery option is useful if someone sent you a photo of your card.

After capturing, you can crop the image to isolate just the schedule area. This helps the scanner ignore headers, borders, and other noise on the card.

What the scanner looks for

Class codes, time slots, day abbreviations, room numbers, instructor names, and section codes. It matches these patterns against known formats and builds your weekly schedule from them.

Review screen

Before anything is saved, you see every detected class with its day, time, room, instructor, and section. This is where you catch mistakes.

Tap any field to edit it. Delete rows the scanner misread. Add classes it missed.

Getting a good scan

Lay the card flat on a surface. Make sure there's enough light — natural is best. Keep the full card in frame and avoid glare from overhead lights. Hold steady while the camera focuses. Crop tightly around the schedule section.

Manual entry alternatives

If the scanner can't read your card (faded print, unusual layout), you have two fallbacks:

Section code entry — type your section code and MySched looks up the standard schedule for that section.

Add classes by hand — enter class name, day, time, room, and instructor individually from the schedule screen.

Rescanning

Got a new card after a schedule change? Scan again. The new scan replaces your current schedule, and any existing reminders update to match the new times automatically.

When it doesn't work

If the scan fails, MySched tells you why: blurry image, poor lighting, card not fully visible, or unrecognized layout. Retry with better conditions, or fall back to manual entry.
