You can only upload one image at a time. Glide doesn’t provide any tool for annotating images, but most phone cameras provide that functionality.

Really appreciate the proposed possibilities.

Thank you so much ❤

Two more questions please (since the experts are here:

1. Can i upload a PDF file and view it inside the app or via the browser?
2. Can i integrate that functionality with OCR via a third party API?

Sorry for that many questions.

Yes.

In general, yes. Although you might find you need to use an external integration tool such as Integromat (Make), Zapier, or Apps Script. I’ve managed to integrate with the [Google Cloud Vision API](https://cloud.google.com/vision) in the past to do OCR.
