Google Wallet is getting a new feature that will let you scan and store digital copies of text-only documents and passes. Google first showcased the feature at I/O this year and, while it’s yet to roll out, we’ve managed to enable it manually to give you an early look.

The upcoming “Everything else” option in the Google Wallet’s Add to wallet menu will initially ask you for permission to allow Google to process your data, even though it clarifies that all processing is done locally and no data is sent to Google’s servers.
