Currently, Apple has transformed Notes from a simple app into a feature-rich and convenient tool. Your Notes are stored on iCloud for easy editing across all devices. Moreover, the Scan feature has been newly integrated to assist you in scanning documents and adding them to your notes.
Scanning Documents with Notes App
Step 1: Open the Notes app on your iPhone or iPad.
Tap on the Notes icon at the bottom right corner to create a new note. While composing the note, to scan a document, tap on the plus icon.
Step 2: Select the camera icon in the toolbar >> Scan Document.
Step 3: When the camera opens, position the screen over the document. Once your document page is recognized, the device will automatically capture it. You can disable this feature by tapping Auto at the top right corner. Then you can manually capture using the Capture button or the volume button.
Step 4: You can capture multiple pages continuously by simply flipping the document and capturing; the images will be automatically saved to the temporary library. When you've captured enough, tap on the thumbnail at the bottom left corner to review the images.
At this screen, you can perform basic editing steps such as rotate, flip, crop, and add color filters.
Once satisfied, press Done.
Step 5: Return to the camera screen, then select Save.
You'll see the document added to the Notes page under a heading (taken from the first line of the document). You can tap the heading to rename it to anything you like.
Additionally, you can open a document and tap Share at the top right corner to share it with others. From here, there are also other features like marking, printing, copying, and saving documents to Files.
Scan documents using the Evernote Scannable app
In addition to the Notes app, you can also use a third-party app to scan documents, such as Evernote Scannable.
Step 1: Go to the App Store and download Evernote Scannable.
Step 2: Upon opening the app, you'll be asked if you want to connect to Evernote. If you haven't created an Evernote account, select Not Now.
Step 3: When brought to the camera, do the same as above, simply place the document in front of the lens, and the app will automatically take the picture. If you prefer not to take the picture manually, select the three-dot icon and set it to manual capture.
Step 4: Once you've taken the photo, open it and tap on the Customize icon to rotate or crop the image as desired.
Step 5: When you're done, select Save >> Scroll Camera.
And those are the two methods for scanning documents on iOS to obtain clear images, serving your work effectively. Wishing you success!
