Scan using Apple Notes

9/8/2020

I get a lot of "calls" asking to install or how to use our scanners.  Scans are great to take a paper document to turn it in to a .pdf and post on your Canvas page.  But did you know you might have one of the best scanners already in your hand? 
Your iPhone!  Using Notes and be sure you are logged in to Notes with your Apple ID.  Watch the video to learn how.
  • Open Notes
  • Create a new note
  • Click the Camera button
  • Select Scan Document
  • Scan the document "paper" click the record or take picture button
  • Save it
  • Upload (Share to) to your Google Drive.
    YOU MUST already be logged in to your Google Drive app on your phone.
  • I created a folder called Scans.
  • Go to your Google Drive on a computer.  Find the scans folder and share it just as you would  a normal document to link or embed on your Canvas page.
Much easier than using your PC or copier.
Why NOT  a picture? Compare them yourself!
Below are non-edited Scan vs a Picture of the same document taken the same way.
  • A "Scan" looks for the image to "scan"
  • It saves as .pdf
  • Here is a Picture
  • Here is Scan

Of course there are other options! But this one is probably the easiest that most already have installed. If you have an android phone... Just use Google Dr. Click the + button and select Scan. #UseWhatYouHave
