This last sends you to iCloud Drive by default, but you can also add Dropbox and/or Google Drive by tapping the Locations button.Īlternately, if you choose the Meeting option, you can attach your scan(s) to any appointment that's on your calendar. Next, you tap the blue Share icon to see your various options, which include Mail, Message, Evernote (natch), Camera Roll and Export (to cloud storage). Don't like how one turned out? Just drag it up and out of the tray to delete it. When you're done with your scan, just tap the check mark icon to review each page in a side-scrolling tray. Short of carrying around a sheet-fed scanner, this is perhaps the fastest way I've found to scan a stack of pages. After you capture the first page, it's almost immediately ready for the next one. I especially like how it makes short work of multipage documents.

As for lengthy receipts, I expected it to need to capture in sections, which is a hassle - but it did a masterful job when I pulled back to capture the entire thing at once. With a folded invoice, for example, it virtually eliminated the fold marks from the scan and evened out areas of different contrast. In my tests with an iPhone 6 Plus, Scannable did an impressive job with a variety of items. With Scannable, you simply position your document so it fits within the viewfinder (i.e., your iPhone's screen) - the app will quickly and automatically capture it, then straighten, sharpen and otherwise improve the quality of the image. That's in contrast to Evernote proper, which requires you to create a new 'camera' note, then choose the type of document (photo, business card and so on). Wait, doesn't the existing Evernote app offer scanning capabilities already? After a fashion, yes - but Scannable is far more robust when it comes to capturing, correcting and sharing documents.įor starters, the moment you run the app, it's ready to start scanning. Why rely on a bulky, expensive, deskbound piece of hardware when you can 'scan' items just as easily with your smartphone? That's the idea behind Evernote's new Scannable for iOS, a free app that joins a plethora of similar tools - but offers a few distinct advantages. Evernote Scannable can work with a ScanSnap scanner, but it's pretty awesome on its own, too.
