cameras and smartphones for efficient mobile scanning. Scanning photos and
documents with your phone is a mixed bag, but thankfully there are some ways
through which you can scan the items and get excellent results. A dedicated
scanner is fantastic to have if you have to scan a large handful of the
documents. But for scanning a couple of documents, you can readily use your
mobile.

Scannable by Evernote is for iOS users only. But needless to
worry, Microsoft Office Lens is highly recommended for Android users. Scannable
is a top choice if you are already a user of Evernote. Try to consider Office
lens if you have saved your document in OneNote. You can also checkout

both the platforms. It relies on Adobe’s own cloud service for storage.

With the help of Scannable, you just put your document so that
it fits within the viewfinder. The app will auto capture it, straighten,
sharpen and improve quality of the image. Along with a receipt, it eliminated
fold marks from the scan and evened out the career that are entirely of
different contrast. You will really like how it does make short work of various
documents. Once you capture this page, it’s immediately ready for next one.
As you are done with the scan, just click checkmark icon for
reviewing each page in the side-scrolling tray. Scannable makes the whole of
the scanning process really easy. It auto upload to Evernote once you are done.
You also have the option to share a scan through email or usual iOS share
