Leave a Review Evernote Scannable
Good idea not implemented well - back to the scanner
The idea of being able to scan receipts during a trip and then not have to scan them all for reimbursement is a great one and so needed. Unfortunately this application does not make life easier. With some basic upgrades this app could be good but not ready for prime time yet.
The application take the pictures but if you want to scan receipts ever day then you end up with every day being recovered and duplicates every day. The worst part is that our expense system needs pdf files but this application sends png images and it send each image as its own file so I ended up with 10 separate files in the wrong format. In essence it remains easier to just scan them into a common file and then into th correct format.
Plus after sending the files all of the pictures and receipts were gone off the Evernote drive so I could no longer make changes and try again.
I really this application worked but until it does will need to stick to copies and the scanner.Show lessCbrk1009
Needs an update!
I’ve been using scannable for a couple of years now and have had no complaints. I use an iPad Pro and have loved it; the last several months have left me irritated, though. For some reason, now the app is very laggy when I try to edit the scanned picture. Even more frustrating is that when I scan several pages, when i go to edit them, the “thumbnails” are TINY. There is no possible way for me to see the scanned image without clicking on it to edit it, in which it blows up to full size but of the actual document picture, not the automated scanned product, so it defeats the purpose for me. This needs to be fixed ASAP. It’s come to the point that I don’t even want to use this app anymore because those two items are so frustrating, which is a huge let down because I loved this app so much.Show lessBetter than any journal
Love the app! Some suggestions to the developer.
Quality of the scans in PDF form is surprisingly good and the file output size is quite small and text searchable.
Slightly frustrating things I’d love to see the developer improve: If you scan in PDF format and upload to Evernote, it does not give you a chance to name the file. You can’t quickly identify the file in any of the Evernote interfaces because it just shows as as a PDF that needs to be downloaded, not a preview of the PDF.
I’d love it if either or both of these can be changed. I’d like to be able to name my files that I save to Evernote as I scan them. I’d also like me ability to preview the files that are PDF when they are in the Evernote explorer apps (PC, OSX, iOS) without having to click the pdf icon and wait through the download.Show lessVB 123
Changed my life!
I love sharing this app with anyone that will listen! I have saved medical forms, school forms, flyers, schoolwork, kids artwork (excellent for this because it scans just the artwork!), birthday invitations, any form that I may need to easily access, and even yard sale items (it “scans” the item in so that there is no busy background - I do put item against a solid background to help with scanning). It scans in pdf or pictures. Paired with Evernote, this has made putting my hands on “that paper” so much easier! I have used it for everything. My husband and I were closing on a piece of land and the seller needed another signature from his partner and instead of having to wait, I scanned it in quickly from my phone and forwarded for the seller and within minutes, we had the form back and could finish the closing! Love, love, love this app! And I NEVER take the time to write reviews, but again, I share this one with everyone.Show lessTThibs
Very handle, fast, but interface needs work
This is a very handy app to have on your phone too quickly and accurately create a PDF copy of a document. But the user interface needs a little improvement. As soon as you open the app your begin searching everywhere for a document and may grab something before you have a chance to aim it what you really want to copy. As soon is it copies one page it begin searching again. This is annoying when you have a multipage document and need to turn the pages. And also it only saves to Evernote or the camera roll, not to files on the phone or iCloud.Show lessJWalkerNH
LinkedIn integration is a dealbreaker when it comes to business card scans
Great app overall. Easy to use and with a nice, clean interface.
I love the fact that completes and verifies contact info on the business card by contrasting it to the person’s profile on LinkedIn. For me, that’s a killer capability.
My only pet peeve is when I scan a card that has an atypical format. It defaults to save it as an image, it does not identifies it as a business card. Therefore, it does not pull up the contact info. Please set an option to manually mark the scan as a business card so the app saves the info as a contact.Show lessSeanBrown67
Evernote Scannable is a SOLID GREAT App
I no longer need to go my flatbed scanner to create a scan of multi-page documents. I can lay a page on the desk and Scannable on my iPad Pro will find and perfectly crop a high-res picture of the page. Then I turn/hold my iPad “away” so it can’t find the next page until I have set the following page on the desk. When I turn the iPad back towards the desktop the app automatically finds and crops the next page and - auto/snap - I’m rolling along scanning a 15-20 page document in no time. For 10-20 page docs it takes the same or even less time than it takes to use the flatbed over the network. I can then save the document to my camera roll or Evernote. Best of all, this app goes with me wherever my iPad Pro goes. It’s a great app.Show lessReviews I write nickname
Got it for work, but it’s a must for all moms!
Looking for a free app for scanning, I came across Scannable. It’s great for my work needs, but I use it for so many other things. My daughter calls and asks if I can drive a permission slip to school that she forgot. Instead of driving all the way over there, I scan it, email it to a teachers and then text it to my daughter as an extra measure. My sister-in-law needs a picture of my husband for something. I can scan an old picture in a collage and email it to her immediately. Another daughter was going on an international school trip, teacher needed a copy of her passport, instantly it’s there. Not to mention it’s great for work where’re I use it primarily to archive receipts that need to be billed to specific clients. I have immediate access to a scanner! No lost receipts!Show less12.12.MB.123
Scannable
I’ve used several of these types of apps, but I always return to Scannable. The feature which I like the most is the following one. When you scan something like a news article and it is not perfectly flat and square, the program allows you to crop the image by first setting the corners such that you are outlining a non-rectangular shape. You can then move the edges, which are lined up parallel to the text, to remove the extraneous material. You end up with a trapezoid surrounding the image that you want to save. When you click on done, it stretches they selected image into a rectangular shape, an option which none of the other apps I’ve tried will do. It is really pretty slick, and easy to use.Show lessPpaquin

This app compliments my BOX file system like no other . This makes all my files accessible at my fingertips all the time. I took my 19 y.o. son on a cruise who’s last name is different than mine. The port actually ask me to produce something that proves he is my son and that I’m not kidnapping an 18 year old boy , 10 inches taller than me. That would be a birth certificate?!!!. What? Why he is 18?! Well 21 is the cut off in the seaport. No sweat , my diligence in scanning documents and this amazing scannable app. Saved me at the port. The person in the counter was wowed ! With how I uncomplicate what would have been a complicated check in. Thank you Scannable and BOX!Show lessLynn Sann
