Leave a Review Evernote Scannable
Scannable is FANTASTIC
I use this app a million times a day. It has made my and my co-workers lives so much easier. No longer do we need to be worried about fax machines that break or are having trouble with the line. Nor do we need to worry about having a poor copy of an original to try and read and work with. Scannable scan a perfect copy every time, it looks as sharp and clean as the original... and it is sent and received so quickly. I can no longer live without this app. I use it for work, for legal and medical paperwork, and a million other things as well.
Thank you for this great app... l LOVE IT!Show lessLuluSB
Better than a scanner on your desk
This app uses your smart phone to scan documents into your phone, computer, Evernote, email, or other app. It saves as a PDF or image. It is so easy and quick, I prefer it over the scanner on my desk for projects with under 10 pages.
If you use Evernote, the integration with Evernote is seamless. If you don’t use Evernote, you can share any PDF for image with another app on your phone.
(For large scanning projects, where you can put a stack of papers in the scanner and it scans automatically without human involvement, a desk scanner is still better.)Show lessHenry Anderson
Evernote Scannable
Evernote Scannable is a very useful productivity application that makes it simple to scan various types of documents and add it to your Evernote notes. Users can modify their settings to control which notebook scans go to as well as if all notes should automatically be placed in Evernote itself. Scans of documents are of good quality with automatic cropping and adjustments making it easy to tell what was scanned in case you want to reference it later. Scanned documents can also be shared easily with others or sported in multiple formats. The app is even more useful for those with a Scansnap Scanner allowing for captured documents to be scanned. Evernote Scannable is a worthwhile download for those invested in the Evernote family of products.Show lessD. Hill
Goodbye scanners and fax machines
Love this app. Use it a few times a week to "scan" my documents, receipts, book excerpts - whatever I want to keep as a digital file. Then I "share" to my Google Drive to store in the cloud, "share" to iBooks or GoodReader to have on my phone, "share" to CudaSign if I need to sign it first, and/or "send" as an email attachment, and I love that I can do all of the above. It would be nice to be able to select all the options you want to do from one screen, rather than go back and select a new option each time. It does sometimes (rarely) crash, but I have never lost any images. I like that it keeps copies of prior scans in case I need to go back. The cropping is pretty good, especially if you put a dark background behind what you are scanning. I like the "enhance" feature to optimize the printed text, and the ability to toggle easily between the enhanced version and the original. The quick toggle between PDF and image is also great. One minor annoyance is that, for some reason, the app will occasionally show the tutorial even when I haven't updated it and have been using it for months. All in all, a must-have app for me. I used to carry around docs, waiting for a time I was near a scanner or fax. Now, combined with cloud storage, a signing app like CudaSign, and email, it has allowed me to recycle paperwork immediately and free myself from clutter, scanners, and fax machines. Why do companies even use fax machines anymore?Show lessForest White
Essential tool for organizing
I wouldn't say you can't survive without it, but scanning items to digital took much longer and many more work-around steps before this app. It is one of the best companion apps and I constantly rely on it. If you rely on Evernote, you need this app. Every printed item such as receipts, recipes, hand-written post-its that I might need to keep, I use scannable to move it from printed to digital. I can store it as a photo or as a pdf... all without having to waste physical space or phone memory. For scanning receipts and the like, this is my go-to, even when a traditional scanner is available. It's that easy.Show lessKimFH
For Evernote users, simply the best
As an Evernote user, there's no scanning app out there that compares with Scannable in terms of simplicity and accuracy. It's literally point-and-shoot, and it gets scans into Evernote with almost zero friction. The OCR is excellent as well. This app is an indispensable part of my productivity workflow.
If you are not an Evernote user, this would be a four-star app because once you scan, you have to fiddle with some buttons to get the scan to go where you want it. It's set up for Evernote use and getting it to work with anything else requires a few extra steps. That's the only downside I can see, however.Show lessRtalbert
Perfect Evernote Companion
... almost, consider the rating 4-1/2 (will explain at the bottom).
I have been an Evernote fan for a number of years. I benefit so much that for the past 3 years I've been a premium member as well. One challenge to going paperless is the transition between paper to digital image, generally PDF file. This was COMPLETELY resolved with Scannable.
Scannable has rendered my traditional scanner almost obsolete. With a few exceptions (primarily archiving old family photos) I don't use it anymore and completely rely upon my iPhone's camera, Scannable and Evernote to keep my life paper AND clutter free.
This got four and a half instead of five because of the 'connection requirement' (rating it four would have been a disservice and the reason for the connection may have to do with how documents are converted).
I RV a great deal and often find myself in places where there is no cellular or Wi-Fi connections. It would be nice to be able to back up my journals when in these places but Scannable doesn't function unless it has is 'on the grid'.
Bottom Line: I find great value in it.Show lesscCdebaca
Overall better than what is out there.
If you're a die-hard Evernote user, Scannable may be the best option for you...assuming you use an iOS device, that is. Scannable on the iPhone and iPad allows you to instantly scan business cards, sketches, receipts, paper documents, and even multi-page documents with ease, and automatically file and organize the resulting images and files in your Evernote account. Your scans are automatically cropped to remove backgrounds (like the table behind the reciept, for example) and enhanced so the text is readable. If you scan a business card, the contact information from the card is automatically lifted and added to a contact card, so you can call the person, email them, or visit their website or social presence with a single tap. It's relatively new, and while it works best with Evernote, it also allows you to share your resulting scan with other apps on your iOS device, so you can upload it to Dropbox, email it, or save it to your camera roll. Best of all, it's completely and totally free—no unlocks, no premium version, although it definitely works best if you also use Evernote.Show lessFerguncio Reyes
Amazing
After taking my first scan with this app immediately got rid of my big bulky scanner which is such a hassle to place photos or documents inside. The app converts the photos of documents and to clean and slick digital scans as well as crops them which is really nice. I would highly recommend this app for anyone who needs to scan multiple documents. It is a lot faster than placing the documents and a scanner one by one and waiting for the scanner to do it's thing. This app is really fast and does a great job of combining documents together. It is the next best thing to the very expensive multi document scanners in the office. For personal and small business use, this app perfect!Show lessLoMarilyn
If you use Evernote you want this
This app is pretty awesome – a little bit unsettling at first - at least with the default settings - it is basically looking to scan anything in front of the camera as soon as you open the app. But once you get used to it you see why it works like that – it's just very quick. I had been using Turbo Scan, which is a very solid scanning app also, but given how much quicker Scannable is, and the fact that pretty much everything I scan goes into Evernote anyway, I think this will be my default from now on.Show lessMrgranby
