And things like receipts and legal-size documents? Very tricky to accurately scan with a phone. So when you're dealing with multi-page documents, convenience quickly starts to feel like hassle.
They require a steady hand and excellent lighting. Of course, these app-powered scans take up space on your device. Apps like Scannable (a personal favorite) and Microsoft Office Lens make it pretty easy to capture documents for sharing and storage.
I'll be the first to admit that if you have a decent smartphone, you can probably get along just fine without one. And that's a good spot to resume our discussion from the top of the page: do you even need a scanner anymore? With this scanner, you can digitize anything from a business card to a receipt to a legal-size sheet of paper. The scanner connects to computers, phones and tablets over Wi-Fi. Of course, when you're ready to actually view, share and organize your documents, you can skip the usual USB connection. So there's no computer required to operate the scanner or house your scans. The desktop tools will even auto-correct the scans for you once imported.The Doxie Go is a portable, battery-powered sheetfed scanner that can store up to 450 documents internally, and more if you add an SD card. You can convert image formats in the tool, sync with Evernote or Dropbox, share on Facebook, or push the images over to your favourite image editor or other desktop app. If you install the Doxie software on your computer, you get access to a wealth of features, like the ability to “staple” or “stitch” scans together into collections or into a single, large image made up of multiple scans. You can either pop out the SD card and plug it directly into your computer to import, or you can use the included SD-to-USB adaptor to do it. You don’t need a computer to use the Doxie Flip, but you’ll want one when it comes time to import your scans. It’s also good for book pages, napkin notes, cards, coins (and other uneven objects) and anything else you’d like to scan. It’s great for reciepts without having to feed them through a scanner like the Doxie Go, our favourite scanner for going paperless. I used the Flip to scan photos primarily, but I caught myself scanning handwritten notes and ideas I jot down in my notebook more than once.
