![]() The post also includes a helpful blog article you wrote: How I Use Evernote , which I found to be clear, non-promotional, economical, and practical. I did a Google search with the EN forum and found: Cheapest Evernote scanner? where you posted about DocScanner ( #22). After reading many of the EN threads on the subject of scanning to EN. I use an 8 MP Android Samsung Note 2 cell phone. I've read about EN user experiences using the following scanners: ScanSnap, Doxie scanner, Fujitsu, NeatDesk, NeatReceipt, etc. and quick got talked out of defaulting to the above flat bed scanner to do the job. ![]() My goal is to digitize my receipts into EN as many of the saavy EN users have. I just recently purchased a Brother MFC-J6920DW All-In-One printer, replacing an HP OfficeJet Pro 8600 because of HP's below-standard tech support. My main interest is in speed, accuracy, and reliability. I am not especially keen on the wireless stuff, though it is nice to have. However, if you are like me, and you do anywhere from 1 to 1,000 pages a day (I did over 1,000 yesterday, but I generally don't go over that), then you'll want something like the Fujitsu ScanSnap ix500. If you are only doing a few pages a day, maybe a cheaper one would be fine. I agree that you don't want the cheapest scanner, but rather the best one to fit your needs. ![]() When you see what it does you'll realize that a cheap scanner isn't what you want I found a great evernote scanner - that's a great review. You don't want the cheapest - Evernote is great but the cheapest won't let you really use evernote - Two things you needġ- It must be wireless - that you can use it in rooms without a computer (you can access it from you mobile device) - You want to keep it in the room where where the papers are (not necessarily where your computer is) - can be where you open your mail, receipts, your filing cabinet- everywhere - so put it where you need it.Ģ- You need fast and a document feed (not flat) so you can put a whole pile of papers in at once and just have it all scanned quickly The increased efficiency (and reduced frustration) is rapidly paying off the investment! Now I can stack, scan and OCR 30 pages in pretty much the same time. I managed with a flatbed for ages and got very tired of scan (yawn) edit and save. It seems like a lot of cash, but I strongly advocate the Fujitsu 1500 / 1300 if you have to complete anything but very occasional scans. You may need a copying stand to hold larger documents flat - mainly a suitably sized sheet of glass on a flat surfaceĬopying documents may also require even lighting and some checks that you have the camera sensor parallel to the copied surface. Keep the resolution down to avoid large files. Most flexible for documents of all sizes, 3D objects etc. > Camera: needs clear flat working space and light Books will survive a scan if you turn pages by hand between scans.įor bigger documents scan in sections and join images together. Will copy books and bound documents if they are unbound first - so pretty much a one-time process for the book. (The Fujitsu S1500 can also handle low-volume A3 scans.) Great for volume processing of A4 and smaller paper. My general take on input methods would be: Also 8MP generates humungously large files so I set the camera to 640x480 which seems to OCR normally and display fine on both mobile and desktop versions. I use the macro setting on mine for small items like receipts and tickets. It may be an 8 megapixel job with a bunch of Apple tweaks includedĪctually the most important factor for your camera will be how closely it can focus.
