Every version of iOS is supposed to surprise us with new features. With the arrival of iOS 11, here comes a new feature in 'Notes' app. Do you know, now you're allowed to directly scan any documents on the desktop or in computer and store them as customizable images in Notes.
Don't Miss Out:
If you have not yet known how to scan documents in Notes so far, let's get down to the tutorial below. In case of potential data loss of scanned documents, I also propose an approach to retrieve and get your lost scanned documents back on iPhone/iPad. Please read on for a further idea.
Idea One: How to Scan Documents in Notes on iPhone/iPad?
iOS 11 makes the 'Notes' app more versatile. When creating a new note, you can "Add Sketch", "Take Photo or Video", "Add Photos from Photo Library", "Draw with Brushes", "Add Contacts", "Add Charts" and "Scan Documents". Of which, "Scan Documents" won the favor of the majority. Now, let's take a look.
Step 1. Launch "Notes" app on iPhone/iPad.
Step 2. Tap on the button on the lower right on the main interface.
Step 3. Tap on the "+" button in the middle and choose "Scan Documents" at the top.
Step 4. Now, aim at the desired item and capture it.
Step 5. Drag the corners to adjust the screen and then tap on "Keep Scan" when done.
Step 6. If you like to go on scanning more, just do it. Or tap on "Save" button to redirect to the Notes screen.
You can see scanned documents on the screen. Furthermore, you're allowed to make touches on the documents. Tap on the scanned documents and you can edit them right now like "Add more documents", "Readjust the documents", "Apply filters", "Rotate the image" or "Delete".
Idea Two: How to Retrieve Lost/Deleted Scanned Documents from iOS Device?
What we noted down must be of importance. So, it comes to be quite a misery what if notes get lost/deleted by accident. How to rescue your scanned documents? If you've backed up iPhone/iPad (opens new window), it's easy for you toperform data recovery (opens new window) from iTunes or iCloud. However, if there is no backup available, please take FonePaw iPhone Data Recovery into consideration.
