All those who are working away from the office and lack a scanner to scan any document, usually have to ask for help from third parties, or have to download an application to perform this action.

But, before this is done, it should be known that Apple has worked to integrate this option into your iPhone long ago, Telegrafi reports.

With iOS 11 launched in 2017, Apple has also integrated the scanner, which can be found in Notes, while it is very useful nowadays when most are working away from the office as a result of the pandemic.

For those who didn’t know they had the scanning app on their iPhone, some tips are given, showing where it is and how it can be used.

Go to your iPhone’s Notes app and open a page, or click the little icon on the outside of the bottom.

Click on the camera icon when it appears in the menu and then select “Scan Documents” while holding the phone until it scans the entire document.

Be careful, if the scanner is in the automatic system, then it completes the process itself, while if it is in the manual format, then you need to take care to complete the scan yourself.

If you have to do it manually, then make sure that you have inserted all the corners of the document so that none are left unscanned.

Continue scanning if you have more pages, while selecting “Retake” if you want to erase everything and do a new scan from the beginning.

Press “Save” when everything is finished and you will have a PDF document, as if it was scanned in the office.

• The Google Drive app’s built-in scanner is getting upgraded with auto enhancement for higher-quality scans.
• This new functionality includes white balance correction, shadow removal, and contrast enrichment, among other automatic editing tools.
• The changes will be rolled out to all Drive users on Android and iOS starting early next year.

The Google Drive app is a powerful cloud storage solution with the ability to do a lot more than just store your files and documents online. It also serves as an excellent document scanner, with the built-in functionality only getting better with each update. Google has now announced a significant upgrade to the Drive app’s built-in scanner, bringing much-needed improvements to the scanning quality.

In its weekly recap of the Workspace feature additions, Google said Drive will now leverage “auto enhancement” to turn standard paper-based documents “into higher quality images” at a faster pace.

This newly added functionality will manage aspects like white balance correction, shadow removal, contrast enrichment, auto sharpening, and light improvement, among other things, Google said. The company’s phrasing suggests these adjustments will vary based on the type of document going under the scanner.

Get rid of shadows from your scans

Screenshots shared by Google show how the auto enhancement function will work with smaller items, such as a takeaway order receipt. There’s some light and shadows on this receipt, as you can see in the first image above, but with the assistance of auto enhancement, the result looks much sharper.

This feature will undoubtedly take the pain out of document scanning, particularly in tricky lighting conditions. Google says it will gradually roll out these scanning improvements starting early next year to all Drive users through the Android and iOS apps, regardless of the Workspace tier they’re on. This means even people with personal Google accounts should find it on the app over the next few weeks.

Google has routinely made key changes to improve the scanning functionality in the Drive app. Just over a year ago, the app introduced a handy new Auto-capture toggle in the scanner to eliminate the need to align the camera with the document. The upcoming upgrade is easily the most critical feature addition to Drive’s built-in scanner since then. Meanwhile, in August, Google Drive started letting users save scanned items as JPEGs, with the app only supporting scans in the PDF format until that point.

Brother’s DSmobile DS-940DW ($179.99) is a manual-feed portable document scanner designed for low-volume, one- and two-sided scan tasks on the road. Similar to our current top pick, Epson’s DS-80W Wireless Portable Document Scanner, the DS-940DW is accurate; comes with a comprehensive software bundle, a battery, and wireless connectivity; and goes the DS-80W one better by allowing you to scan to microSD flash memory cards. (In other words, when scanning to microSD, you don’t need to lug along a laptop—the scanner is self-contained.) All this taken together, the DSmobile DS-940DW cops an Editors’ Choice for single-sheet portable document scanners.

Small, Light, and Wireless

Before diving into a description of the DS-940DW, let’s look at an important distinction between two types of portable scanners: single-sheet or manual-feed models that accept just one page at a time (and must therefore be fed by hand), and sheet-fed travel scanners with automatic document feeders (ADFs) that hold multiple pages, such as the Editors’ Choice Epson WorkForce ES-300W Portable Wireless Duplex Document Scanner.

The capacity of the ADF varies by product; the ES-300W and several similar sheet-fed portables come with 20-sheet feeders. Obviously, the ES-300W and its ilk are better equipped to handle multipage scan jobs, whereas the DS-940DW and its competitors are designed for shorter, one- or two-page documents. The advantages of manual-feed devices are that they typically cost less and are significantly smaller and lighter.

With that in mind, let’s talk about the Brother scanner. It measures 1.8 by 12.6 by 2.5 inches and weighs about 1.5 pounds (or about half the ES-300W’s weight). Interestingly, though, the Epson DS-80W is a little shorter, about 2 inches narrower, and lighter still. (It weighs half as much as the DS-940DW.) However, aside from the Brother’s slot for a microSD card, the two devices are configured nearly identically. Both come with built-in rechargable batteries, and both support Wi-Fi and USB connectivity (though the DSmobile comes with a much faster USB 3.0 port and cable).

Even lighter is the Epson DS-70, which is essentially the DS-80W sans the battery and Wi-Fi. IRIScan’s Anywhere 5 Wi-Fi is also a little smaller and leaner than the DS-940DW, and it, too, comes with a battery and microSD support. Another PCMag favorite with a rechargable battery, the Xerox Duplex Travel Scanner, also takes up a little less backpack space than the Brother tested here, though it lacks wireless networking.

Wireless support and an internal power source, of course, allow the scanner to operate with no cords or cables, which is convenient, but the DS-940DW’s and Anywhere 5’s flash card support (a 4GB card is included with the latter) lets you scan autonomously, without being connected to a laptop, desktop, or handheld device. When you return to your home or office, you simply transfer your scans to your computer—a lot less to carry and fuss with.

You can operate the DS-940DW from your laptop or mobile device via the bundled software (which I’ll get to in a second) or from the control panel, which consists of three toggle buttons and corresponding status indicators. The three toggles are: color or monochrome scanning, saving to PDF or JPG file formats, and one-sided or two-sided scanning. There are also power and start/stop (Scan/Cancel) buttons, and on the right side of the chassis, just beneath the control panel, you’ll find a slider for selecting USB, Wi-Fi, or microSD operation and a Wi-Fi Protected Setup (WPS) button for connecting to a wireless network without entering credentials.

As I said earlier, the microSD slot is located beneath the input slot, and the USB cable plugs into the left end of the chassis.

When working in tight spaces, lifting a tray on the back of the scanner reduces its footprint by redirecting the output flow upward, a feature Brother calls a U-Path Paper Feeding System.

The maximum optical resolution is 600 dpi, with an interpolated 1,200dpi. The minimum document size is 2 by 3.4 inches and the maximum size is 8.5 by 72 inches, with the smallest and largest supported plastic card sizes being 2.05 and 3.4 inches square, respectively. Brother rates the device’s maximum daily duty cycle at 100 scans.

Convenience and Productivity Software

A document scanner is worthless without software, and nowadays most manufacturers ship well-developed, feature-rich scanner interfaces for operating the hardware, optical character recognition (OCR) apps for converting scanned pages to editable text, and PDF creation and editing programs. Some companies, including Brother, also throw in fairly robust document management and archiving solutions.

With the DS-940DW you get Brother’s iPrint&Scan (available for Windows, macOS, iOS, and Android) for interfacing with the scanner; BR-Receipts for scanning and storing financial data; Kofax Power PDF Standard for creating and editing PDFs; Nuance PaperPort SE 14 for document management; and Presto! BizCard for scanning and archiving business cards.

Between them, these apps should provide everything you need to scan, save, convert, and manage your scans. Many of them, in fact, have overlapping functions; you may find yourself trying to decide which programs will serve your needs best—a quality problem.

How Fast Can You Feed It?

Timing how fast a manual-feed scanner and its software process one-sided pages per minute (ppm) or two-sided images per minute (ipm, where each page side is an image) is hardly an empirical endeavor. Since every sheet is fed to the scanner by hand, much depends on the user and how diligently he or she readies and feeds the next sheet, then the next, and so on.

Brother rates the DS-940DW at 16ppm for both one-sided (simplex) and two-sided (duplex) scans, though a more accurate rating for the latter would be 32 images per minute (ipm). If you stay on top of the manual feed process, that sounds about right. I tested the scanner over a USB connection from our standard Intel Core i5 testbed PC running Windows 10 Pro. The best the DS-940DW, its software, and I could manage when scanning and saving our two 25-page text documents (a simplex document consisting of 25 pages and a duplex sample containing 50 page sides) to image PDF was 13.5ppm and 27ipm. But then, I’m easily distracted.

Keeping in mind that the DS-940DW and competing single-sheet portables aren’t designed to scan long documents like our test files, these scores aren’t bad. The scanner and its software managed almost 30 seconds per page side while scanning, converting, and saving our duplex document. Epson’s DS-80W managed 11.6ppm and 23.3ipm when scanning and processing the same text pages, and its DS-70 sibling did the same work at 8.2ppm and 18.7ipm.

The Xerox Duplex Travel Scanner and IRIScan Anywhere 5 Wi-Fi both yielded around half these speeds on one-sided pages, but the Anywhere 5 doesn’t support automatic two-sided scanning, requiring that duplex pages be scanned twice.

With desktop scanners, saving a scan job to the more useful searchable PDF format required for document management and other applications takes a bit longer than saving to image PDF. My experience with most manual-feed portable scanners is that they don’t scan fast enough to overload the processing software, so there isn’t a significant difference between the time required to save a scan job to image PDF or searchable PDF.

While we don’t record searchable PDF scanning and saving speeds for single-sheet portables, I can say that the DS-940DW’s performance in the searchable PDF file tests I ran was similar to its image PDF throughput.

OCR Accuracy and Business Card Scanning Tests

While the other portable scanners mentioned here converted pages to editable text as well as many larger and much costlier desktop document scanners, the DS-940DW’s OCR accuracy is among the best I’ve seen. It scanned both our Arial and Times New Roman font test pages without errors down to 5-point font sizes. The Epson DS-80W, at 6 points without mistakes on both test pages, performed almost as well, as did the DS-70. The Xerox Travel Scanner was accurate down to 5 points with Arial and 6 points with Times New Roman, and the IRIScan Anywhere 5 WiFi managed 8 points for both tests.

For most applications—business, home, church, the kids’ soccer league, or whatever—the above accuracy scores are more than sufficient. Few documents, even legal documents such as loan and real estate contracts, contain type 8 points or smaller.

I also scanned several business cards into BizCard, with, as I’ve stated in other reviews, predictable results. The DS-940DW handled the cards nimbly enough, and the BizCard software converted the digitized text to editable text and populated its database fields with acceptable accuracy. As with all the business card software I’ve tested, however, accuracy depends mostly on card design. Plain white cards with common fonts required far less after-scan error correction than swankier cards with elaborate design features such as colored backgrounds or text superimposed over logos. The amount of retyping and the viability of scanning business cards depends primarily on the cards you scan.

Easy, Fast, and Standalone Scanning

There are so many single-sheet portable scanners available, and for the most part they’re so similar, that I went into this review with ho-hum expectations. But the DS-940DW has essentially raised the bar in a few key areas, including speed and accuracy. The software bundle is complete, and while not unique, the ability to scan to a microSD card makes carrying the scanner with you and scanning on the road less cumbersome and less complicated. Add it all up, and the Brother DSmobile DS-940DW advances manual-feed portable scanner technology enough to earn an Editors’ Choice.

IT Pro Verdict

Pros

• +Excellent image quality
• +Speedy scan performance
• +Tons of OCR features

Cons

• –No cloud support

Fujitsu’s SP series has long been a great choice for USB scanning – and now the SP-1130N ups the ante. It’s one of three new network-enabled models, along with the 1120N and 1125N, that offer the same speeds as their deskbound counterparts but add a Gigabit Ethernet port, giving you the freedom to locate the scanner where you want and drive it from any computer on the network.

Software-wise, all three stick with Fujitsu’s PaperStream IP software suite – and we’ve no complaints about that, as it offers a wealth of image-processing and scan-management features. Batch scanning in particular is made easy: you can create jobs that scan and process multi-page documents with a single click, and use barcode recognition or OCR zones for document separation or data extraction.

The SP-1130N on review is the fastest of the new models, citing a scan speed of 30ppm for both mono and colour scans at 300dpi. A claimed 4,500-page daily duty cycle shows it’s ready for high demand, and the automatic document feeder (ADF) has room for 50 pages, with a built-in ultrasonic sensor to detect paper jams and multi-feeds.

A single utility handles Windows host installation, offering the choice of USB or network port connections and loading the various PaperStream components. These include not only Fujitsu’s own software, but a custom version of ABBYY FineReader OCR, which adds options to export scans in a variety of Office document formats, or as searchable PDFs.

PLAY SOUND

Also included is ABBYY FineReader 12 Sprint, which provides a simpler alternative to PaperStream Capture for quick scans, along with a system tray tool that lets you assign a defined action to the scanner’s start button. The package is rounded out by a network setup tool, and an agent that links up with Fujitsu’s free Scanner Central Admin web service for scanner fleet management.

This may all sound like a lot to take in, but setting up a scan profile is a simple wizard-driven process. You start by choosing colour, greyscale or mono output, then pick a resolution from 150 to 600dpi, specify a paper size and select single or double-sided scanning. Next, you set your scan destination, which might be a local folder, a network location, an FTP or SharePoint server, a printer or an email address. The one place you can’t scan to is cloud storage as Fujitsu’s ScanSnap Cloud app is only available with its iX series of scanners.

Document separation for large batch scans can be enabled too, using blank pages, page counts, predefined OCR zones, barcodes or Fujitsu’s patch codes. You can also tell the software to extract data from scanned documents by dragging a box around the area where you want zonal OCR to be applied; the information within can then be exported as a TXT, CSV or XML file.

Finally, it’s time to select any processing options you want applied, such as page rotation, image adjustment and clean up, deskewing, hole filling and blank page removal.

Once we’d got our profiles set up, we were pleased to find that performance fully lived up to Fujitsu’s promises. Our well-thumbed wad of 30 bank statements was scanned on both sides in 55 seconds, in greyscale and colour and at 200dpi and 300dpi. Factor in the five-second wait for each network scan to start and you’re looking at 30ppm precisely. As usual, switching to 600dpi causes speeds to tumble �� in this case to just over 8ppm – but you’ll very rarely need to use such a high resolution because output quality at 200pdi is absolutely fine for document archival purposes. OCR performance is similarly good, with text as small as 6pt on our test bank statements being captured accurately.

Nor did we hit any problems with paper handling. Our till receipts and thin waybills passed through the scanner without any jams, and on the rare occasion when two pages were picked up at once, the multi-feed detector immediately spotted the problem and stopped the scan before any pages were damaged.

If cloud features are important to you then you may need to look elsewhere, but Fujitsu’s SP-1130N delivers good performance and great output quality at a very reasonable price. Factor in the highly capable PaperStream IP software and this desktop scanner is a top contender for SMBs that are looking to soup up their scanning provision.

If you have some official documents to sign, scan and send but don’t have a proper scanner ready, don’t worry — just follow these steps.

However easy it is to digitally sign important documents, sometimes that won’t suffice. When you just have to put your signature on a physical document and digitally upload it, and you don’t have a standalone scanner handy, the easiest way to do it is in your pocket — your iPhone.

Yes, your iPhone doubles as a document scanner. It may not produce images as sharp as a dedicated scanner would, but it does a respectable job, even when the phone is positioned at odd angles trying to capture text. iPhones have had this hidden feature since iOS 11 launched in 2017, but as the cameras built into Apple phones have improved, so has their ability to take decent scans of documents. 

You won’t need to download additional software or pay for a third-party app — Apple’s Notes app that comes preinstalled on iPhones does the trick. The good news is that it’s quick and easy to scan a document, save it, and send it wherever it needs to go. Keep in mind that the new iOS 18 changes the icons you use to select document scanning, which we’ve noted below. If you’ve upgraded to iOS 18, the process will be different, but we’ll walk you through it. 

Here’s how to scan a document with your iPhone.

Scan a document with your iPhone or iPad

To scan a document with your iPhone or iPad, first place the document on a flat surface in a well-lit area. 

Open up the Notes app and either open an existing note or start a new one by tapping the New Note button in the bottom right corner (pencil-in-square icon). On iOS 17 versions and older, tap the Camera button at the bottom of the screen (or if you’re editing a note, the same Camera icon will be above the keyboard) and tap Scan Documents. If you’re on iOS 18, instead of a Camera icon, you’ll tap the Attachments button (the paperclip icon) and likewise tap Scan Documents.

This will open a version of the Camera app that just looks for documents. Once you position your iPhone over the document that needs scanning and in view of the camera, a yellow rectangular layer will automatically appear over the document showing approximately what will be captured. Hover over the document for a few seconds and the iPhone should automatically capture and scan the document, but you can also tap the Shutter button in the bottom center.  

Sign, share or save your scanned document

Once you’ve captured a document, you can tap it, and others you’ve captured in the same session, to edit them before saving them. You can also tap Retake in the top right corner to start again.

When you edit the document, you can re-crop it from the original photo captured (if you need to tweak its edges), switch between color filters (color, black and white, grayscale or the unedited original photo). Then you can save the scanned document.

Once it’s saved into a note, you can tap the Markup button (circled pen icon) at the bottom to sketch or scribble with different colors. If you tap the Add button on the bottom right (plus sign icon), you can add text, your signature, shapes or even stickers. 

To send or locally save the document, tap Share button at the top (the square-and-arrow icon) to send it via Messages or apps, copy it, save it locally to the Files app, print it out via linked printer or other options.

Why can’t I find the camera button to scan documents?

If you’re running iOS 18, the Camera button has been replaced with an Attachments button (paperclip symbol). It should function just the same: Tap it and choose Scan Documents from the dropdown menu

If you can’t see the Camera or the Attachments button, check to see if you’ve opened the note in either the iCloud section or the On My iPhone section — you’ll only be able to scan documents and save them in either of these places. If you can’t tell, tap Folders in the top left corner of the Notes screen and select either iCloud or On My iPhone. 

The documents scanner is just one of many unnoticed iPhone features that come prepackaged in Apple’s handsets, often nested in the apps that come with your phone. Some hidden iOS 18 features add even more surprising capabilities already on your iPhone. But you can also find ways to do other tasks, like making a GIF on your iPhone, using third-party apps and through your browser.

What you need to know

• Google is discontinuing Stack: PDF Scanner later this year, with the app ceasing to function on September 23.
• The app’s features, like automatic edge detection and document capture, have been integrated into Google Drive, making Stack redundant.
• Stack users can easily transfer their documents to Google Drive via an “Export all documents to Drive” option in Stack’s account settings.

To streamline its document management tools, Google is discontinuing “Stack: PDF Scanner” later this year, phasing out the app known for its scanning and organization features.

In a community post, a Google spokesperson confirmed that Stack: PDF Scanner has been permanently discontinued. The app will stop functioning entirely on September 23, and its listing has already been removed from the Google Play Store. This marks the definitive end of the document scanning app.

The rationale for shuttering the app seems logical. It was developed by Google’s internal Area 120 incubator, which no longer exists. Stack stood out for its user-friendly design. The app featured automatic edge detection and document capture, making scanning super easy with minimal effort. It also had a handy automated document categorization system. However, Google insists that these features are now integrated into Google Drive, making Stack unnecessary.

In November, the Drive app received a dedicated “Scan” function, as noted by 9to5Google. This new feature includes a custom viewfinder for better document alignment and more intuitive controls for a seamless scanning process.

The “Auto capture” mode automatically takes a picture when the document is optimally positioned, removing the need for manual clicks. There’s also a manual capture mode if you want to do things your way.

Using machine learning, Google Drive suggests relevant titles for scanned documents. For instance, when scanning a receipt, Drive might automatically add the store location and date.

The latest change marks a significant step in consolidating document management within Drive. Users can now rely on this all-in-one platform for scanning and organizing their important documents.

Image 2 of 2

This strategic move aligns with Google’s broader goal of streamlining its services.

To make things easier for Stack users, Google has set up a simple way to move everything over to Drive. If you’re used to using Stack, you can find an “Export all documents to Drive” option in the app’s account settings. This makes it a breeze to transfer all your documents to a specific folder in Drive, so the switch is smooth and hassle-free.
