The ScanSnap produced scans that were overall clear and readable, though in some instances, I noticed unwanted lines on photos and blurry-looking text in documents. That resolution is on par with competing ADF scanners. That means it uses the highest resolution available for each scan 300dpi for color and up to 600dpi for black and white. It only takes about 10 to 15 seconds for it to scan a document, process it, and have it show up in Evernote.Įvernote helped design the ScanSnap's software so that it automatically adjusts its settings to produce the best finished result based on what kind of content you're scanning. Evernote says it can scan 25 pages per minute and, in my tests it hit that time frame. The ScanSnap is remarkably quiet and fast. This only works with Evernote on a Mac, but support for Windows is coming soon. You can connect your LinkedIn account to Evernote during the ScanSnap setup process and whenever you scan a business card, the service will pull in that person's LinkedIn profile information, which gets saved along with the scanned images of the card. I hope Evernote resolves the issue, because its scan features have (mostly) worked well for me in Scannable, and I much prefer Evernote to Microsoft’s OneNote.Business cards also get something extra. Of the two apps, Office Lens is more reliable as an iPhone scanner by far it didn’t crash once during my tests, and it’s a new app. Users of Evernote’s free service can scan five business card scans for free, however.)

(Note: This feature is only available to Premium Evernote users, and that service costs $5 a month. When you scan a business card, the app pulls additional information about that person from his or her LinkedIn profile, as long as your LinkedIn and Evernote accounts are connected. The camera function also apparently caused many Evernote crashes in the past, according to comments on a 2014 post in an Evernote forum.Įvernote is supposed to have a cool business-card scan feature, but I was unable to test it. Scannable crashes often on my iPhone, as well, though only when I try to scan multiple pages of a document. Unfortunately, the Evernote app crashed every time I attempted to use the scan features on my iPhone 6 Plus.
