Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET
1. Unfortunately, this feature doesn’t do OCR, so the scanned document is an image; 2. THe Markup as PDF doesn’t work with VoiceOver, so it’s not possible to fill-out/sign docs.

Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET
If this was made accessible, just think of the possibilities! No more begging sighted folks for help signing legal documents. Also, iOS 11 will not support 32 bit apps. If this is something you care about, don't upgrade until the developer updates the app. On 7/11/2017 8:52 AM, 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone wrote: > True Richard, > but think of this, we are not the only ones to find digitising text useful. > so, I suspect, even if it doesn't come out with this iOS, it may follow in > fairly rapid succession! also, and perhaps I am misunderstanding this, think > of the size of the screen of your phone: The image of, say, an A4 or foolscap > piece of paper, would be quite small. people would find it very difficult to > write a signature in the appropriate space on such a small image. > nevertheless, mention of the ability to add a signature is there. so, there > must be a way to transpose a signature from the screen which can be placed at > the right size and in the right place onto the image. > > sent from the dark side of the moon > >> On 11 Jul 2017, at 13:43, Richard Turner <richardturne...@outlook.com> wrote: >> >> >> I would not get too excited about this feature until we hear if this will be >> at all VoiceOver accessible. >> There is no mention of OCR at this point, just capturing images. >> Richard >> >> >>> On Jul 11, 2017, at 4:14 AM, Mike Ulrich <mulr...@centurylink.net> wrote: >>> >>> Now that does sound pretty cool! >>> Here's hopeing 11.0 will indeed do that! >>> >>> -Original Message- >>> From: 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] >>> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 6:36 AM >>> To: viphone@googlegroups.com >>> Subject: Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET >>> >>> it's very loose thinking at this point, but let's say I have a document >>> that I need to sign: perhaps, it will be possible to write your signature >>> with your finger on your phone screen and have it placed in the document. >>> placed in the correct position, that is. then I could either print it out >>> and submit it or send it electronically. conversely, perhaps we will be >>> able to import into the Notes app from, say, an email attachment, and be >>> able to sign it just by writing on the screen. >>> >>> I have experienced being on my own and needing to get a document signed >>> quickly and have had, unfortunately, to search around my friends to find >>> someone who had time to come over and help me sign it.

Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET
True Richard, but think of this, we are not the only ones to find digitising text useful. so, I suspect, even if it doesn't come out with this iOS, it may follow in fairly rapid succession! also, and perhaps I am misunderstanding this, think of the size of the screen of your phone: The image of, say, an A4 or foolscap piece of paper, would be quite small. people would find it very difficult to write a signature in the appropriate space on such a small image. nevertheless, mention of the ability to add a signature is there. so, there must be a way to transpose a signature from the screen which can be placed at the right size and in the right place onto the image. sent from the dark side of the moon > On 11 Jul 2017, at 13:43, Richard Turner <richardturne...@outlook.com> wrote: > > > I would not get too excited about this feature until we hear if this will be > at all VoiceOver accessible. > There is no mention of OCR at this point, just capturing images. > Richard > > >> On Jul 11, 2017, at 4:14 AM, Mike Ulrich <mulr...@centurylink.net> wrote: >> >> Now that does sound pretty cool! >> Here's hopeing 11.0 will indeed do that! >> >> -Original Message- >> From: 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] >> Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 6:36 AM >> To: viphone@googlegroups.com >> Subject: Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET >> >> it's very loose thinking at this point, but let's say I have a document that >> I need to sign: perhaps, it will be possible to write your signature with >> your finger on your phone screen and have it placed in the document. placed >> in the correct position, that is. then I could either print it out and >> submit it or send it electronically. conversely, perhaps we will be able to >> import into the Notes app from, say, an email attachment, and be able to >> sign it just by writing on the screen. >> >> I have experienced being on my own and needing to get a document signed >> quickly and have had, unfortunately, to search around my friends to find >> someone who had time to come over and help me sign it.

I would not get too excited about this feature until we hear if this will be at all VoiceOver accessible. There is no mention of OCR at this point, just capturing images.

it's very loose thinking at this point, but let's say I have a document that I need to sign: perhaps, it will be possible to write your signature with your finger on your phone screen and have it placed in the document. placed in the correct position, that is. then I could either print it out and submit it or send it electronically. conversely, perhaps we will be able to import into the Notes app from, say, an email attachment, and be able to sign it just by writing on the screen.

RE: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET
I think I see where you're going with this, but could you elaborate a bit? Signature; as in using for what?

How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET
CNET News - Monday, July 10, 2017 at 9:48 AM How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET Apple has a habit of building features into iOS that eliminate the need to install third-party apps for some users. For instance, with the release of iOS 11, Apple is adding a document scanner, along with the ability sign, share and save a scanned doc to your device. Instead of launching the feature in a standalone app, Apple built it into the Notes app. Here's what you need to know: Scan a document Place the document(s) on a flat surface, in a well-lit area. Open the Notes app, create a new note (or add the scans to a related Note, if you want). Tap the "+" symbol at the bottom of the screen then select Scan Document. A camera-like screen will show up, with a yellow box scanning and looking for a document. It's best if you try to hold your iOS device directly above the document, but it's not necessary. Apple designed its document scanner to work from various angles. Once the app recognizes a document it will automatically capture a scan - you don't have to do anything other than wait. However, there is a button to manually capture an image if it's struggling to find the document. A small thumbnail of each page will be shown in the bottom-left corner, and the scanner will remain open to continue scanning multiple pages. When you're done, tap Save. Adjust the scan There will be times when the Notes app can't quite make out the exact corners of a document, so it will capture a scan but ask you to adjust the corners. Drag each magnifying glass corner to the proper spot and then tap Save. A helpful tip for using the adjustment tool is to not place your finger too close to the corner. If you're in the general area, you can drag and adjust as needed. Otherwise, you cover the magnifying glass and can't see your adjustments. Then what? Adjust the color scheme of a scanned document, sign, highlight sections, share or save the document using the iOS 11 share sheet. Select the Markup as PDF option to covert the scan to a PDF, draw on it using your finger on an iPhone or iPad, or use the Apple Pencil to mark it up on an iPad Pro.
