How To Quickly Scan Documents in the Notes App

[@fredbenjamin7072]

This woman is a spectacular teacher! Clear, logical and precise. Thank you!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Wow, thank you Fred!

[@elizabethbooth8794]

At 70- I considered my knowledge a lost cause/ you’re so clear and articulate. I’m so grateful, besides, I love an older teacher with patience & knowledge. Gratefully Elizabeth

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you Elizabeth!!

[@gudgengrebe]

This is great! I’m 67 and am coming late in the day to all this. It’s hard to find someone who has the patience and the ability to explain things clearly. I found this so helpful. I subscribed after watching the first few minutes!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much!☺️

[@geoffdickinson1310]

Finally, we have an instructor that is not focussed on showing off skills by performing each task at double speed. In my observation this has been a stand out problem since computers first hit our desks years ago. Thank you for explaining the procedures at a speed which can easily be comprehended and understood by most people. Many other so called instructors could take a lesson from your methods. Thank you

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much Geoff!! Really appreciate your kindness.

[@PlayerWellKnown]

I’m really tech savvy and I’m the go to guy in my family for tech problems. But even being a self professed nerd, I still learnt something in this video! I really like your presentation style. My daughter is about to be given her first iPhone (hand me down), your channel is going to be the first channel I point her to in learning to use it. Subbed. Thanks!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks for sharing! I hope your daughter loves her new iPhone!

[@KarlBeeThree]

Like you I'm the family tech guy but my tech background comes from the mainframe world. I'm an early adopter of the PC back in the MS DOS and PC DOS days but I'm 85 now and the tech world has progressed WAY past where I was when I retired so I'm basically needing to learn as fast as I can like everyone else just to keep up. I just discovered this channel and it's like gold! Thanks to Ellen for presenting technical information in a well thought out style that's easily absorbed. Good job!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you!

[@patnewson6908]

Fascinating! I’ve been using iPhone, screen shots, photos for years & did not know this! Thanks.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Glad it was helpful Pat! Thanks for watching.

[@davesmith1578]

Ellen is perhaps on of the best teachers I’ve seen on KZbin. Fantastic.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you Dave!!

[@myfriendschmeeda]

I agree wholeheartedly @davesmith1578 !

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much!😊

[@LVGaryD1]

Wow! I did not know most of this. All these years I always thought the notes app was to write down grocery shopping lists or where we parked our cars. Thank you!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching!

[@markwalker6718]

New iOS don’t tap app but hold it and options pop up

[@Brineytoes]

I use it for digital recipes. They are easier to see that recipe cards.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Great use case!

[@user-gz5mx2nd5p]

Me too

[@janetstanland2015]

Thank you! I am so pleased to have found you. Believe me, at 76 with no children in my life, you are a jewel 💕

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much Janet!

[@tonypatrick7848]

⁠excellent feature and thank you so much

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You’re welcome Tony!

[@SuperKranf]

Thank you Ellen. I'm 90 and you are one of the best teachers I have had in the field of IOS. Thank you for your valuable help. You simplified with clarity the ability of a 90 year old to scan and send in PDF form.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You're very welcome! I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the comment!

[@pamelaclayton7535]

Wow Ellen I was born in the 50’s and have to ask my grandchildren to teach me all this new technology. Now that I have found you. I will be able to teach them a few things that they don’t even know! Thank you.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Wonderful! I love hearing that Pamela! 😀

[@murraycharters6102]

Thanks a million Ellen. I am 80 years old and I have an IPhone 12 Pro. I am sick of having to resort to asking one of my Sons or Grandchildren how to do things. This scanning to notes and forwarding in a PDF format will be very useful to me. I have made a note of your Utube site, subscribed and will use it often. I’ll be honest, I hate technology, however if one knows how to use it, it is brilliant. I feel very sorry for people who have not made an effort to use modern technology. It has got to the point where if you can’t use it or understand it, one really can’t operate in this world we now live in. Your Utube channel is a Godsend for people like me. I like to be independent and not have to ask family how to do things. Thanks again, the most useful Utube channel I have found in years.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Murray, Thank you so much for your comprehensive comment. It makes me so happy when I hear how helpful my videos are to seniors! If you have questions send me an email. You’ll find my email on the KZbin channel.

[@jlcarte]

I Write This message from From France To tell you are a wonderful teacher 😊👏👏👏

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you! 😃

[@secrethealinghacks1913]

So glad I found you. People don’t understand that our generation had phones on the wall with coiled wire attached to the receiver. 😊

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Isn’t that the truth!😂 Thanks for watching.

[@wolson9]

Despite having used the iPad since the first one, having worked with computers since 1964, and having been a Professor in Engineering, you taught me something new! Great video! Even an old goat like me can learn something new!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much!😊

[@user-zk8ed4kd2b]

You're a great teacher. You don't leave out the steps necessary to complete the task. Thank you.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

I appreciate that! Thanks for watching.

[@manuelguzmanjr6622]

A real easy to follow teacher, she is the best!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

I appreciate that Manuel!!

[@robodd4694]

Wow! This is so cool. I didn't even know these options were there. I was using another app to scan then go back and forth. Thank you so much for the info and I LOVE your presentations. No bling, no drama, no fluff, no clickbait, just pure info and a calm voice.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks for your kind words Rob! Glad you found the video useful! Thanks for taking the time to watch.

[@jacquiposener7262]

I have just found this in my feed and it is fantastic! So clear and at a great speed. You thanked us for watching but I want to thank you for making such a good clear video. I’ve subscribed😊

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful! Thanks for subscribing.

[@dadofeagans]

I have 55 years in computers but I learn stuff new each day. It helps to practice this quick scan stuff so you can do it on the fly when youre on the phone or some other distracting circumstance.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much for your input! I agree practice helps keep it fresh in your mind.

[@jeanklemm2153]

Love that you don’t shout or talk a million miles per hour 😊. Such clear and helpful tips. I have an iPhone 15 pro max which I got mainly for the camera and and iPad Air but I know I’m missing out on so many features. Can’t wait to explore your back catalogue. Very excited 🎉

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much Jean! I hope you find the videos useful! The camera is really great isn’t it?

[@DaveGoAZ]

I do a lot of virtual training on digital technology and can say that this instructor is outstanding. Clear, concise, well-paced. Great directionals (what’s where). As a fellow senior, I truly appreciate another senior teaching us about digital technology.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Wow, thanks so much Dave! I appreciate your comment.😊

[@michelhernandez2199]

Hi From France - Thank you so much for taking the time to explain these features - Note for all the people mentioning they are old and so happy to find your channel : stop thinking you are old and please be aware these tools are complex and need explanations. I am 57, ex CEO of a decent size company in the silicon valley tech industry, and I am still very glad to find such channel and these very clear « stepbystep » explanations. You are as smart as anyone, how old you are ; but these modern tools need clear tutorial, like this one. Thanks again

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much for your comprehensive comment! I appreciate you taking the time to watch.

[@aka572]

I'll bet you are a retired teacher with years of experience. The best ones speaking slowly and clearly. Great job done and I will definitely subscribe.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much! You would be partially correct. I taught school for about 8 years and then became a Respiratory Therapist for 30.

[@nancyapp1519]

I'm so glad I discovered your KZbin video. You have such a clear description of every step, a calm demeanor, and excellent pacing! I'll be watching many more of your videos! Thank you!!!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much for your kind words Nancy! I appreciate your support.

[@davidhinkle2385]

This is the first of your videos that I’ve ever seen. The most outstanding feature of your video is that you talk slow enough so that us older folks can follow you. Thank you so much for that. Keep up the good work..😊

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much David!😊

[@dayleerickson4554]

Hello from Melbourne, Florida, and Iowa.. I’m a Snowbird and I travel quite a bit.. I’ve been using my iPhone 13. Looks like I need to get a 15…. I scan quite a bit to Dropbox. Your tip about clicking auto to manual is a tremendous lifesaver.. in the past, I’ve just been trying to hurry with my scans and I couldn’t figure out why I had to go so fast to get a good scan…. your tip on clicking the auto button to manual. Wow it made a big big difference. Keep coming out with all your new tips for people like me you’re great….

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much Dayle!!

[@Cappy22279]

For the last 15 years I have been using Notes App for grocery list. I am amazed. I have been using my Brother copy machine and the windows app on my desktop to scan docs and save in scanned file. Then transfer to an email. Now I can text a scanned doc from my phone or IPad ! Game changer. Thank you! I love listening to your calm voice. Lovely. You have a Great gift for teaching. I subscribed and am going to watch all of your tutorials. 😊

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Really appreciate that Cappy!

[@countrygardensns9262]

I am so very impressed! This is just what I need. I don’t mind asking for help. I just get tired of the comments when I ask the third time how to do something. I watched your video a few times and never got a snarky comment about my memory. Thank you.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Glad it was helpful! Thank you for watching.

[@MJacques]

What are breath of fresh air? Is someone closer to my age explaining what needs to be done in a nice slow rhythm thank you so much. I really appreciate our subscribe and will continue to watch your videos. I’m gonna send it to my mother.

Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching MJ!

[@Brineytoes]

Thank you so much. You are one of the best teachers I have seen on KZbin for adults and you made it easy to understand.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thank you so much!😊

[@rockledgeln]

You might want to let your viewers know that this works to send a pdf to another iPhone or via email. It doesn't work if you are trying to text a pdf from an iPhone to an Android phone. I used it today, followed your great instructions, and everything worked perfectly with the exception of trying to send it to an Android. I sent it to her email instead. Love your videos. Thanks so much for posting them. I'm learning a lot.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks for sharing your experience! Are you talking about a PDF scanned into the Notes app or a PDF that’s stored on your iPhone? Notes would not be compatible with Android but a regular PDF should be. Hope that helps.

[@rockledgeln]

@@EllensTipsForiOSOn my iPhone I scanned several pages into Notes and then converted them to pdf as instructed. I was able to send via Text Message to another iPhone but not to an Android phone. I found out the Android phone user's email address and sent the pdf that I had scanned into Note via email. When I googled sending pdf from iPhone to Android phone I saw that it can't be done. Only iPhone to iPhone but not iPhone to Android via Text.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

That makes sense that it wouldn’t be compatible with Android. Thanks again for the info.

[@megansutherland8942]

I've never watched such a clear tech video. You're amazing!

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks Megan! I appreciate that.

[@johnenglish929]

Thank you so much for this. You explain everything so clearly. You obviously have a natural gift for this sort of thing.

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Wow, thank you! Appreciate your support.

[@johnross8614]

This was super helpful as occasionally I need to send someone a new contract for parking spaces I deal with and have no problem writing them as notes but had no idea all I had to do was print it and scan it to my phone to send out as a pdf. You earned a new subscriber today

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Glad it was helpful John! Thanks for watching.

[@rogeroforlando8503]

Hi Ellen, please explain the use and distinction of scanning or take a picture of a document. Which is better for what? And why?

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

It would depend on what you’re using it for. A picture could end up being a large file where scanning a document would be relatively small in comparison.

[@francisexperience]

great presentation yet again, love these presentations from Ellen

[@EllensTipsForiOS]

Thanks so much Francis!
