![]() ![]() Instead, a new note is created and you’re immediately writing inside it. ![]() If you’re sitting in a class or a meeting and you need to jot something down, there’s no longer any need to unlock your iPad and launch the right app. The best one is called Instant Notes, which lets you immediately start hand-writing a note on your iPad screen when you touch the Apple Pencil to it while on the lock screen. Most of the other big new features of Notes are focused on users of the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil. New Notes features for the iPad Pro and Apple Pencil I’m surprised Apple hasn’t built document scanning directly into the Camera app itself. Notes is a great app, but not everybody uses it-and the document-scanning feature is hidden behind that plus button. It’s awfully nice to be able to find text within a scanned document, but Apple has chosen not to support that. This means that your scanned documents aren’t searchable. I was, however, disappointed that Notes doesn’t offer any optical-character recognition features like the third-party apps. I didn’t find Apple’s edge-detection features to be quite as good as those in third-party scanning apps, but it was perfectly functional. Yes, this means that you can now scan a document, sign it (with your finger via Markup) and then share the resulting signed PDF. From there you can tap to open the document at full size, save it out as a PDF, share it with someone, or use iOS’s Markup feature to annotate it. When you’re done, tap Save to save the document into a Note. You can scan multiple pages within a single document, so if you’ve got a five-page document you need to scan, you can scan each page. (You can also edit the automatic crop points if you think the final document appears too skewed.) Behind the scenes, the app is using the edges of the document to remove any hint of perspective, so the end result looks as flat as a piece of paper. Notes will then try to detect the edges of your document, and you can tap to capture the document or wait a few seconds and the app will take the shot for you. ![]() You’ll be presented with a camera view and prompted to position a document within view of the camera. To scan a document, you enter a note and tap the plus button at the bottom of the screen (or just above the keyboard), then choose Scan Documents. ![]()
