Tips that save time
Use consistent folder names by course and week. Keep scans short and frequent so nothing piles up before finals, parent meetings, or grading deadlines. With ScanWow's on-device full-text search you can skip the folder browse entirely — just type a keyword and find the exact page.
FAQ
Can scanned notes replace photos in my camera roll?
Yes. Scanned PDFs are usually easier to organize, share, and search than random photo snapshots.
Is OCR useful for studying?
