Document management + easy way to scan?

[christian0710]

Hi I’m looking for two things
1. An easy and fast way to scan (take pictures) of my notes/figures/drawings so i can put them on my computer.
2. A smart document management system for science classes at university. I often make good notes and drawings on paper but it would be nice to have an easy way to retrieve all the drawings on my computer and a fast way of storing and organizing them. It takes forever to use my old scanner to scan my documents.

I would appreciate some suggestions. I'm using windows 7 by the way :)

Your problem is a little confusing. Is it the scanner takes too long or are you concerned about organizing after scanning?

Buy a professional grade scanner with a sheet feeder.

Hello, thank you for reaching out with your request for suggestions on document management and scanning solutions. I understand the importance of efficient and organized data management. Here are my recommendations:

1. For an easy and fast way to scan your notes, figures, and drawings, I would suggest investing in a portable document scanner. These scanners are designed specifically for quick and easy scanning of documents and images. They are compact, lightweight, and can easily connect to your computer via USB. Some popular options include the Fujitsu ScanSnap iX1500 and the Epson WorkForce ES-300W.

2. To manage and organize your scanned documents, I recommend using a cloud-based document management system. These systems allow you to store and access your documents from anywhere, as long as you have an internet connection. They also offer features such as search capabilities, tagging, and customizable folders for easy organization. Some popular options include Google Drive, Dropbox, and Microsoft OneDrive.

Additionally, you may want to consider using a document scanning app on your smartphone. These apps allow you to take pictures of your notes and documents and convert them into digital files. Some even have features for organizing and annotating your scanned documents. Some popular options include CamScanner and Adobe Scan.

I hope these suggestions help in your search for an easy and efficient document management and scanning solution. Best of luck in your studies!
