What Else?

The scanning capability built into the Notes app on the iPhone and iPad allows you to scan in:

  • Addresses
  • URLs
  • Phone numbers

Notes is smart enough to link to the information you scan in, ex – a url gets hyperlinked so you can click the link and visit the website. Phone numbers are linked so when you click the phone number a call is made.
