I have a quick follow-up question to this topic (or maybe a particular
use-case scenario is a better way to phrase it). I have several hand
written notes that I take throughout the day. I want to scan them
into OneNote for two main reasons:
1. Get them into digital format, where they will be searchable and
more useful to me.
2. Centralize my "reference section"; I'd like to have all my notes in
one place.
I've already decided to use OneNote, as it contains just about every
other part of my reference section, and I like its OCR's track record
of recognizing my handwriting. My question is what's the shortest
path to getting stuff scanned into OneNote? It seems like far too
many steps using OmniPage to create a new file from the scanned page,
and then importing the documents into OneNote (maybe printing the
scanned doc w/o saving it first would work...hmm).
Can anyone share what they've found to work in this situation. I did
just recently purchase NeatReceipts for scanning/storing my receipts,
with a glimmer of hope in the back of my mind that I could also use it
for importing into OneNote.
Thanks in advance,
Bob O'Malley
P.S. Sorry if this appears to be a post hijack. I tried to keep my
question related to the OP's original thought...
I have two suggestions.
One is already mentioned: use the insert from scanner tool right in
ON. To make it easier, there's even a keyboard shortcut to make it a
one-step process.
The second suggestion (what I use now because I don't like the native
scanner engine in ON- different topic) is to use MS Office Tools -->
Image Scanner. Scan to TIFF in high quality and save to desktop
folder for me to then drag into the appropriate ON page en batch. I
have the entire process stored in a shortcut on my desktop that
activates a scanner profile I've setup with all the details including
quality and location to save. Thus, I click a shortcut on my desktop
and within 10 seconds the doc is scanned right to this folder.
