Today I was using my phone to scan handwritten pages into my Mac using the “Import from iPhone > Scan Documents” feature. I tried to do it twice, and both times, the phone crashed out of the scanner mode after I had already scanned a couple pages. The computer displayed an error message that the scan couldn’t be completed because the iPhone got disconnected.
Anyone know what happened here, or how I can prevent this in the future? This created a whole lot of stress for me because I was trying to scan in my work at the end of a strictly timed exam! (Remote “learning,” am I right??)
I don’t know neither what caused it nor how to debug… Perhaps others here can chip in.
But to do some immediate remediation of your stress, best to try “another way”, including:
Take photographs of the pages with iPhone and move photos to Mac (my least favorite idea!), but works.
Use the “Scan Documents” feature in the iPhone’s “Files” app.
If using Dropbox, use their scanning feature
Use an app designed for scanning. I’ve used Scanner Pro for years (but the above Files and Dropbox methods sort of makes Scanner Pro redundant, but it has nice touch-up features).
Surely many more ways
These should get you going now while you are debugging a problem that perhaps has no easy fix (or is there is an easy fix?. Getting going now probably is the bigger opportunity for. you).
