JotNot for iPhone is a nifty app that corrects your less-than-perfect photos and sends them into Evernote. Whether you’ve taken a snapshot of a business card at a wacky angle, a photos of a whiteboard under poor lighting conditions, or an off-kilter receipt, JotNot will magically fix contrast and let you correct the angles—turning your snapshot into a straightened, cleaner version of its former self. It’s like turning your iPhone camera into a scanner.

The results are pretty impressive, and (here’s the best part) it’s great for Evernote.

The integration

JotNot used the Evernote API to develop their latest release. The paid version of JotNot allows you to send your improved images into Evernote (you can even assign titles, tags, and notebooks right from their app). Once in Evernote, those images will be processed by our recognition technology and made available on your computer, phone, and the web.

How to use it

Install JotNot on your iPhone
Snap a photo of a whiteboard, business card, book jacket…
Adjust the image in JotNot by aligning the edges of the blue box
Let it process
Send the image to Evernote

Voila!

Bought it. Love it. You guys should buy this company and integrate the functionality into the Evernote app directly!

How do you test the free version of JotNot – it won’t let you save a file. There should either be a limited time trial or a limited number of photos…othewise, I don’t see buying the full version.

I was hoping that JotNot would make the file-sizes smaller for scanned receipts… but the difference between me snapping an iPhone receipt picture and using JotNot for a receipt picture doesn’t seem very big, from a file-size point of view (meaning maybe a 100K file instead of a 600K file…)

I prefer this could be built dir into the evernote.
otherwise this “enhance” effect could also be done in many other free ware.

Hi,

I bought JotNot right after I tried it, mainly because of the Evernote integration (which I’ve been for quite a while).

I’ve made the mistake of taking a picture of a text with Evernote rather than JotNot, which means that I can’t seem to easily get the image back to JotNot’s scanner. I will have to learn, but it would be nice if there were a way for JotNot to get at images scanned with Evernote.

OTOH, maybe I’m missing something obvious.

I’m using Evernote for more and more all the time and am synchronizing it across my iPhone, home computer, and laptop.

I bought JotNot based on this blog and so far it has been great. What a great replacement for taking the time to scan documents. Please continue to update this blog with ideas!!!

Will jotnot be available for the Palm Pre’

That is a very kool applicatation. It reminds me of the old spy movies from the late 60′s early 70s. This type of application would have been a marvel and a star scene of any James Bond film. It really is still a marvel to me. Nice work on that app. The future has arrived.

I’m having trouble exporting the JotNot photo to Everynote now. Anybody else?

Yes I too am having trouble using the Evernote button in JotNot. Any fixes out there yet? It was working very well together.
