We love scanners. LOVE THEM. A scanners is the perfect Evernote companion because it lets you eliminate the papers that keep you from embracing a clutter-free life. This is why we’re so excited about today’s announcement: Evernote is now bundled with new Canon imageFormula P-150 scanners, available for both Windows and Mac.

The Canon imageFormula P-150

This little number has become one of the most coveted pieces of hardware at the Evernote office, and for good reason. First, it’s just plain cool. This super-compact scanner may look like a simple sleek black brick, but it unfolds to reveal a powerful 15 page/min duplex scanner that goes wherever you go.

Looks only tell part of the story. Check out their retail box and you’ll see an Evernote logo right on the front. Why? Because Evernote is an integral part of this scanner. When you pop their CD into your drive you’ll be presented with two choices: install their software and install Evernote (we can assume you’ve done the latter). After you have installed the Canon CaptureOnTouch software, you’ll see two Evernote optimized options:

Scan to Evernote (Handwritten note): Will generate a JPG, perfect for our image search
Scan to Evernote (Document): Will generate a PDF. If you’re a Premium user we’ll make that searchable, as well

Once scanned, a new note is created in Evernote on the desktop containing the scan. From there, Evernote takes over, making your scan accessible from any computer or phone you use. It couldn’t be easier.

Get your Canon P-150 today!

These scanners are perfect for home, travel and small office environments. Get your scanner today. Your Evernote life will be better for it.

If you already have an imageFormula P-150, and would like the Windows or Mac Evernote-enabled software, you can get it here.

Evernote rocks! I have a couple of older Canon scanners and they’re so slow that it’s a pain to use them. If I had this little beauty my enjoyment of Evernote would reach new and exciting levels. Frightening really … in the most delightful way!

As soccer trainer, I would used it for scanning handwritten training sessions and match postions and plays, so I can reflect on improments or corrections…

Please post a link to a retailer that stocks the Mac version (Canon imageFormula P-150M). Amazon carries the PC version only (P-150). In Google Shopping, three P-150M vendors show up, all out of stock.

  P-150 (without M) is backwards compatible with MAC, you just need to download new driver from canon.com

    The image on this blog post shows Evernote integration working on a Mac, but the link to the drivers on the Canon site only has Windows drivers.
    
    Can you really buy the standard version of this scanner and download the Mac drivers somewhere? Or do you have to buy the Mac version of the scanner from Canon?

    Thanks, Martin. Based on your reply I have just purchased a P-150 and will post the results.

    Just to follow up: the P-150M is now widely available, for those who don’t want to install the new driver themselves.

    On my Mac I use NO driver, instead I use the ultra simple built-in Image Capture.
    
    Any scanner will scan directly into Evernote on Mac. Click “Scan to:” and choose Evernote from the menu.
    
    I’m sure this Canon is a rockin’ machine and I mean no disrespect. I am a simplicity enthusiast.

I have wanted a portable scanner for so long! I invariably end up with these notebooks that all my important and sentimental memorabilia; including receipts and photographs, jots and doodles, fortunes from cookies, & magazine articles just get lost in. I love that Evernote helps me sort, store, and finally ENJOY all the little things that bring a smile to my face when I’m out and about. You guys are super rad, and totally my new tech heros.

LOVE the P-150 with Evernote….The combo has allowed my real estate business to go completely paperless (ok, occasionally I have to print a doc, but usually for someone else) and HIGHLY portable. Neanderthals still send me paper, so the P-150 gives it to me in a file that Evernote then indexes…perfect! I go from home to office to client site to vacation, to wherever, with a highly searchable (thanks Evernote) COMPLETE file cabinet in my Macbook Pro. (I also use Dropbox for the really big files). I leave a portable printer in my car for emergencies, utilize the iPhone app when running around without the MBP, and the iPad app is handy when traveling out of town for the day. It’s costs a bit, but it is a great VALUE!

ONE MORE THING….P-150 comes without a case. I looked long and hard for something that would protect it inside my Waterfield Design Bag. Nothing seemed to fit the unit well. Ready for this….a thick camping/hiking sock (black looks best) from REI. Twelve bucks will get you a pair (I know expensive socks, but cheap cases), well crafted, soft so it won’t scratch the beautiful finish. I roll the end up so it wont fall out….it won’t impress your friends….but the P-150 will. Geek Cred!
