In the Trunk: The Tiny Doxie Scanner (plus a giveaway)

Partners | 21 Jul 201021 Jul 10 | By Andrew Sinkov

It’s not often that we talk about a device that could easily have been part of a James Bond flick. It isn’t a watch that turns into a jetpack (still waiting for that). We’re talking about Doxie, which is just about the tiniest document scanner we’ve ever seen.

The Doxie scanner is about the circumference of your wrist. It can be thrown into your bag, purse or, even, back pocket. It gets its power over USB, so no power cables are necessary. Most importantly, it sends your scans directly to Evernote. What could be better?

How it works

After a quick software setup, your Doxie scanner is ready to send scans into Evernote on your desktop.

Launch the Doxie software (Mac and PC compatible)
Choose how you want your document scanned (PDF or image)
The name you give the scan will be the title of your note
Choose Evernote as a destination
Scan your document

Available in the Evernote Trunk

The Doxie Scanner, along with lots of other great Evernote-friendly products, is available in the Evernote Trunk.

As a prop stylist/art director for TV and Film, I am totally into my tools. Doxie seems like one of the greatest!..and a perfect compliment to Evernote, which helps me keep organized my mountain of prop tear sheets, design resources, job receipts, and creative ideas flowing.

I’d throw it in the carry-on and take it on all my business trips—-the ability to scan receipts for my expense reports as the trips progress will save me HOURS of time when I get home!!!

As a graduate student, I would use Doxie to scan articles that I use for my dissertation research. I would add them to my designated “Thesis” Notebook in Evernote.

I would use the Doxie scanner to make my personal office paperless. I much prefer searching in evernote to searching through a file cabinet. Not to mention the space all that paper takes up!

I love this idea! I have been using my digital camera as a pseudo-scanner and then bringing the photos into Evernote. A bit tedious. I’d love to be able to quickly scan my multitude of receipts, business cards, meeting notes, napkin lightbulb moments, everything! The uses are endless!

I am an Evernote fanatic that is unfortunately integrated with paperwork and receipts in everyday life. Doxie, being portable and USB powered, to scan directly into my life organization tool would be awesome. A lot of my work is done out of office and so when there is not necessarily a power outlet nearby, this would allow me to scan to Evernote along the way rather than have a pile to sort into my flatbed scanner at home, one by one.

I am a dreamer, a scribbler but not an organizer. I took notes evwrywhere … and somewhere. Could Doxie be the creator of a bright idea?

I love the compact size of this scanner. Since I hate paper and scan everything, it will go right in my backpack next to my netbook. That way, everything at work and all my receipts will instantly be available through evernote. (OCR on the receipts is the key to finding what you need wherever you need it.)
Good Job Guys.

I will have my students scan in their lab notebooks so I can link their experiments to the digital data we collect.

Just on time.

I will definitely be using this to scan any magazine pages/images/articles that helps me (inspires me) with my writing.
