您可以使用智能手机扫描文档曾经是一种新事物。现在，它变得如此普遍，以至于当新的扫描应用程序出现时，人们只会说“meh”。我的意思是，他们怎么可能在这个阶段重新发明轮子？
但不管你信不信，有一些东西可以将扫描提升到一个新的水平，提高生产力。macOS 和 iOS 12 的一项主要被忽视的好功能是称为Continuity Camera的功能。在这里，您可以使用 iOS 设备扫描某些东西（或拍照），它会自动出现在您的 macOS 屏幕上。
此外，请务必从我们的姊妹网站查看我们的 YouTube 视频，我们将在其中讨论可用于从 iOS 设备进行快速扫描的最佳 iOS 扫描仪应用程序。
Scan & It

为此，您需要在此清单上勾选以下内容。
- 您至少需要(at least) MacOS Mojave和 iOS 12。这(Which)是当今大多数人。
- 您需要在同一个 wifi 网络上同时拥有Mac设备和 iOS 设备。所以暂时关闭那个虚拟专用网络..
- 两台设备还需要登录同一个 iCloud 帐户。iCloud 是连接 MacOS 和 iOS 设备进行扫描的秘诀。
- 据我所知，Continuity Camera目前仅适用于Apple
产品，例如 Pages、TextEdit、Notes、Mail等。我相信第三方应用程序很快就会参与进来。
如何使用连续性相机进行扫描(How To Scan
With Continuity Camera)
首先，打开要扫描图像的Apple产品。(Apple)出于本文的目的，我将使用我最喜欢的MacOS
笔记应用程序TextEdit。
右键单击(Right-click)
要放置图像的文档，然后选择“拍照(Take Photo)”或“扫描文档(Scan Documents)”，具体取决于您要执行的操作。在这种情况下，我将扫描文档。
现在屏幕上会出现一个小弹出框，告诉您使用 iPhone 扫描文档。
如果您查看您的 iPhone 屏幕，您现在将看到相机应用程序已打开，可以进行扫描。
指向文档，然后单击底部的圆形按钮。或者，指向文档并保持稳定。最终，相机会找出文档的开始和结束位置，并自动为您拍照。
正如您在上面的屏幕截图中看到的那样，您现在有几个选项。如果第一个搞砸了，您可以重新进行扫描。您可以使用底部的工具对其进行编辑，或者如果您对结果感到满意，请点击“完成”。这会将扫描传输到您的 macOS 文档。
根据您使用的MacOS程序，系统可能会询问您是否要将生成的文档转换为另一种格式。这纯粹是您个人的选择，但如果您看不出任何不这样做的理由，我会这样做。
结论(Conclusion)
您几乎可以对任何东西执行此操作——收据、发票、信件，基本上是您需要数字化的任何东西。让 iOS 自动将扫描结果发送到 macOS 可以减少几个步骤并为您节省一些时间。
How To Scan Documents On MacOS Using Only Your iOS Device
It used to bе a novelty that you coυld scan documents using
yoυr smartphone. Now, it’s becomе so common that peоple just saу “meh” when a
new scanning app comes along. I mean, how can they рossiblу reinvent the wheel
by this stage?
But believe it or not, there is something that takes scanning to a new level, productivity-wise. One nice feature to macOS and iOS 12 which gets mainly overlooked is something called Continuity Camera. This is where you can scan something (or take a picture) with your iOS device and it automatically appears on your macOS screen.
Also, be sure to check out our YouTube video from our sister site where we talk about the best iOS scanner apps you can use to make quick scans from an iOS device.
Scan & It
Shall Appear!
For this to work, you need to tick off the following on this
checklist.
- You
need at least MacOS Mojave and iOS
12. Which is most people these days.
- You
need to have both the Mac device and iOS device on the same wifi network. So
switch off that virtual private network for the moment..
- Both
devices also need to be logged into the same iCloud account. iCloud is the
secret sauce that connects both your MacOS and iOS devices for the scan.
- To
the best of my knowledge, Continuity Camera currently only works with Apple
products such as Pages, TextEdit, Notes, Mail, and so on. I’m sure third-party
apps will get in on the action soon.
How To Scan
With Continuity Camera
First, open the Apple product that you want to scan the image
into. For the purposes of this article, I am going to use my favourite MacOS
note-taking app, TextEdit.
Right-click
on the document where you want the image to go and choose either “Take Photo” or “Scan Documents”, depending on what you want to do. In this case, I
am going to scan a document.
A small pop-up box will now appear on the screen telling you
to scan the document with your iPhone.
If you look at your iPhone screen, you will now see the
camera app open, ready to scan.
Point at the document and click the round button at the bottom. Alternatively, point at the document and hold steady. Eventually, the camera will figure out where the document starts and ends, and snap a picture for you automatically.
As you can see in the screenshot above, you now have a few options. You can retake the scan if the first one is messed up. You can edit it using the tools at the bottom, or if you are satisfied with the result, tap “Done”. This will transfer the scan to your macOS document.
Depending on what MacOS program you are using, you may be
asked if you want to convert the resulting document into another format. This
is purely a personal choice on your part, but if you can’t see any reason why
not, I would just do it.
Conclusion
You can do this for virtually anything – receipts, invoices, correspondence, basically anything you need to digitize. Having iOS automatically shoot the scan over to macOS cuts out a few steps and saves you some time.
