How do I delete notes?

NotesCam doesn't support note deletion. To delete notes, use the file manager of your cloud storage service. (Dropdiv app, iOS Files app, Google Drive app, etc.)

Does NotesCam support cropping or renaming notes photos?

No, we capture the full frame so you don't have to worry about cropping errors while you are capturing. NotesCam skips cropping and naming to create the fastest possible capture experience. Cropping and renaming is much faster and easier to do later on at a keyboard. Here is a free crop tool: Photo MultiTool: Crop

Is NotesCam a document scanner?

NotesCam doesn't have some features you might expect from a document scanner like cropping and file naming, but it is a great tool for capturing documents. Since each document can be captured with a single tap, it is much faster than other document scanners. Cropping and naming can be done more quickly afterwards when sitting down at a keyboard.

Does NotesCam require logging in?

NotesCam doesn't collect your email address or ask you to create a password. If you use iCloud folders, you won't need to login at all. However, if you use Dropdiv or Google Drive, you will be sent to the respective website to login to your cloud storage service. NotesCam will never see your password.

Doesn't my Mac do image text recognition automatically?

Macs will recognize text in an image when you open it, but that text won't be made searchable. With NotesCam, the text is recognized and saved as a separate text file so the text can be searched on any system.
