Scan your Vaccination Card for Easy Access

In this video, we’re going to look at how we can scan our vaccination card into the Notes app on the iPad. When we scan our vaccination card, we have easy reference to it, just by opening up the Notes app. Let’s see how we do this. Let’s go to my iPad.

Now, the first thing we need to do is we need to open up our Notes app. We’re going to scan a vaccination card into the Notes app. I tap on it. Now, what I need to do is create a new note. I go to the upper right-hand corner and I tap on the new note icon. From here, I tap on the camera icon. When I tap on this, you’re going to see we have a few options. I can scan any documents, which is what we’re going to be doing. Or what I could do is take a photo.

Now, why would I scan a document as opposed to taking a photo? Well, when you take a photo, it’s just basically taken a photo of whatever we have in front of the camera. This includes the vaccination card and anything else that I may have on my desk. Well, when we scan it, what the iPad will do is crop into the document itself automatically. Also, if I scan a crooked, let’s sau that vaccination card was a little bit crooked. The iPad will automatically straighten it for me. And if it’s askew, it will also straighten out any corners that could be askew. Let’s see what I mean.

I’m going to scan, so I tap on scan. It opens up my camera. And now what I need to do is just aim it at what I want to scan. In my case, the vaccination card. So now I’m just going to move my vaccination card in front of the camera here. Now, when I do that, the iPad will scan it. It will automatically look for that document. And if I can hold my iPad still enough, it’s automatically going to take a photo. I do not have to tap on the shutter here. Let’s see what I mean.

I’m going to slide my card in here. We’re going to make it crooked, and we can see that it’s trying to get it scanned here. And there it is. It just scanned. So I’m going to move this to the side here, so it doesn’t grab another scan. If I leave that there, what it will do is it’ll keep scanning it so I could have four or five different scans of the same document.

Now what I do is I tap on my vaccination card here to take a look at it. If I want to retake it, I can tap on retake. If I want to delete it, .I tap on the trash. Let’s go and do that one more time. I’m going to retake it again. I moved my vaccination card over. It’s going to be crooked here and watch what happens when I hold it still enough. There it is. It grabbed it and it straightened it out and it cropped into the document. So all I’m doing now is looking at my vaccination card. When I’m finished. All I have to do is just tap on done. And then I tap on save. This is key. You do have to save it. And we can see we have my vaccination card.

Now, what’s really nice about this is when we scan it, what’s going to happen is as the iPad will look at that document and then look for a title and it will automatically title that. So when I swipe down here, I have a title here, so we can see that the iPad automatically detected that title and named the note. So I don’t even have to name that note. I’m going to hide the keyboard here. And then when I swipe down here, we can see we have my vaccination card. And again, I did not name this.

Now, if I want to pin this, so it’s easily accessible, all I do is just swipe over to the right. We can see we have a little pin there. I just keep swiping. And now it is going to be pinned at the top here. Anytime I need to show my vaccination card. I can open up my iPad or, being that I’m using iCloud, what I’m able to do is also open up my iPhone and that vaccination card will be on my iPhone as well.

So that’s how we can scan our vaccination card into the Notes app on the iPad. We just have to open up the Notes app, create a new note, tap on the camera icon, and then tap on scan. The iPad will automatically open up the camera that look for that document. When it sees that document, it’ll automatically scan it. It’ll crop it in and it’ll name the note.

So that’s how we can scan our vaccination card into the iPad so we have easy access to it from our different Apple devices.
