![]() ![]() To test the Doxie Go, I scanned a variety of business cards, small handwritten notes and letter-sized documents transferred them to a Windows 7 netbook using the company's software and then sent them to an Evernote account as PDFs and JPGs. I had no issues with it, nor did I have to go running to the website for explanations of how to perform any of the tasks I tried - which is unusual.Īpparent also offers users its own storage/sharing service called Doxie Cloud, which lets you upload your scans and store them for up to three months it gives you an URL for each scan that you can share via email. ![]() I found working with the software to be a lot easier and more straightforward than a lot of other scanning software I've come across. You can send one, several or all of them to a local application you can save them to your computer as PDFs, PNGs, BMPs or JPGs or you can send them to a cloud service such as Dropbox or Google+. Once you've finished tweaking your scans, you can output them in a number of ways. If you want to keep several pages together (because the Doxie Go only scans one at a time), the application offers a "staple" feature that lets you group them together as a single document. You can browse the thumbnails to see how the scan looks if you want, you can click on a scan to enlarge it and adjust the contrast, brightness and saturation, or crop it and adjust the rotation. Once all your scans have been imported (which may take a while), they appear on the main screen. After that, once you've connected the Doxie Go to your system using the included USB cable, you just start the application, hit the "Import" button on the main page, and your scans are transferred to your computer. The scanner comes with its own software (for Windows or OS X), which you download and install from the website. In addition, while the Doxie Go was efficient, it isn't a speed demon Apparent rates it at about 8 seconds per page for 300 dpi, which is fine for a small portable scanner. There is a paper guide that you can push to the width of your document that helps somewhat. On the whole, I found it worked very well the scanner occasionally pulled smaller documents through crookedly, so I had to keep watch and re-scan those. To scan a document, you just push it gently into the front slot (which accept sizes ranging from business cards to legal-sized paper) and the Doxie Go will grab it and pull it through. (The former can also be used with an optional $30 Wi-Fi SD card to enable wireless data transfer to your computer.) If you max out the internal storage, don't fret: You can also store documents using the included SD card slot or the USB drive port. According to the company, the Doxie Go can store up to 512MB of data, or about 600 pages of copy. ![]()
