Apple iOS 15.4: ‘Scan Notes’ Feature Can Copy Written Text to Device; Here’s How

Apple's Notes app gets a significant feature with the release of the iOS 15.4, and it aims to bring a feature that avoids the need to copy the text word-per-word from an external source. The new 'Scan Notes' feature brings an accessibility function for users that utilizes the Notes app and the iPhone's camera for all the user's needs.

Apple iOS 15.4: 'Scan Notes' Feature Arrives

Apple released the iOS 15.4 version to the public last week, and it got several reviews of the operating system, and some of it was mixed feelings towards the device. However, it also released a feature that brings the new function for the Note app with the "Scan Notes" to help turn text or written words into digital copies.

Turning these written or screenshot texts into a digital copy that will come to the Notes app will help save time and avoid exerting effort in copying it individually into the app. Here, users can access it anytime, without the need to bring one's notebook or pen and paper for the feature.

It may also work with school or office notes, available for sharing and accessing other users via the Notes app, AirDrop, or the mail.

How to Use 'Scan Notes' Feature

Apple released a video tutorial that dictates what to do with the new feature on the Notes app. It only requires the device to be on iOS 15.4 and the text copied in any supported language.

Open the Notes app on one's device, and create a new note. When the keyboard is up, click the Camera icon.

Users may now point the camera to the note they wish to copy and click 'Insert.'

Apple iOS Updates

Apple's iOS 15 is the current operating system that pairs well with the latest devices of the Cupertino giant, and it focuses on the many functions of the latest offers. However, it got rid of bugs, particularly on the beta phase of the OS; take for example, Siri's issues that store user recordings on the device that got a fix from Apple.

The latest iOS 15.4 updates got reports from many iPhone users claiming that it significantly drains the iPhone's battery charge. The problem has been a long issue for iPhone users with new updates for the operating system, and there have been no explanations as to why it happens for the device. It is unknown if users will have a fix after these complaints.

The iOS 15.4 does not bring problems for users only, but this latest feature is a massive help to turn doodles or scripts to be accessible digitally via the Notes. It may also help copy-pasting texts into the smartphone and have it available for sending to people, without the need to copy it text-by-text, which takes time and effort.
