Now that does sound pretty cool! Here's hopeing 11.0 will indeed do that! -----Original Message----- From: 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 6:36 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com Subject: Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - CNET
it's very loose thinking at this point, but let's say I have a document that I need to sign: perhaps, it will be possible to write your signature with your finger on your phone screen and have it placed in the document. placed in the correct position, that is. then I could either print it out and submit it or send it electronically. conversely, perhaps we will be able to import into the Notes app from, say, an email attachment, and be able to sign it just by writing on the screen. I have experienced being on my own and needing to get a document signed quickly and have had, unfortunately, to search around my friends to find someone who had time to come over and help me sign it. I am hoping that this new functionality might help me out in this respect. Plus, I like my privacy! just being hopeful, Sandy sent from the dark side of the moon > On 11 Jul 2017, at 10:49, Mike Ulrich <mulr...@centurylink.net> wrote: > > I think I see where you're going with this, but could you elaborate a bit? > Signature; as in using for what? > Thanks and much appreciated! > > -----Original Message----- > From: 'Sandratomkins' via VIPhone [mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com] > Sent: Tuesday, July 11, 2017 5:07 AM > To: viphone@googlegroups.com > Subject: Re: How to use iOS 11's Notes app as a document scanner - > CNET > > it sounds as though we may be able to input a signature and have it placed on > the document.
