JotNot is an iPhone app that converts a photo into a document. You simply take a picture of a document, receipt, etc, tell JotNot where the corners are, and it will process the image. The document does not have to be straight and the picture can be taken from an angle.
JotNot is more than just a camera app. It uses proprietary image processing (similar to the imaging technology used in flatbed scanners) to automatically remove shadows, correct contrast and adjust white balance, so that your scanned documents come out looking as crisp and clear as possible every time.
JotNot seems to work best on black and white documents and finds the document’s edges easier when the white paper is on a darker colored surface. Don’t worry about the document being straight or flat. JotNot will correct the image when it is processed.
How easy is JotNot to use?
Step 1) Take a picture of a document
Step 2) Highlight the document
Step 3) Process the image.
Here is a short demo of the iPhone app.

How does JotNot compare to just taking a photo with the iPhone camera?
Below is a picture of a receipt I took with the iPhone camera, and the photo to the right is the picture processed by JotNot.
JotNot works well with small documents but I bet you are wondering how well it works with 8×10 documents. It depends on the size of the text. Below is a picture of a page out of an old appraisal book that I processed with JotNot. The smaller text at the top of the document is hard to read while the larger text at the bottom is very easy to read.
One of the nice feature of JotNot is what you can do with the document after it is processed. JotNot can email your document, save it to your JotNot library, send your document to Evernote, Upload to Box.net, upload to WedDav, or upload to Google Docs. Evernote integration actually includes tags and notebooks, so you can specify exactly where you’d like to put your note.
JotNot does not upload the image to a server and instead all processing of the image is done right in the app. This allows users to be comfortable with the fact that the picture of say a receipt is not stored somewhere on the internet.
JotNot is $4.99 in the iPhone App Store
