How can I collate all my receipts and store them somewhere on my iPad and iPhone

Tax time is upon us, and for those of us in small business, it is time to pull together all those receipts and invoices.

Many receipts from retailers are on thermal paper and, by the time we get to tax time, the print can have faded so much that content of the receipt is not able to be read.

How can you save away all these receipts/invoice so that you can easily access and read them when needed - and perhaps even electronically share the collection of these receipts/invoice with your book-keeper or accountant?

A client of iTandCoffee - who has an iPad and iPhone, but no computer - had this very question just this week, and so we looked at a fantastic solution for storing all her receipts/invoices.

How to easily re-create a digital book from a hard-copy book/pages - and then publish it

Way back in 1984, a distant relative of my father-in-law created a wonderful, 300-page hardcover family history book - of which we have a copy.

We also have a short family history book put together by someone in my own father's family tree. In addition to those published books, we had various other typed and handwritten family history notes and letters for other branches of each of our family trees.

In recent times, my children had asked if we could source copies of the published books for their own book collections. Unfortunately, the books are no longer able to be re-printed and are only available in hard copy. And they are very out of date, needing updating to reflecting the generations that have come since the time they were published.

So, I set about first re-creating and updating the two books, getting them into digital format using the old hard-copy versions the books (with the authors permission, of course).

This was able to be completed so quickly - without having to re-type any of the words from the books!

Here's an app for scanning old slides

I have previously featured this tip, and thought I'd re-run it after making use of it myself in putting together some Family History books for my kids.

If you have some slides that you would like to scan into digital format, there is an App that may be worth a try - and it is from the same people who made one of my favourite photo scanning apps (which I have covered in this previous Handy Hint: For those who are looking to organise all those old photos - there's a great app for that!).

Problems scanning after upgrade to High Sierra

Scanning problems for Epson scanner after Mac Upgrade

A client who visited iTandCoffee last week had a frustrating problem with her much-loved scanner, an Epson DS-560.

This scanner really is amazing - able to scan two sides at once and is SO fast. If you have heavy-duty scanning needs, it's really worth considering.

However, our client found that, as soon as she upgraded her Mac to High Sierra, the Scan app associated with her Espon scanner would crash every time she tried to change the destination location for her scans
