- In the Lifehack today, I’m going to show you, how you can scan your notes and documents to look as good as if it was done with a real scanner and how to erase and reuse the paper after scanning, just like with a rocketbook notebook.

The trick with the toaster is pretty cool, right? Got that from Michael from Vsauce. If you liked this one, you should watch my previous lifehack video, too: th-cam.com/video/TFpQMiwutws/w-d-xo.html
Instead of the toaster, will it work if I use a normal iron (with its steam turned off)
How about a blow dryer or something that wont take forever and "make a fire"?😂 is English your second language?
As busy student who is on campus all day, I do not think it is a safe or easier way compared to the Rocketbook. Yes the scanner may be better than Rocketbook, but going through the hassle of heating up one sheet of paper over again rather than just wiping it clean seems very inconvenient and unrealistic. Plus that one sheet of paper will show indentions from previously writing on it. Thanks for the tip about Google photo scanner though !!
It’s a good review. The only problem is that the ink reappears if it’s cooled again. Imagine leaving your notes in a cold car and returning to find every note you ever wrote on that paper. The reason the Rocketbook works so well with this pen is that you can truly erase the pages with water.
I don't have time to microwave paper notes in between classes. That's why I am still using the Rocketbook. Thank you for the tips re: Evernote and Google Photos Scanner!
Looks good! I really prefer the sleek, smooth, “moisturized-feeling” writing surface texture of the Rocketbook. Paper is so drying to my hand/palm. 😫
This is kind of an old video, so this isn't a criticism, but just an update for those who don't know.
Rocketbook has moved on from paper you had to microwave. They now use a kind of water resistant paper. You still use the Frixion pens, but now you can just erase with a little bit of water and a cloth.
The other thing Rocketbook gives you is the ability to automatically send to destinations. I can send directly to Google Drive, or even to a specific Google Drive folder. It's a level of automated organization I don't think you get with Evernote. And importantly, Rocketbook's app isn't tied to a paid service.
Rocketbook has come a long way since 2017. :)
Thanks for your suggestion :) however I would suggest that Office Lens gives you a more useful result as you can search in the document scanned.. ie OCR, but that is in Android. IOS seems to be more difficult to sort out..
rocket book in my humblest opinion is the epic winner in all circumstances because it offers a complete "system" of doing things! With rocketbook and its app, the scanned pages automatically transfer to desired folders as selected on the page itself! Its way too smooth and flawless system. But thanks for the video!
Muchísimas gracias, es lógica tu apreciación.
Do you have a video on using Evernote
I've never heard of the Google photo scanner, I'll have to check that out, thanks!
+Uncrated Crowd Quite cool, right? Glad you liked the Video.
Nice vid, Thanks fir the tips!
Uh - Please do not put paper on top of a toaster - Common sense would tell me that is just not a good idea. How about showing this done with a hair dryer or something a bit more safer? But, very good video, thank you. I was getting ready to buy a Rocketbook, but I will check this out first.
Hi Brian! I want you to check something: can I use any kind of paper but I have always to use the Frixion Pen? This is what you want to say? In this case, I think I can use a classic notebook, scan my notes, put it in the wave and finally I can reuse it. It's amazing!
Yes, exactly. Though the Rocketbook is of course made to be put in the microwave, so be careful and bare in mind that the paper needs heat, so if the book is closed it might not work as well.
Does it have OCR?
I am a fitness professional and teach multiple classes per day in which participant’s signatures are required. Is there a way to have each class roster named with a naming protocol OR sent to same destination in order of scan? And lastly is there a way to bulk scan?
Great ideas
Found you off the AverageConsumer's video (a reply to the Rocketbook). Subscribing.
+Miles White Well that comment apparently helped quite a bit. Thank you so much! I got some cool stuff coming this weekend, so subscribing was hopefully worth it.
The reason Rocketbook doesnt have future due to the cost. It is expensive as $34 and for that cost you can buy paper books needed for your whole college. The only additional thing it does is scanning the page which can be achieved with any free apps.
Think I like Camscanners treatment of photo scans better.
+Joe Large I tried it, but I found it to be a lot more work to get a good scan with CamScanner.
Does one note have a similar feature?
Microsoft has an app called Office Lens that can scan similarly and sync with OneNote.
You keep spending money on paper and I'll use rocketbook.
Reusing stickies is an awful idea. Who stores used stickies?
The point of the video is more to show that the mechanism behind the Rocketbook isn't as special as some may think. That doesn't mean that the product doesn't have its place.
@@BrianAlex you literally said that rocketbook was "obsolete" in your title. That does not suggest that rocketbook has its place
@@BrianAlex do you know what obsolete means?
sounds like someone is directly and specifically upset with the folks over at Rocketbook
Good video and you are correct. I have the Rockbook Everlast and so far it is has been nice. Though I do wish for more pages. That said, all you need is to get the paper above 100 degrees F. So, I wonder if you could put a 200 page notebook in the oven at 130 degrees without creating a fire or issue?
Well 130°F is about 50°C, so that shouldn't light the paper on fire. I want clarify though that I'm not responsible if it does, so be careful. I also don't know if it works that well, you'll have to see that for yourself, in theory it should though.
Books burn at 451 degrees. That's why Fahrenheit 451 is named that.
Don’t you need a $20ish subscription for Evernote? If so it would cost more than the Rocketbook.
+Jonathan Fauerbach No, Evernote is completely free. There is a premium option that increases the storage from 60MB a month to 1GB. But considering a Note takes up a few KB, you would be crazy if you needed that. Note scanning works just as well in the free version, too.
What I do and don't like... I do like the toaster trick. I don't like the suggestion to replace rocket book as the best part is its automatic sorting ability as a CEO and business owner its great to study HDMI HD Base T, CEDIA, Interior Exterior Remodeling, other subjects basically in webinars, you-tube, or books, take notes, circle an icon in my rocket book and have it automatically sorted, saves tons of time. Secondly I have used Everlast found it great for travel but not overall. I prefer camera scanner to this, emailing it to my self and then manually sorting in the folders I have set up for rocketbook already.
nice video keep up the good work
+mazurestar Thanks so much!
Is there difference between everlast version and wave, this method that you mention in order to erase the ink, can be used in with the version everlast? because this new version what I see is now it uses water to be erased
+Roberto Garcia The Rocketbook Everlast uses pages made from plastic instead of paper, that's why it's water resistant. I would guess that if you flip open a page and heat it, the ink would be erased, but I don't know about the whole closed notebook, because plastic probably wouldn't heat through as well with water. And the Everlast is not heat resistant according to Rocketbook...
Roberto Garcia the main difference is the everlast one has symbols you select with pen on each page to automatically designate where it is stored when you go through and scan your stuff. Also to clear up some misconceptions -- only erase your rocket books in the microwave not the toaster oven, just sound like a bad idea and in a microwave only the water is hot which is what you want. It also has micro dots and other small unnoticed details that assist the app to scan better. It is not actually the same as paper "just thicker", it is a special blend. The everlast is a similar if not slightly different formula blend too. I own several rocket books and an everlast so while I'm not any kind of expert, I have had good experiences with both and as far as I can tell practically they work the same except for a slightly faster scanning and sorting thanks to the symbols in the everlast version. Both use the same pens and I believe both can be erased with moisture and heat in microwave. Please correct me if there are important differences I missed or was wrong about, or if there is a difference in being able to wipe single pages clean. Thanks and cheers
Self correction the others were correct, the everlast does not advertise the ability to clear the whole book like the other rocketbooks. My mistake and apologies,
Thank you very much for this brillant video! I would like to know how can I easily play with my notes after I scanned them? Like erasing phrases or transform it into digital text. I have a macbook so evernote do not transfer handwriting to text in mac.
+Loquita Qamar Thank you for the kind words!
+Loquita Qamar Sorry, I don't know how to convert the handwriting to text, I'd have to google that myself.
Well done. Great hack to heat up paper, and also thanks for the tip on Google photo scanner, that's great. I use an ordinary notebook with pages stuck in, and it's easier to just scan them with EN. They are so cheap, coming from renewable resources, and can be recycled so well, that you can get a lot of them for the cost of a rocketbook. Really liked this video, so subscribed!
IMHO, the built in Evernote scanner for Android users is total garbage. 25% of scans are blurry and unusable. I use Genius Scan. It's much faster and scans are clear.
Very interesting!! Thanks for this video! Just one question: how is Evernote with OCR??
It works with the desktop app, but I think Office Lens from Microsoft does it better.
Brian Alex so question.... after watching your video, you’re basically saying that you don’t need a rocket book, because with Evernote scanner and Evernote, OR office lens and one note, you could just use those apps to save your handwritten notes (even skipping the fusion pens thing too), yes? I really appreciate your video. TY!
I dont understand the logic behind this video. The best part of using rocketbook was to avoid carrying a bunch of papers in your backpack. Plus its super nice being able to send notes from rocketbook straight to the destination just by scanning. Like yea you can use the Evernote scanner, but with rocketbook you can have your notes sent to tons of different destinations and different apps. Saying that Evernote makes rocketbook obsolete is like saying a flash drive makes the cloud obsolete, or a bicycle makes a car obsolete.
Unless I am missing something, based on the cost of the monthly subscription for Evernote, I could buy a new rocket book every 10 weeks or less.
Just the fact that their subscription is weekly is makes me upset I even watched this video.
When I installed, it said either "Free Trial" or "Subscription". No option for the free plan to start that I saw.
Well, I found the free option after opening 1 last time before uninstalling... I will try it.
Hi brian , what kind of paper I can use when I write use frixion pan ?
Anything a pen writes on
@@BrianAlex thank you
So potential fire risk and no quick file - while I appreciate this it’s missing some very key features of rocketbook unless I’m missing something. The icons at the bottom of the page are essential.
Fortunately there’s an open source JavaScript that lets you print actual rocketbook pages - which would solve the quick icon thing - but the heating up pages I’m not so sure isn’t going to result in someone burning down their house.
Tio mundial la verdad suena tonto pero no me habia dado cuenta. Gracias
Evernote costs $45 a year
EXCELLENT video and info. Thanks so much. You just saved me from buying a Rocketbook!
Simply Not true. The Evernote iOS scanner app Scannable, is far superior than the Android Evernote built in scanner. Android scanner absolutely sucks
On the toaster, seriously?! Watch it!
Yes, the toaster.
@@BrianAlex bit dangerous to put paper on the toaster
I liked the video but I slightly disagree HAHSHHAA
So these reusable notebooks are good cuz u can actually remove the paint from the paper and if you simply heat up the paint it's still there and in a long term it will start getting in the way of your notes
And Idk why on earth but Evernote never had good results with me haahhahahahaha sad story :(
Jajaja! Sigues usando papeles q wey!!
"[…] scanned with your printer" 😂😂😂 Printers are used to print papers. 😂😂😂 Scanners are used to scan stuff! 😁😁😁
So what do you call a device that does both? I call that a (multifunction) printer, too.
Yes, I know what you meant. But it was hilarious nevertheless. 😁
Get a paper route and earn the money to buy a Rocketbook.
This sucks!
