How we choose

A scanner only makes the list if it works with the way Navigator files mail.

Sends to your phone

Wi-Fi or app transfer, so scans land in your camera roll and upload in one tap.

Fast on envelopes

Handles letters, folded bills, and thin statements without jamming.

Stays on the counter

Small enough to live next to the mail pile — not buried in an office closet.

No scanner? No problem.

Navigator works with just your phone camera. Snap a photo and we file it.
