Brandon Watts, evangelist at scanR sent me an email introducing their product…
scanR allows you to scan, copy, and fax with your digital camera or camera phone. This could be a handy thing…
Check out the short YouTube video that shows how to use scanR to grab a snapshot of a whiteboard…
From Brandon's email:
“The service essentially allows you to scan, copy, and fax with your digital camera or camera phone, making it the ultimate tool for mobile use. The idea is that you take a picture of a document, whiteboard, or business card (currently in beta), e-mail the picture to them, and then scanR does OCR on the file and in turn sends you a clean and legible PDF version of the document. The whole process only takes about a minute or two, and the content of the PDF file that is delivered to you is tagged and easily searchable. This provides a great way to keep digital copies of important documents, and it's truly like having a FedEx Kinko's with you all of the time.”
