scanR: convert photos of whiteboards and documents to searchable PDF files
filed in Uncategorized on Mar.24, 2008
now this is an extreamly interesting idea. scanR takes a photo you send
it, and turns it into a searchable PDF file. I cant try this on a camera phone,
as i dont have the 1Mpixel camera required, but i will try this with a proper
camera soon and see how well it works. Very interesting and cool!

I came across this the other day (www.clicktoscan.com), it’s currently in Beta format, seems to work well, might be worth a look.
The service does exactly the same as ScanR with the added bonus of doing it all from your mobile phone handset. The image seems to be sharper as well. It’s ideal for when you’re on the move and need to fax or send an important document.
You can send scans directly to email addresses (no need for a PC) and it even lets you convert pictures taken on a camera phone into .pdf – pretty cool. Also great for getting a copy of notes on a whiteboard.
