| scanR Enables Mobile Devices to Scan, Copy and Fax scanR, Inc. has launched the first service that enables camera phones and digital cameras to scan, copy and fax. Using scanR is as simple as taking a photo with a camera phone or digital camera and emailing it to scanR. The service cleans photos of whiteboards and documents, automatically tags the keywords, and delivers the results as a PDF file in email or as a fax. scanR uses advanced image processing technology to overcome common digital imaging challenges such as low lighting, shadows, blurring, and skewed orientation in order to provide consistently high-quality results in a wide range of conditions. This allows people to get an exact digital copy of their information, quickly and easily, using the devices they already carry. scanR helps people save information digitally and allows them to easily find the information using desktop search tools, such a Google Desktop or Microsoft Windows Vista. Each document sent to scanR is tagged with the keywords extracted from the text on the paper. This enables easy organization of documents scanned with scanR and quick searches for the original on the user's desktop or related information from the web. scanR lets people email digital copies or send faxes while travelling or at home, without seeking and paying for a copy center. write your comments about the article :: © 2006 Computing News :: home page |
