Scanr rocks!

By Andy Denton on Wednesday, August 23, 2006 - 9:05 pm

I posted about Scanr before, but honestly, I have never used the service - until now. Let me just say, Scanr rocks! I have no idea how they are monetizing their service, because it’s all free. But, such a great idea, in a cool, James Bond kind of way.

Basically, Scanr takes your pictures (via camera or camera phone) of whiteboards, documents, or business cards and converts them to a clear PDF file. Whiteboards become readable PDFs. Documents become searchable PDFs. And business cards are converted into Outlook friendly vCards. How cool!

So, I needed to whipe my whiteboard clean today, but didn’t want to lose the data. So, I grabbed my camera and tested Scanr out for myself.

It went from this…

To this…

Stand and take a bow Scanr! Job well done.
