scanR is a service that helps you capture information contained in whiteboards, documents, and business cards. You simply use your cell phone camera or digital camera to take clean photos of whiteboards, paper documents, and business cards. If you use your camera phone, you send the picture via MMS (also called Multimedia Messaging, PIX Messaging, or Picture Mail) or e-mail to scanR.
To send an MMS, take a photo, select the option to send the photo via MMS, address the message to doc@scanR.com for documents, wb@scanR.com for whiteboards, or bc@scanR.com for business cards, and send it. Most phones take less than one minute to upload the image. Larger images always give better results, so set your phone to take the largest possible image (biggest width and height) to send to scanR. If you’re using a digital camera, be sure to save it as a JPEG (.jpg or .jpeg) file and send it via e-mail to scanR.
You will receive via e-mail a PDF file of the photo with the text converted, if possible. scanR currently has a free version, scanR Trial, as well as a premium paid version, scanR Pro. The premium version permits unlimited uploads and removes all advertising from its processed images. scanR Pro offers two plans: unlimited use for $2.99 monthly or $29.90 annually, or 40 uploads for $9.99.
