Although, I haven’t tried it yet, Scanr seems to be a solution to a truly existing problem: You have a document which you would like to digialize. No scanner around. You take a picture with your mobile phone or your digital camera. And then? You just send it to Scanr via mail and these guys will do the job of turning a static picture into a searchable PDF and send it to you. I am sure that I’ll check that out soon, especially as I am so much travelling. From an abstract standpoint, the web is again the platform. Instead of running your own scanner with ORC software, you let a specialist do it who can achieve a much higher level of precision and scale the activity for the benefit of all involved. Then you just get the result delivered back to you. I like that.
