Today’s Portable World

With technology changing at an unstoppable pace, one area that’s benefiting is the size and portability of technological devices. Cell phones have gotten smaller, computers are becoming more and more portable, and televisions are being designed lighter and lighter. One other area where technology is making its impact felt is the scanning market. Here’s how.

Scanners are becoming more and more portable throughout the years, due to better technology (smaller parts, etc.). The first scanners on the market were bulky devices that were placed alongside desktop computers. If you didn’t have ample desk space, forget about using a scanner. In fact, there would usually be one scanner in the office sitting next to the receptionist or secretary. If you would need to scan a document, you would have to interrupt the receptionist’s work and her to scan the page.

With the advent of smaller and more portable scanners, that has all changed. Today’s compact scanners can fit just about anywhere on the desk. With a slim size of no larger than a three-whole puncher, it can easily fit on the side of your laptop. And with its lightweight (less than 12 ounces), you can carry if from one desk to another. In other words, no longer do you have to bother the receptionist to scan your documents. Merely ask to borrow it and you’ll be able to scan all of your documents in your own privacy.

And with the advent of the portable scanner, you no longer have to wait to scan all of your documents when you return home from a business trip. Now, you can take the portable scanner with you when traveling on business, as it fits in easily in your laptop computer’s briefcase. That means you can scan those important documents on the road without worrying about losing any important papers. And your boss no longer has to wait until your return to the office to review any important contracts or agreements, as you can email the scanned documents in a matter of seconds. And since it has its own power source (uses a simple USB cable), you’ll have no excuse not to bring it along on your next business trip.

The portable scanner brings portability to your life.

A portable scanner is lightweight enough to move from desk to desk so that only two or three scanners are needed for a medium-sized office environment.

No More Lost Pictures with the Portable Scanner

If you’re one of those people who’ve placed all of your old photos in shoeboxes and don’t know where you’ve even placed the boxes, you’re not alone. Only a minority of people organize and place their family photos into easy-to-manage photo albums. There is a solution to this never-ending problem – the portable scanner.

The portable scanner is a great device that can organize your family snapshots so that you’ll never have to worry again where you placed that hard to find picture. Basically, this smart device acts like your photo-shop assistant, without having to pay an assistant. Here’s how it works. You simply insert a photo into the portable scanner and within seconds you get a digitized version of the original photo. It achieves this by utilizing optical character recognition (OCR) technology to digitally record the hard copy image. Then the image is uploaded to your computer that you can then save in a JPG or any other image type that you like. Now, when you go searching for your high school pictures to show your friends and family, simply send them a copy via email and they will have their very own copy within seconds.

Once you’ve uploaded your pictures on to the computer, you can then organize the photos per subject or per year. Let’s say, for example, that you uploaded all of your old school pictures on to your computer by using the portable scanner. Your next step would be to organize all of the pictures per school year in a different file. In essence, you would then have a digital album per school year, for all to see.

Another big plus of using a portable scanner to scan old photos is that you’ll have a digitally produced copy for eternity. That’s extremely important, especially if you have older photos that are starting to yellow or crumble. By scanning your photos, you preserve memories for you and your kids and for generations to come.

The portable scanner is also small enough that you can take with you in just about every part of your house that you find photos in. It simply needs a USB cable to hook up with your laptop computer, and within seconds, you’ll have a digital reproduction for eternity.

The portable scanner makes lasting memories, each and every scan.

It achieves this feat through the use of optical character recognition (OCR) technology, which basically digitalizes hard copy data and images.

Basically, with the portable scanner, you’ll never have to worry about losing another piece of paper on the road – you’ll already have it archived onto your computer even before you return to the office.

Besides its life-saving technology, the portable scanner is just that – portable. With its pint size dimensions (no bigger than an oversized stapler) and lightweight (weighs less than 12 ounces), it’s absolutely no bother to take on the road with you. Simply fit it into your briefcase with your laptop. And it doesn’t even require its own power source, which makes it event that much easier to take along. It only needs a regular USB cable, much like a digital camera.
