"3's X-Series phones are a glimpse today of the future for all of
us. Each X-Series phone has a powerful camera and a flat-rate data
plan, so people can freely capture and share the moments that are
important to them. Now with scanR, 3's X-Series phones serve as mobile
document hubs, which allow users to capture and share their paper
documents," said Rudy Ruano, CEO of scanR.
scanR is the easiest way to convert paper into digital
information, so people can store, share and search it. With scanR,
people can capture the information from handwritten notes, printed
documents, business cards and more, with their camera phones. To use
scanR, just snap a photo and send it to scanR. The photo is converted
into a clear document, with the keywords and contact information
extracted from the text, and returned as a searchable PDF or vCard
file. scanR will even synchronize your information with popular
applications such as Facebook, Salesforce and Plaxo.
Director and General Manager of 3's Handset and Application team
Frank Meehan says, "The 3 Group is proud to offer a mobile application
which allows customers to turn paperwork into useful digital
information in a few simple steps. Customers now have the ability to
use their camera phones to scan, copy and fax in creative ways, which
are not only fun but incredibly useful."
