Turn Your Cell Phone into a Portable Scanner
This is such a useful web site - qipit.com. So many times I have been at work doing the following simultaneously:
- looking at a white board covered with notes or diagrams
- attempting to quickly and neatly rewrite everything into my notebook
- swearing
Qipit is a web site that allows you to take a digital picture of white board information, notes, letters, instructions, brochures, and anything similar and send it to the site, which then converts the image to a PDF.
What a time saver! And the service is free. Of course, better quality cameras produce better PDFs. All you need to do is:
1. Register on the web site.
2. Take a picture.
3. Email the picture to copy@qipit.com (or upload the image directly on the site).
4. Wait. Within a few minutes, your picture is a PDF.
So now, as others around me frantically write in their notebooks, I plan to take a picture, stretch my hands behind my head, and laugh at the silliness of all the note taking.
