At CES last week, Pathway Innovations and Technologies demonstrated their new HoverCam Office Cameras , a cloud-based mobile scanning solution that combines the functions of an office desktop scanner with a video conferencing camera and a document camera
Its document capture, it does not get much sexier than the stream lined desktop scanner, and the single button push scan
NSi AutoStore , for example, can securely deliver scanned documents directly into a Google Docs account from a broad range of capture devices (desktop scanners, MFPs and more)
To help me with this project, Canon sent me 2 scanners to test, a P-215 portable scanner, and a DR-C125 desktop scanner. I originally thought that given the age and condition of the paper and the contents, I’d have to use a flatbed scanner and painstakingly prepare and scan 1 page at a time of thousands
With the help of ubiquitous capture devices such as inexpensive desktop scanners, lightweight departmental network scanners , multi-function peripherals or mobile devices such as iPhone , users can now truly be involved in the lifecycle of information from document capture to disposition
Universal Document Capture introduces support for a multitude of capture devices, including high speed scanners, MFPs, desktop scanners, workgroup scanners , Fax, or even mobile devices such as iPhone
Auto Feeder Some desktop scanners have only a flatbed, but most scanners have an auto feeder
You might think that would be easy, but for years this was a challenge on desktop scanners (least of all a camera phone!)
The new camera is advanced enough that it can actually replace some low end desktop scanners. And document editing and capture continues to get better (but still not a replacement for a PC)
