Product Category: Imaging Software
Manufacturer: WizCode
Where to Buy: Mobihand [affiliate]
Price: $14.95USD. A fully-functioning 30-day trial version is available.
System Requirements: WM5 or above; Works with touch or non-touchscreen phones; resolutions from 240x240 to 800x480. Requires phone/pda to have built-in camera and have approximately 5Mb of free RAM to run.
Specifications: Uses approximately 1.5Mb of memory.
Pros:
- Simple to use, very finger friendly;
- Can produce single or multipage PDFs;
- Works in colour or b&w (best results are in b&w, depending upon light levels).
Cons:
- Output is dependent upon the quality of the photo images -- there is no image enhancement capability built into the application;
- Only produces an image-imbedded PDF -- no OCR to translate content into text.
Summary: This is my kind of application. It does one simple thing, it does it well, and it's simple and easy to use. Wizcode's Photocopy Mobile turns your phone into a mobile photocopier/fax/scanner with the ability to convert an image taken with the camera into an emailable PDF document. Now, you can easily share those wonderful whiteboard ideas with the rest of the workshop, or send in that latest signed contract to head office, right from your phone! Read more...
