Document scanning with a mobile phone

We have launched a new module within our overall offering for document processing. The need and use case is straight-forward: You have a piece of paper ("document"), and you want to send it to someone far away. Your option today is to find a fax machine, or a scanner+email access.

Thanks to our new module, you can now use your camera phone to do the job. Simply take a picture of the document, send it to your account to create a readable / printable version, and forward it to the intended recipient. In other words, your cell phone now becomes a scanner / fax machine.

The image processing part in all of this is important, since most photographs of documents are not easily readable, and are certainly not printable.

Now you have one more reason to sign up for our service!
