Kickstarter of the Week: PocketScan – The World’s Smallest Wireless Scanner

Kickstarter of the Week: PocketScan – The World’s Smallest Wireless Scanner

What if you had a scanner that could fit in your hand and scan and transfer images and text from almost anything to the screen on your smartphone, table or computer. Enter the PocketScan, the world’s smallest wireless scanner.

From the PocketScan Kickstarter site:

PocketScan is the world’s smallest wireless scanner – barely larger than a business card and super light. PocketScan is compact, smart, and incredibly easy to use. It’s the perfect companion on-the-go for your PC, Mac, or iPad.

Scan anything and any size – even things that don’t fit in your old fashioned scanner. Powered by unique and patented real-time image processing software PocketScan allows you to create beautiful scans and turns text and tables magically into editable content.

The PocketScan measures in at around 2-inches tall x 3.75-inches long x 1-inch wide, connects to your mobile device or computer via Bluetooth, and instantly displays whatever you’re scanning on the screen of the connected device.

To scan anything just swipe the scanner back and forth over an image or page, much like you’re painting a wall, or erasing a blackboard. The scanned image shows up instantly on the screen as a scanned image or document. If you scan text, it becomes a Word document, scan a table and you’ve created an Excel document.
