On the weekend, I returned from Macworld|iWorld. Usually when I go on these sorts of trips, two things happen afterwards: I end up with a stack of receipts that sit around until I get around to/am forced to scan, organize, and categorize them I end up with a stack of business cards that I get […]
Continue readingI take a look at TurboScan, a great iPhone document scanning app.
Continue readingWhen I am doing one-off document scans, I find that using my iPhone is super fast and convenient. As I explained in my iPhone document scanning comparison post, different apps have different strengths, and if I just am doing a quick scan I find that Genius Scan is a great app. Yesterday I had a […]
Continue readingYesterday I was reading a pretty hilarious press release by OfficeDrop about how they’ve been growing like crazy since switching focus from a mail-in scanning service to being focused on mobile apps and the online, connected office.
