Visioneer has unveiled a cordless mobile scanner that functions without a computer, cables, or drivers and scans directly to an SD card or USB memory drive.

The Visioneer Mobility is a small (5x 7x 30cm) colour scanner that includes a 2GB SD memory card, rechargeable battery and carrying case. No computer or power connection is required to scan. Users simply press the power button, insert SD or USB memory, press the selector button to choose document type and insert a document or photo. Mobility can scan directly to smart phones including Android, Windows and BlackBerry.

Visioneer Mobility instantly digitises documents, photos, plastic ID cards and more into one of three file formats: colour PDF, black and white PDF or colour JPEG. Scanned items can be saved to an SD memory card or a USB flash drive.

After scanning items, users can simply eject the removable memory and insert it into any computer with a SD or USB slot, whether Windows, Mac, or Linux. Visioneer Mobility is recognised as a storage device when attached to a computer, so the scanned files can also be easily copied to the hard drive with an included cable.

Alternately, a smart phone can be attached to the scanner via the USB port and scanned images will be saved to the phone’s storage media. Scanned images can then be shared by the phone’s email or any document share or social media service.

Mobility can also scan documents and wirelessly transfer the scanned JPG files with an optional Eye-Fi card (not included) inserted into your scanner. Eye-Fi is an SDHC memory card that has built-in Wi-Fi. It stores the images on your card and uses your wireless network to effortlessly transfer these images to your computer and over 25 online destinations such as Evernote, Picasa, Facebook, Shutterfly, and MobileMe.
