iPhone therefore I scan

September 30, 2009:Qipit White is a new iPhone application that effectively turns any iPhone into a portable scanner.

It converts the picture captured from the iPhone’s camera, removes unwanted shadows and glare, whitens the background and darkens the writing. The result is a fully transformed ink-on-white digital copy (PDF or JPEG) shareable via email from the iPhone handset. The app is currently available at the Apple App store for $US4.99.

“We designed Qipit White from the ground up, creating a product that better meets the needs of anyone seeking to instantly and clearly capture and transmit the results of their collaborative efforts,” commented Benoit Bergeret, CEO of Qipit.

Qipit White works with any iPhone model, running version 3.0 or higher, regardless of its camera resolution or the presence of an autofocus lens.
