Capture on the go with SkyDesk PhotoNote App
Fuji Xerox has announced the launch of a Smartphone photo digitisation app for its cloud CRM and collaboration platform targeting small and medium sized businesses (SMBs), SkyDesk.
It says the PhotoNote app for iOS and Android will digitise handwritten characters using proprietary character-recognition technology. All users need to do is to take a photo of what they want to digitise by using a smartphone or digital camera, and then upload the photo to the cloud.
The app will automatically conduct image processing and Optical Character Recognition (OCR) conversion. The images are then stored as digital information in a highly visible format with text data attached.
In addition to the recorded time/date and tags, text information within an image digitised by OCR is automatically attached to the original image, to help with search.
The app will come in both free and paid versions with subscription plans for 6 months priced at $A16.50, $SGD21 (ex GST ) per user. The paid version will come with extra features such as the ability to convert tabular forms printed on paper to Microsoft Excel . The paid version will also come with extra storage (whereas the free plan stores a maximum of 100 records).
