I’ve got to make one of these. It would be perfect for use with Evernote which is my extra brain for remembering stuff. Evernote can already convert text in any photo you upload, for example business card, or a shot of the white board at a meeting, and return it to your Evernote DB with the text scanned so it is searchable. This adds another dimension to that idea. Way Cool.
Cardboard Scandock turns your iPhone into a document scanner: “
High tech meets low tech with this simple corrugated cardboard stand, that makes capturing document images with your iPhone a snap. If you’ve ever attempted to scan a document by just holding up your phone, you’ll know that a blurry image is often the result. This simple stand created by University of Cincinnati DAAP student Kyle A Koch, is an elegant and green solution that holds both the phone and document in the perfect position to get a sharp capture. The stand comes flat packed for just $16 through the Ponoko design store.
Of course if you insist on something a bit more high tech, you could always make a scanner using Lego.
