Anybody use one of these portable scanners. It can fit in your back pocket and holds up to 10 scans. Looks like it could be good for listings, so we don't have to run back to the office and make copies. Any luck with this? Work good?



Here a what the website says about it below.

Docu Edge is a portable scanner with software that enables a user to capture up to 100 images in internal memory, and then transfer to your computer for Optical character Recognition and reading. This package includes PaperPort software to transfer files to your PC, and Omni Page SE for advanced OCR capability. This system is accessible for use by blind and vision impaired persons, and is perfect for students, lawyers, real estate agents, and other professionals who need a portable scanning solution.


The Docu Edge portable scanner is different from other pen scanners in that it scans a FULL PAGE width and therefore scans the entire page including text and graphics in just 4 seconds. Other pen scanners only scan single lines of text or records handwriting and cannot scan graphics making them much less practical. In comparison, the Docu Edge is truly a breakthrough in technological development because it fully realizes the potential of what other pen size scanners tried to accomplish. The need for convenient out of office scanning is enormous but has not been satisfied because the products to date did not fulfill that need adequately. As the fax evolved from the telex, to successfully satisfy its communication need, the Docu Edge is the practical solution to the pen scanners finally opening the market for wide spread acceptance. The Docu Edge works on batteries, stores up to 100 pages in memory and is only the size of a pen!

Hi,
This seems like a great idea, another option is to have a laptop with portable printer / scanner. This way if you have wireless internet you can setup your office in the clients home and get everything taken care of.

I have not used a personal scanner but it looks like a nice tool to have.

I have used the HP capshare 920 for years. Picked up a carry-on bag for the airport with wheels. It holds my tablet, printer, scanner, paper etc...and your correct, no need to take documents back to office. Altough the County Offices im my area has banned me from using it on the plat maps, they want to charge me for copies!!
