Let those pens sink deeper into your pockets with an App to capture notes and presentations on the go…
What is it, then?
Conferences. Exhibitions. Networking Events. They all promise insight, inspiration and innovation, but more often than not we come away feeling like we’ve missed the most important details from the day. With CamScanner, this feeling could soon vanish.
Imagine a presentation, a document, even a whiteboard full of notes that you’ve got no chance of getting down. Just take a quick photo on your phone and let the App crop, align and enhance it into an exportable PDF or JPG document. You can even annotate the document or send it to colleagues back home should a point require immediate further investigation.
Alternatively, if you’re on a work trip totting up coffee after coffee, then you can use the App to collate your receipts and send them to your expenses and admin teams, rather than returning with an envelope of paper for them to sift through. The same approach can help you easily process client contracts and briefs, assuming you haven’t made the switch to digital signatures yet.
Any thin ice we should know about?
As with most photo-sharing apps, a big issue for CamScanner could be the quality of the initial image. Dependent on the subject matter, it could take a fair amount of shifting, flashing (the camera), zooming and tutting to get the core image right. Thankfully, the consumer reviews seem to ease such concerns, with one recurring theme being the App’s tolerance towards photo quality. Phew.
Should we give it a go?
In short, yes. The concept for the app may sound like it was created by a lazy and hungover student, but its practical uses are undeniable, particularly in a fast-paced networking environment. If you need to work faster and smarter at events, then CamScanner could help you achieve this. You might need to invest in a bigger memory card, though…
