Technology can really be amazing with just blink of an eye.
I stumble into this new device from Brookstone which is a multichannel
specialty retailer and product development company, a Scanner Mouse with an
integrated scanner that helps saves time and space which delivers a flexible
manner of scanning files.
It works as a regular computer mouse, a point-and-click
computer mouse with a durable dual laser sensor, track wheel, smooth motions
and a comfortable grip. Through the Smart Scan button on the left side of the
mouse, it can scan on photos, artwork or receipts by just gliding the mouse
over a document freely in any pattern then the software will stitch the scanned
images into one on the display.
The images scanned by this Brookstone Scanner Mouse can opt
to save it in variety type of files such as JPEG, TIFF, PNG, BMP, XLS, DOC and
PDF where can be subsequently uploaded to social networking sites like
Facebook, Twitter, Flicker or email. Moreover, LG’s Optical Character
Recognition technology is used to inevitably convert scanned text to editable
Microsoft Word or Excel files. Images and text scanned can also be integrated
with the application Evernote.
The Brookstone Scanner Mouse can scan documents and images
up to 16.5” x 11.7” with a resolution of 320 dpi. The software of the Scanner
Mouse includes functions for editing contrast, brightness, and zooming,
resizing, rotating and cropping images.
This device would truly be handy for those who would prefer
for more space but convenient devices. I would be so much interested to have
one so I could easily modify my pictures and documents by just gliding this
tiny multifunction device.
