A first for camera phones: scan, fax, email or store printed documents from anywhere
Paris, France, 15 February, 2005, - Realeyes3D, the pioneer of handwritten messaging
and provider of camera-based embedded applications and wireless services for camera
phones, today launched Digitizer3 (Digitizer cubed), the first camera phone document
scanner service that enables high resolution camera phone users to scan and send
a copy of any document instantly to a fax machine or to an email account. Just
like the name says, Digitizer3 brings the mobile office even closer to "pro" users
by resolving more critical business needs from the mobile device.
Demonstrated at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, the first version
of Digitzer3 is available for Series60 smartphone users. Other versions will be
released soon, including a Windows Mobile Edition as well as clientless versions
to address the need for a document scanner service with the broadest business
user base.
Digitzer3 is particularly suited to business users, who can now capture and transmit
documents while on the go, or to those who may not have a multi-function printer
/ scanner nearby, thereby achieving unprecedented mobile productivity for high-value
data users. Digitzer3 addresses practical business needs and everyday scenarios.
For example, purchase orders can now be sent immediately from the field, for instant
procurement. Claim forms can be sent on-the-spot for fast processing. Whiteboard
meeting notes can be stored for future use, notebooks can be captured to use in
professional office applications. Maps or diagrams can be sent from the field
to the office, so that work can start back there before the professional gets
back to the office. Students can copy pages in reference books for their own use
without having to wait in line for the next available copy machine.
Based on patented technologies developed over several years by Realeyes3D, Digitizer3
implements a unique technology mix that overcomes the challenges of "real world"
optical document acquisition, simply and quickly. Based on its extensive experience
in advanced image processing technologies applied to mass-market applications,
such as its award winning handwritten messaging suite, Realeyes3D has managed
to circumvent regular everyday challenges such as poor lighting or shadows on
the original document. The result is a fully automatic user experience, which
is the key adoption driver for mass-market mobile applications.
"Digitizer3 concentrates the best of our patented image processing expertise,
and is a major step in our quest to put new, high-value image-based usages at
the service of camera phone users.," said Benoit Bergeret, CEO. "With Digitizer3,
our customers benefit from an integrated solution to achieve the compelling business
need to acquire, store and dispatch printed documents, on the fly. Our carrier
partners have the opportunity now to deal with one single provider who masters
all the levels of the service, from the seamless and comfortable user experience
to the underlying patents. As the first commercially available document scanning
service for camera phones, Digitizer3 opens up a new value stream for wireless
operators who can truly extend and strengthen the mobile office beyond e-mail,
for valuable business users"
