Mobile imaging
09/14/2012 10:30Welcome to part two of my miniscule piece of the internet founded upon new technology. In the previous article I examined Mobile bill pay and the way that it’s going to improve small enterprises activities. Now I’m going to look into another small concept based upon mobile phones that truly takes a step forward in moving all of us towards a new era of technology. Now that I’ve grabbed your attention, the technology I’m writing about is termed Mobile imaging. Not to be mistaken for mobile x-ray systems also referred to as mobile imaging. The actual mobile images I’m talking about makes it possible to basically snap a high caliber snapshot of a document with your own smart phone whose digital cameras have enormously improved in the past few years, and have an mobile app have the ability to read through the document and obtain all of the text information out of it which in my opinion just makes perfect sense. The reasons why I find this so cool is that while your eye or even mine can quickly look at a photograph of a paycheck for example and be able to read the dollar amounts and even whom it is addressed to, a computer system would continue to only see the photo as well, a photograph. If this feels like old news that’s because it actually is in some respect, take your local credit union and bank for example; some credit unions are now allowing you to essentially scan your paycheck with your smart phone and just like that you've made a genuine deposit without the need of handing the actual paycheck to an Atm or bank teller personnel. The amazing aspect is that now mobile imaging technologies are common enough for you to be able to take advantage of yourself. I can think of a couple of really cool ways to use this such as being able to scan something such as your driver’s license having all of the relevant details extracted and employed on an application form or perhaps even sent to your job or wherever you require your data delivered to. This could also be very helpful with storing critical information such as statements from shopping as well as charges for your own records or perhaps for doing all your tax returns at the end of the year.
Never make a return ever again without your sales receipt this technique enables you to always have the information available in a digital format. I can’t begin to tell you how many times I’ve made a serious purchase or any kind of purchase for that matter and messed up my receipt and flipped out. The opportunity to utilize mobile imaging to improve your way of life and make errands like going to a banking institution to deposit a check or even just scanning a sales receipt have gone from in my time, and this kind of shows how old I’ve become, a massive bulky scanning apparatus to nothing more than your smartphone. I’m truly pleased with how much you can get done on something as small as a smart phone nowadays. Mobile imaging along with mobile bill pay makes it not only possible to scan your income check and deposit it into the credit union you can then turn around and turn your smart phone into a cash register and prepare a sale all from the comfort of your house or anywhere you happen to find yourself. Well that just about covers today’s technology article from your favorite computer guru Bob. Click here
