The secret is that you mail the notebooks back to them and they digitize the contents for you.
- ejr 12y agoWhat happens if the book is lost in transit? Isn't that worse than "forget them forever when I leave it in a dusty box somewhere"?
- dm2 12y agoThat would be good statistic for them to list: "1 out of every XX,XXX gets lost in transit". They might use a priority shipping method and pre-addressed box to help prevent that kind of incident. I personally don't really have a use for the service. A document scanner allows me to use whatever paper I want and scan whatever I want. It is an interesting idea though if there is a market for this type of service. I was trying to think of a way to embed a scanner into the front cover of a notebook (with replaceable pages) but it just didn't seem practical, a flatbed or feed scanner works about as good as you're going to get. Plus, these days you can just take a picture with your phone and be done with it. I do that for whiteboards for content I want to save before erasing them.
- ejr 12y agoThat's a good idea. A friend of mine created a little wooden stand and holder for his phone on his desk. Once he's done with a piece, he puts the phone in the holder, swings it around and takes a picture on a delay so he has time to hold the pages down. I believe he also has markings on the desk so he can position his papers/books correctly. Of course, this might be way more trouble than most people are willing to go through.
- yitchelle 12y agoI don't understand the attraction to this service. For me, scanning the notebooks would be good if there is some way of intelligently cataloging it, and make it searchable. I avoid writing stuff in my notebook that I know I need to find in the future. I put into in an email and search it via Google search. Drawings and sketches are different categories. I would scan then and attached it to an email. The message of the email would provide context. I think what Mod is providing is only half of the solution. At the moment, it is the same as "only to forget them forever when I leave it in a dusty box somewhere", only digitally. For me at least.
