New Qipit White Turns Any iPhone Into Portable Scanner

SAN FRANCISCO-(Business Wire)-September 29, 2009 - Qipit, Inc. announced today the availability of Qipit White, the first iPhone application that effectively turns any iPhone into a portable scanner for capturing white board notes from the boardroom, the classroom or anywhere.

Qipit White instantly converts the hard-to-read picture captured from the iPhone’s camera, removes unwanted shadows and glare, whitens the background and darkens the writing. The result is a fully transformed ink-on-white digital copy (PDF or JPEG) shareable via email right from the iPhone handset. The app is currently available at the Apple App store (http://itunes.com/apps/white) for $4.99.

Qipit White lets anyone with an iPhone share that written image with colleagues, other students or parents, and friends, and save it for future reference.

“We designed Qipit White from the ground up, creating a product that better meets the needs of anyone seeking to instantly and clearly capture and transmit the results of their collaborative efforts,” commented Benoit Bergeret, CEO of Qipit, Inc. “It’s an affordable application that costs less than the price of two cups of coffee.”

How Qipit White Works

Just like with the regular free Qipit service, iPhone users who have downloaded the Qipit White application simply point their iPhone at any whiteboard, paperboard, flipchart or anything else that contains large-size information they wish to capture. Within seconds, Qipit White automatically cleans up the image and provides a crisp and clean, ink-on-white copy for the user to review. The copy of the image remains on the phone where it can be uploaded to a computer for future reference or shared via email, as a PDF or JPEG file.

Qipit White works with any iPhone model, running version 3.0 or higher, regardless of its camera resolution or the presence of an autofocus lens.

Immediacy and High Quality Image Capture Make Qipit White
The Collaborator’s Choice

Unlike other applications that provide low-quality copies that can be difficult to read or print, Qipit White produces ultra sharp and clear color copies of most whiteboard photos. The application automatically corrects the photo from the camera, increasing contrast, removing unwanted shadows and glare, and whitening the background to create a professional looking, shareable and printable result.

With its patented mobile copy engine that transforms photos directly on the handset, Qipit White provides immediate results so users can quickly and effectively turn their collaboration into actions.
