Qipit turns any camera phone into a mobile scanner to convert photographs of documents, like class notes or whiteboards, into easy-to-read PDFs that can be saved online, e-mailed or faxed right from mobile phones to friends who missed class.
Based on advanced, patented image processing technologies developed by Realeyes3D, Qipit provides consumers with convenient communications services that enhance and enable their increasingly mobile lifestyle, according to Barbara Gibson, A Qipit employee.
"I recognized Qipit's value for students out of a real-life experience," said Benoit Bergeret, CEO and president of Qipit, Inc, according to the Web site. "My daughter's friend called in a panic because she had missed class and needed to get a copy of the notes that night. We don't have a scanner, but I let my daughter use Qipit. At that moment I realized how useful Qipit's service could be for students to capture and share written notes without giving up their notebooks."
