Today's issue of TL NewsWire covers a portable two-in-one scanner (see article below), a legal research service, a cloud document management system, OCR software for Mac and Windows, and a task manager for iPad, iPhone, and Mac. Don't miss the next issue.

A SCANNER THAT GIVES DUPLEX A WHOLE NEW MEANING

The secret to success in the technology world is to solve a problem. Here's one. Mobile scanners can handle documents, but not bound materials. Wand scanners can handle bound materials but not documents. You can "scan" anything by snapping a photo with your smartphone, but positioning your smartphone perfectly wastes time, the lower quality makes optical character recognition more challenging, and you risk looking dorky. A new scanner attempts to solve this problem.

MobileScan Pro 100 … in One Sentence
Shipping in September, Ambir's MobileScan Pro 100 is a portable scanner with document and wand functionality.

The Killer Feature
The MobileScan Pro 100 consist of two components — a dock and a wand scanner with an LCD display. When the scanner is docked, it functions like a typical sheet-fed simplex scanner with speeds of up to 10 pages per minute in black and white (it can also scan in color).

However, you can detach the scanner from the dock, thus transforming it into a wand scanner for bound materials not to mention fabric and other items that you cannot feed.

Other Notable Features
The entire docked unit measures 12.4 x 2 x 1.7 inches and weighs 12.6 ounces. You can power it with the included USB cable or a battery (the battery resides inside the scanner component). The LCD screen enables you to adjust settings without the need for a computer.

The MobileScan Pro 100 scans at 300, 600, or 900 dpi, and saves your documents in JPEG or PDF format via the bundled PageManager 9 software. You can save scans to an attached computer or to the included 4 GB microUSB card that resides inside the scanner. The scanner can encrypt your scans on the microUSB card for security in the event of loss or theft.

What Else Should You Know?
The MobileScan Pro 100 costs $149.95. It works with Windows PCs and Macs. Learn more about MobileScan Pro 100.

A PAPERLESS ECOSYSTEM

Apple has demonstrated that hardware, software, and services work well together when one company creates them all. The media has co-opted the biological term "ecosystem" to describe this business model. Plenty of other opportunities exist for ecosystems. For example, the paperless law office. Imagine one company that provides scanners, software, cloud storage, and even outsourced scanning.

NeatCloud … in One Sentence
Launched this week, The Neat Company's NeatCloud is an online document storage and syncing service that integrates with Neat's scanners, software, and other services.

The Killer Feature
Neat makes two scanners — NeatDesk and NeatReceipts — as well as accompanying NeatDesk software (Mac and PC) for organizing your scanned files. These scanners now integrate with NeatCloud. However, the company made two other announcements that together with the scanners and NeatCloud comprise a paperless ecosystem.

Meet NeatMobile and NeatScan. NeatMobile is a free Android and iPhone app that enables you to scan documents to your NeatCloud account using your smartphone's camera. NeatScan is a bulk scanning service. The company scans your documents into searchable PDF files, and uploads them to your NeatCloud account.

Other Notable Features
In addition to scanning documents to NeatCloud, you can also upload them or email them. NeatCloud syncs your files across all of your registered devices. You can also access your files using any web browser. Up to five people in your office can access your NeatCloud account. You can also share designated files and folders with clients and others.

The desktop and mobile applications resemble an email program with an inbox and folders. The OCR software can place information from business cards and receipts into defined fields. The company offers a human-powered service called NeatVerify for business cards and receipts you scan from your smartphone to ensure accuracy.

What Else Should You Know?
NeatCloud costs $5.99 per month for 1 user, $14.99 per month for 2 users, or $24.99 per month for 5 users. NeatScan costs $19.99 for an envelope of documents (about 50 pages) or $89.99 for a box of documents (about 500 pages). NeatVerify costs $4.99 for 30 verifications per month or $6.99 for 60 verifications per month. Learn more about NeatCloud.
