ScanR

ScanR is an interesting new service. They have a couple email addresses which you can send images to, either from a cell phone or a digital camera (computer). They then send you an activation code (the first time you use the service). You enter that activation code on their website and set an address to send the results too. They then convert your image into a pdf and do some sort of OCR, making text serachable. The pdf is sent to the email you specify when enter your activation code on the website. The service requires a 1 megapixel phone/camera to work. With my quick test, it seems to work fairly well.

Neat!
