Realeyes3d Introduces First Commercial Scan Service For Camera Phones

Paris, France, 15 February, 2005, – Realeyes3D, the pioneer of handwritten messaging and provider of camera-based embedded applications and wireless services for camera phones, today launched Digitizer3 (“Digitizer cubed”), the first camera phone document scanner service that enables high resolution camera phone users to scan and send a copy of any document instantly to a fax machine or to an email account. Just like the name says, Digitizer3 brings the mobile office even closer to “pro” users by resolving more critical business needs from the mobile device.

- A first for camera phones: scan, fax, email or store printed documents from anywhere -

Demonstrated today at the 3GSM World Congress in Cannes, France, the first version of Digitzer3 is available for Series60 smartphone users. Other versions will be released soon, including Windows Mobile Edition as well as clientless versions in order to address the need for a document scanner service with the broadest business user base.

Digitizer3 is especially well suited for business users who can capture and transmit documents while on the go, or who may not have a multi-function printer / scanner nearby, thereby achieving unprecedented mobile productivity for high-value data users. Digitzer3 addresses real business needs and use cases: Purchase orders can be sent without delay from the field, for instant procurement. Claim forms can be sent on the spot for fast processing. Whiteboard meeting notes can be stored for future use, notebooks can be captured to use in professional office applications. Maps or diagrams can be sent from the field to the office, so that work can start back there before the professional gets back to the office. Students can copy pages in reference books for their own use without having to wait in line for the next available copy machine..

Based on patented technologies developed over several years by Realeyes3D , Digitizer3 implements a unique technology mix, to overcome the challenges of real-world optical document acquisition, simply and quickly. Based on its extensive experience in advanced image processing technologies applied to mass-market applications, such as its award winning handwritten messaging suite, Realeyes3D has managed to circumvent regular everyday challenges such as poor lighting or shadows on the original document. The result is a fully automatic user experience, which is the key adoption driver for mass-market mobile applications.

“Digitizer3 concentrates the best of our patented image processing expertise, and is a major step in our quest to put new, high-value image-based usages at the service of camera phone users.” said Benoit Bergeret, CEO. “With Digitizer3, our customers benefit from an integrated solution to achieve the compelling business need to acquire, store and dispatch printed documents, on the fly. Our carrier partners have the opportunity now to deal with one single provider who masters all the levels of the service, from the seamless and comfortable user experience to the underlying patents. As the first commercially available document scanning service for camera phones, Digitizer3 opens up a new value stream for wireless operators who can truly extend and strengthen the mobile office beyond e-mail, for valuable business users”
