The handheld Magic Wand Portable Scanner from VuPoint lets you scan anywhere, even if you don't have access to a computer or wall outlet. The scanner operates on 2 easy to find AA batteries and outputs the scanned images to a microSDHC card.
The scanner is perfect for trips to the library as an alternative to photo or handcopying pages, just take out your scanner, slide it across the page and the scanner stores the scan as a standard JPEG image. No more shelling out money for photocopying, just scan and save. Once you get back to your computer, the files can be transferred to your computer by connecting the scanner using the included USB cable and if your scans are text, the images can be converted to editable text using the included OCR software.
