The Apple iPad is an amazing tech tool especially for those of us who are on the go most of our days. I am a real estate professional and I personally spend 90% of my time outside of my office so for me to remain highly productive I must leverage technology. A couple of things that I must have is a device that offers "Instant on with the push of a button with no lengthy boot times and my technology has got to be lightweight and truly portable. What I am going to show you in this video will exceed both of these requirements and I have a feeling your brain will start spinning with ideas and potential uses once you watch the video and it sinks in.
If you already have an Apple iPad you are 80% there already and you just need to pick up an Apple Camera Connection Kit which costs less than $30 and a Visioneer Mobility portable scanner which includes the SD camera card and costs under $200. Watch this short video and you will see how slick these tech tools work together. I showed my office this in action and I blew their minds because we had heard over and over that we couldn't scan into an iPad and as you can see from this video that we can get our scans into our iPad quickly and very easily.
If you picked up an idea from this blog I would love for you to "Like" it, share it and tweet it . Thank You!!! Sam Miller of REMAX Stars Realty 740-397-7800 knoxcountyohio.com
love this thanks for sharing you are The Best!!!
Awesome tip.. I must check if this can be done with the neat scanner as well.
Thanks for sharing
Sam,
Can I transfer regular files on to an SD card then use the system you outlined to upload them to the IPad? Like using a usb thumb drive? I am having trouble figuring out how to transfer files to the IPad from my computer so far the best I've been able to do is to email them to myself then open them on the IPad by opening my email on it then opening the doc in Google Docs, any better suggestion for me? I'm a Realtor in St Louis and I'm trying to get my listing and buyer presentations on the IPad
Thanks a lot Sam, You have given us an edge over our competition again! Harlan
Sam, thank you for the great tip. Getting ready to put it to use.
Hi Sam, absolutely fabulous trick; thanks for taking the time to put together the video. I recently bought a Canon P-215 portable scanner and really like it but unfortunately it lacks the SD card like the Visioneer model you demo'ed with. Any idea about a portable printer you could use to print directly from an Ipad to? My understanding is that this can only be done thru a wireless network but perhaps with the built in hotspot capability of the Ipad 3, this might now be possible?
FABULOUS!
Thanks for sharing, Sam!
I love it! Great job, thanks for sharing, one more must have!
Hi Sam! Thanks for the great demo. Looks really easy. Do you need any special app on the iPad to make this work?
