Clean up whtieboard photos..

Scanr takes any photos taken using a mobile phone (or) digital camera of the whiteboard and then cleans it up + provides a more useful JPG. They even have a version that can do some OCR given a good quality photo of a printed-document.

For the last few years, I have been pushing the Agile practice of creating models on the whiteboard - till we start writing code. The only pain was that previously the photos were mostly posted directled as taken by the camera. However, I have always felt the need for a solution that would just clean up these pictures by applying some basic image filters on it.

It seems simple enought to use, but I do not know their business model and how they plan to survive -- so let us hope for the best.
