hi Dave Taylor here again and this time
0:05
I want to talk to you about something
0:06
called a doxy go this is a little
0:09
portable scanner it's really cool and
0:12
you can see it's small lightweight
0:14
rechargeable um has rechargeable
0:16
batteries in it and why would you want a
0:18
portable scanner to scan things so
0:21
business cards a classic use of a
0:23
scanner and go ahead and put it
0:26
in and it will scan that so now I could
0:28
ostensibly even give the card back to
0:30
the person if you have a child like I
0:33
have children that do fabulous art I can
0:35
actually save their artwork cuz truth be
0:38
told I don't really like having drawers
0:41
full of paper but having it online it's
0:43
easier to share with people it's an easy
0:45
quick scan and now the question is
0:48
where' those go so the device has
0:51
built-in memory but it also can put it
0:53
onto an SD card you might be able to see
0:55
that in the back so what I'm going to do
0:57
is I'm going to turn this off and since
0:59
I have an SD card reader on my computer
1:01
makes it actually pretty easy I'm going
1:03
to take the card out and I'm going to
1:06
put it into my Mac let's move this stuff
1:07
out of the way and if we switch to the
1:10
Mac for just a second you'll see I'm
1:12
running the doxy app and that's a free
1:15
download and when I put the card in it
1:18
has within a second or two it will
1:21
actually see now I can choose import and
1:23
it will actually bring the images in and
1:26
this of course is something I could do
1:27
at night after an entire day of being at
1:30
the office scanning documents or being
1:32
at school if I'm in college this might
1:34
be a great way to always make sure I
1:35
have class notes here's the illustration
1:38
so I can use the rotation options I
1:41
don't know why I always rotate in the
1:43
wrong direction um click it choose save
1:47
save it as a PNG file coloring done that
1:52
was easy notice also there's the send
1:54
button and that lets me send it to
1:56
things like um ioto or Picassa or I can
2:00
automatically drop it into a message and
2:02
then finally there's also Cloud which I
2:04
haven't configured but it lets you do
2:06
things like save things up to something
2:08
like Dropbox so really really cool
2:11
device and at $199 for a 600 DPI
2:15
rechargeable battery scanning system
2:18
that you can absolutely carry with you
2:20
it's a really good deal and for a lot of
2:22
people this is something I would
2:23
encourage you to check out so this is
2:25
Dave Taylor and I'll see you in my next
