These days, gadgets carry many hats, such as a cellphone has multiple functions on it, which it can be used to make calls, take pictures, and surf the Internet etc.
Here comes the KeyScan KS810 keyboard, which looks exactly like a computer QWERTY keyboard. But it’s got something extra i.e it comes with a built-in color scanner. And it’s the first keyboard in the world that has a built-in full-page color scanner.
It’s simply handy for office use, which you have lots of hard-copy documents, or business cards that you’d like to digitize them. Business cards up to the size of 8″x30 can be easily scanned with 5 seconds in gray scale mode. Scanning a full page of document in color mode will take up around 14-15 seconds.
Insert the document that you wanna scan into the feeder of the scanner on this keyboard, and you’ll have options for your next action is to save, fax or copy the scanned document in PDF, word, JPEG or other formats.
The scanner also comes with the IRIS OCR engine, which can recognize characters over images, converts the scanned images into text, and you can edit them too. It’s also bundled with the NoTouch-AutoScan software, which does the scanning automatically for you without needing you to touch any buttons. The KeyScan KS810 keyboard + scanner carries a price tag of $159.
