Here's a new Idea:

Would it be possible to use the Clie Camera on the TJ37 for example as a scanner for business cards? Let me explain: Iagine taking a picture of a business card and having an application that can convert like an OCR program, so that the information on the business card can be inputed into the Clie Datebook.

Does anyone know if this is possible? I have taken pictures of text on receipts, and it is easily readable. This would be a great plus for software and use of the Clie TJ37.

What do you think??

And for those who think the clies' cameras are useless for OCR, read this thread:

I was able to recognize text of a picture I took with my TH55

Thats a really good idea, it would be good to have the program intergrate with other programs too, perhaps Docstogo and other text handling programs. Also the ability to recognise non-printed text, so handwriting would be really good.

Please PM me if anyone makes such a device, especially if it works with the TH55.
