While at Macworld, I ran in to the guys behind the Doxie Go portable scanner. A few weeks later, I had one sitting on my desk from them.
At first, I wasn’t sure how much I’d use the thing. It turns out that not a day goes by without me running something through the machine.
I’m nearing the end of the process in creating an LLC to wrap around the site and some other work I do. It seems that forming an LLC in the state of Tennessee takes roughly one million sheets of paper. Thanks to the Doxie Go, scanning is easy and quick. This device has great battery life, and with the built-in storage, I can scan a bunch of papers and import them all at once.
The software on the Mac will save as a color PDF with OCR support. It’s like magic.
My one gripe is the bag the company ships to hold the Doxie Go while in a backpack, etc. It’s cheap feeling, and seems to be leaving a fine black coating on everything. I can’t imagine that’s good for the scanner, so I’ve been carrying it nestled next to my MacBook Pro in my bag.
