Qipit Inc. launches Qipit White Enabling 50 million iPhone Users to Clearly and Instantly Capture White Board Notes from the Conference Room to the Classroom

News Facts:

Qipit White makes any whiteboard an electronic whiteboard by turning your iPhone into a portable copy machine.

Just point at the whiteboard, paper board, flipchart or other large-format information, and take a photo of it. What is created is more than just a picture, it is an easy to read, share and print digital copy.

Qipit White, the first iPhone application that effectively turns any iPhone into a portable scanner for capturing white board notes from the conference room to the classroom.

Qipit White is the first of a series of smartphone applications from Qipit, Inc., the inventors of the mobile copy industry. Qipit White instantly converts the hard-to-read picture captured from the iPhone’s camera, removes unwanted shadows and glare, whitens the background and darkens the writing. The result is a fully transformed ink-on-white digital copy (PDF or JPEG) shareable via email right from the iPhone handset. The app is currently available at the Apple App store (http://itunes.com/app/white) for $4.99.

Qipit White lets anyone with an iPhone share that written image with colleagues, other students or parents, and friends, and save it for future reference.

The copy of the image remains on the phone where it can be uploaded to a computer for future reference, shared via email, as a PDF or JPEG file or it can be seamlessly uploaded to popular web services such as Evernote, Facebook and Twitpic.

Qipit White works with any iPhone model, running version 3.0 or higher, regardless of its camera resolution or the presence of an autofocus lens.

Immediacy and High Quality Image Capture Make Qipit White The Collaborator’s Choice

Unlike other applications that provide low-quality copies that can be difficult to read or print, Qipit White produces ultra sharp and clear color copies of most whiteboard photos. The application automatically corrects the photo from the camera, increasing contrast, removing unwanted shadows and glare, and whitening the background to create a professional looking, shareable and printable result (Read more on the Qipit transformation process). With its patented mobile copy engine that transforms photos directly on the handset, Qipit White provides immediate results so users can quickly and effectively turn their collaboration into actions.
