Scanny 7: Scanning on the go

Hyderabad: Portronics has launched the latest in its family of portable scanners — Scanny 7.

It’s a handy tool for those who need to scan photos, documents, receipts, news clips while travelling.

The cordless device  stores the images on a microSD card and gives you the choice of saving the image as a picture (jpeg) or document (PDF) at resolutions from 300 to 1200 dots per inch. A USB port enables you to transfer the scans to phone, laptop or thumb-drive.

For those who might have used earlier models, there is a difference  between this one and Scanny 6 — you don’t have to drag the scanner across the document — always dicey to do it at constant speed!

Here, it automatically pulls your sheet and makes a digital copy in seconds. Cost? Rs 7,499.
