The office anywhere

We already have the computer integrated into smartphones, but the printer, scanner and many other devices are not yet. - Or is it?

If you spend a lot of time away from your regular job, you will notice a lack of some of the tools you have in the office if necessary. That’s why today we brought a couple of proposals here.

This one we have here is a hybrid between the mouse and the scanner. Take advantage of your mouse’s laser sensor to scan documents, photos, or whatever. The operation is very simple: press the button that says ‘scan’, enlarge or reduce the image with the wheel, and you have to hover over what you want to scan. At most, you can capture images of A3 size with a fairly acceptable resolution. In addition, it is able to recognize the text, so it can also be useful for transcribing documents. You can also make some basic corrections on the captured image: color, contrast... and then save it, or share it directly. It is owned by LG and costs 99 euros.

I myself am in favour of printing as few papers as possible, but it is true that sometimes it is essential to have a certain document on paper. Let’s say you want to print from your mobile phone or tablet. There are many applications to detect printers that are on the same wifi network. This, for example, is free and works with those of Lexmark. Already, some printers even allow printing from the cloud. That is, wherever you are, you can send the document to your printer, it is stored in the cloud, and when you return to the office, you will have it waiting there. For now, the large laser printers used in the business world can do this, but we are sure that this option will also reach home printers.
