Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner and Capture-ID from Couragent

The Video of the Demo for the Capture ID and the Flip Pal can be viewed at the end of the article. 


This video is the roll out of the Capture-ID from Couragent, formerly known as Rocky Mountain Ventures. This is the business version of the mobile scanner that is very similar to the standard Flip-Pal Mobile Document Scanner but this has a few new features that will be very useful for the business environment.

The Capture-ID
Patented Technology and designed for simplicity with features and innovations that are not available in the market place.
The Capture-ID is very similar to the Flip-Pal Mobile Scanner but the Capture-ID is more geared toward businesses, hotels, security companies and health care professionals. It comes with wireless interface and the ability to upload to a cloud for instant sharing.
Both of these mobile optical scanners are affordable, precise and fast. They give you the ability to digitally capture any information you may need to have for later use while you are a way from your desk. They are small and run on batteries and do not need to be tethered to the computer to make a scan. This is a major plus when it comes to portable scanning. A scanner is not really very mobile if you have to connect to a computer every time you want to make a scan. The savings in paper and savings due to increased efficiency make the Flip-Pal and the Capture-ID Scanners a bargain.

They both use the patented flip and scan technology that allows you to scan a document in place just by taking the cover off the bottom of the scanner. You can see through from top to bottom so anything you are scanning can be seen easily and scanned with precision.

Flip-Pal for Business

The Capture- ID comes complete with Wi-Fi and the ability to scan to binding technology that allows you to scan the page of a book without getting that wave that makes it impossible to read. The stitching software allows you to also make partial scans of larger objects that will be spliced seamlessly to give you one larger item. It is amazing that size of some of the scans it can make for you. You will see one good example on the Video from the link above as Gordon Nutall shows how it is done by scanning a large sections of a Colorado map.

The technology from the creators of the Flip-Pal Mobile Document Scanner just keeps getting better and better. They have created scanners that can be used by just about anyone because they are so simple and intuitive. All you have to do is supply the items to be scanned and the Flip-Pal or Capture-ID Scanners will do the rest. Be sure to check out all the information you need at the The Flip Pal Web site. You can find answers to all your questions and also shop for your scanner. Order is simple and quick so don't wait order one today so you will have it for the holiday season.

The company sees the Flip-Pal as something photo hobbyists and scrapbookers would appreciate. It can scan photos up to 4 by 6 inches at a resolution of 600 dots per inch. Users can scan photos as they would on a normal flatbed, but they also have the option to remove the lid and bring the scanner to photos — something that’s particularly useful for fragile and older photos. The company calls this technique “flip-and-scan.”

The Capture-ID is larger than the Flip-Pal, and more suited to document scanning. About the size of a netbook, it can scan images up to 5.5 by 7.5 inches, save them in PDF and JPEG formats. A larger version of the device, dubbed the Capture-Page, offers a 8.5-by-11.4-inch scanning area for letter-sized pages. Both devices are capable of scanning close to the binding of a book, a feature dubbed “scan-into-binding” by the company.

All of Rocky Mountain Venture’s products use SD memory cards. They’re also compatible with Eye-Fi SD cards, which add GPS information to photos and allow users to wirelessly sync files to their computers.

Rocky Mountain Ventures is competing with current scanning heavyweights like HP, Epson, and Brother — but its scanners remain unique as mobile solutions. Its innovation have landed two patents, with three more pending.

The Rocky Mountain, Colorado company was founded by entrepreneur Gordon Nuttall in 2009. It has raised $225,000 from Colorado residents.
