IRIScan Anywhere 3 helps you get your portable scanning action on

I have read many times that keeping track of my expenses is always a good idea – and that means writing down exactly where every single penny went. Well, that is all nice and good, but it becomes a huge headache when there are so many receipts to get hold of and store away safely somewhere. Don’t you think that life would be a whole lot easier if you could just scan those receipts once and for all? This is where I am going with the $199 IRIScan Anywhere 3.

Being a battery‐powered and cordless portable scanner certainly has its advantages – it is able to let you capture paper documents, receipts, photos and more without having to have a computer in the vicinity. On a full charge, it is able to scan up to a 100 full letter sized pages, regardless of whether it is in color or black and white. Being extremely intuitive to use, the IRIScan Anywhere 3 will let you zip through a sheet of paper in the scanner, where the scanned file will then be saved on the built‐in memory (up to 512MB), although there are two other options available – to send those saved files over to an SD memory card or to a standard USB flash drive. The IRIScan Anywhere 3 will be compatible with both Macs and PCs, where it will be bundled with the Readiris Pro 14 and Cardiris Pro 5 apps.

IRIScan Anywhere 3 saves your receipts and photos without the cables

Portable scanners aren’t quite the novelty they used to be, that much is true. But they’re no less impressive or useful. The latest IRIScan, the Anywhere 3, follows a long tradition of tiny, wireless document and photo scanners with rechargable batteries. It’s capable of saving your files to its internal storage, an SD card or even a standard USB thumbdrive. At $199 the IRIScan Anywhere 3 isn’t any cheaper than its competitors and, as you can see from the photo above, it’s certainly not the smallest portable scanner. But, it does come with some free apps (Readiris Pro and Cardiris Pro) that let you import contact info from business cards into Outlook or Lotus and turn your scanned docs into editable files through OCR.
