Online service helps students 'capture' class notes

It used to be a notebook and a sharp pencil were all you needed to take notes in class. But today, many students are turning to their cell phones instead. WKYC reports.

"Instead of scribbling what's on the board or recreating a diagram, students take a picture with their cameraphone and send it to themselves by e-mail, thanks to an online service called "Qipit."

Students can then upload the digital copy of the picture on their computer.

Qipit's Benoit Bergeret says his online company works like a free copy service, turning handwritten or printed documents into high contrast digital copies. "Qipit transforms the photo of the document into a black and white or black and color copy of that document," said Bergeret.

Qipit is like having a handheld scanner, a homework partner who takes notes all from your cell phone.

Qipit lets you store up to 25 documents on their website for free.

You can password protect your files or in the case of a class project give others access to your notes."
