KOUTE Scanner is a creative concept. What it does is it can
scan any text in a book, newspaper or any other kind of document; convert the
scanned text to digital format and shares in social networking sites like
Facebook, twitter or cloud services like Dropbox. The concept uses the optical character
recognition (OCR) technology to recognize the characters and decode the text to
digital format. You want to update your Facebook status with an interesting
quote in a book or twit it, then place the KOUTE on the text, highlight it with
your fingers and post on Facebook or twitter. It holds micro lens that reflects
the image (text) to the device fixed camera. After highlighting and selecting the
text, all you need to do is to move your fingers across the surface to share
the content on the Internet. This concept is a teamwork design by Xu Tao, Wang
Junfeng, Christian Yang and Gong Yanyan for Orange Labs Beijing and it has won
the 2011 red dot design concept award.
