Qipit and ShoZu announce on-click mobile document capture, share and store

Camera Phone Users Get the Fastest and Easiest Way to Make and Share Clear Digital Copies—On the Go

Qipit, the first consumer service for turning any written or printed information into a clear, crisp digital copy that can be stored and shared on the go, and ShoZu, the leading free service for quickly and easily accessing, saving and sharing photos, podcasts, videos and music, today announced the integration of qipit™ with ShoZu Share-It™ for camera phone users.

With this partnership, qipit users with smartphones gain the convenience of “one-click” uploading of their pictures to qipit. Using qipit and Share-It together is the fastest and easiest way to capture documents with a camera phone.  Also, the ShoZu uploader eliminates the need to use MMS or mobile email when using qipit from a camera phone and maintains the original image size, ensuring qipit users that their digital copies are of the best possible quality.  And with qipit, ShoZu users can quickly and easily save and share digital copies of documents with their camera phones — a personal handwritten note, class notes, business documents from meetings, information on a bulletin board or a whiteboard, an article in a magazine, or even a recipe — anytime, anywhere.

Qipit users can download the free ShoZu uploader to their camera phone at www.shozu.com/qipit, then select qipit as the “one-click” destination in the Share-It service.  ShoZu users can sign up for qipit at www.qipit.com.

 “Both qipit and ShoZu have been designed to make the life of camera phone users richer and easier,” said Benoit Bergeret, CEO, Realeyes3D, the company behind qipit.  “With this partnership, qipit users get an even more efficient way to bring the information that’s important to them into their personal digital life.  And Shozu users are now able to join in the revolution of mobile document capture, sharing and storing,” said Bergeret.

Realeyes3D and ShoZu share the mission of enhancing the mobile lifestyle of their mass consumer audience.  This partnership brings together the recognized experience and strengths of the two companies in delivering a uniquely convenient service to camera phone users. 

“ShoZu and qipit are natural complements that target the same consumers who use camera phones as part of their daily lifestyle,” said Mark Bole CEO of ShoZu.  “Qipit is about document capture anywhere, any time and ShoZu is about easy and trouble-free sharing and receiving pictures, videos and music, and now digital documents.  Together we make our joint vision of a world of mobility, where the convenience and quality of mobile media capture and sharing are readily available, a reality for all camera phone users,” said Bole.
