Scan Anything, Anywhere With The Magic Wand Hand Scanner

When you want to scan a newspaper clipping or family album when visiting relatives you can with the Magic Wand Hand Scanner we found at the Discovery Store online, which has many educational and exciting products. This is just the beginning of the uses with this versatile hand scanner that is light weight and easy to use.

A few years ago my wife purchased a smaller scanner. At the time, it came with a special card we plugged into our PC unit, and then attached the scanner via a cord. This scanner worked for small items like photos and mementoes, and that was about it. The biggest problem was the scanner was attached to our computer, which gave us limited use. Not anymore thanks to the Magic Wand.

Because it is so lightweight you can take it anywhere. This is an advantage my mother did not have when she went to research our genealogy. She copied everything by hand she could and paid to have copies made of the other information. The Magic Wand would have been so useful in copying all the old files and photos of our family history.

One of the advantages of the Magic Wand is that the scanned files are formatted as JPEG's unlike our previous scanner that had to use a certain program to open the files. With the JPEG scans stored on a small Micro SD card we can edit the files in our photo programs, and easily organize and share them with friends and family.

Other advantages of the Magic Wand Hand Scanner are:

* The ability to transfer files via Bluetooth
* Scan files to microSD, which can hold a lot of files
* The scanning width is about the size of a standard piece of copy paper.
* You can scan long lengths because you control the process

We have a standard size Magic Wand Hand Scanner, and there is a micro version available, which is ideal for students and business trips. You can scan in color or black and white, and it is great that no special software is required. On the scanner is a area that reveals battery life, how many scans you've taken, and the resolution.

The potentially uses for the Magic Wand Hand Scanner are only limited to your imagination.
