In case you're a spy who uses a mobile camera to capture an image of a secret document—or maybe just a business traveler trying to keep track of receipts—these two services can help you convert those pictures into a different format. Snap a picture of a document or magazine or newspaper story, and e-mail it from your phone to either service. The pictures will be converted to usable PDF or text copies that can get to online. Qipit is free, and stores up to 100 pages. ScanR has a limited free trial, with more elaborate paid options, including optical character recognition and converting the document into text.
