Google PhotoScan: Turn Printed Photos Into Digital Images Using Your Phone Camera

This is a clever idea from Google.

Jason Snell’s take:

The results I got were… only okay. Some photos were distorted, and none of them looked particularly great. In other words, you get what you pay for — this is free and easy and better than never getting old photos in digital form, but it’s also not going to give you the quality of scanning items yourself or sending prints, slides, and film to a photo-scanning service.
