Snail Mail As E-Mail

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the one-remove dept.

techcon writes "An Australian startup Planetwide has launched an interesting product called Scan Me. The idea is simple, you redirect your snail mail to them and they scan your physical mail and email it all to you as a text searchable PDF. Targeted at the world wide traveller, it also looks like a good way to help prevent identity theft and getting nasty white powder in the mail."

    Can you also convert your mail to the original letters again?

      That would only create a copy of the original letter ;-)
