On Monday, Dacuda launched its PocketScan product to the public. The limited Kickstarter edition of PocketScan is now available on shop.dacuda.com. Until July 19th, a limited amount of PocketScans will be sold at $99 instead of $169 as a special launch promotion.
The public launch happens exactly one year after PocketScan’s successful Kickstarter campaign, which flew past its $50,000goal and raised $542,732 in June 2014. The company has since completed the campaign and shipped PocketScans to thousands of backers worldwide, receiving rave reviews from early customers – nearly 90% of all users would recommend it to their friends. Now, anyone can buy a PocketScan and begin transforming the way they work, study, and create.
Hamish McDonald, a Kickstarter backer of PocketScan, raved about the product:
“This thing is bloody amazing – I use it every day to scan in roughs for my illustrations. The other day I scanned in a recipe, and was stunned to find the Optical Character Recognition hit 100% accuracy. I have never ever seen OCR that good.”
Other Kickstarter backers are just as excited, with additional comments flooding in from PocketScan early adopters: “I like it. I’m in a school of 70 teachers and spreading the word,” “great text recognition – makes studying a lot easier,” “mindblowing product,” and “I am proud to have backed you on Kickstarter.”
Peter Weigand, CEO of Dacuda, announced:
“Many thanks again to thousands of Kickstarter backers, who have helped to make PocketScan a truly unique device and who use it on a daily basis. We are now looking forward to providing PocketScan to anyone who missed our Kickstarter campaign and wants to work smarter and be more creative.”
