Hands up if you use Evernote? Now keep it up if you have a NFC phone? Didn’t think so… BUT, that’s all going to change over the next 12-18 months, with hopefully (but don’t hold your breath) the iPhone 5 getting NFC and more and more Android devices to be rolling them out.
Either way, this is a great new startup called “Tuchanote” who recently won Evernote’s Developer Competition for a $50,000 prize! Tuchanote is actually super simple, it takes NFC chips and produces them as “stickers” along with deploying an app to link the NFC stickers to your Evernote notes when you scan them.
Why this is so brilliant, is because you can now leave digital notes on/in/at any physical location or on any object you like. You place the sticker on, scan the NFC chip with your phone, and then link it via the app, to your Evernote notes.
Although NFC Chips are probably easier to “scan” (as they’re not scanned
) than QR-codes and QR-codes tend to grow in size related to the amount of info coded in them,, the question is the price & availability of those stickers. Where can you get those stickers & what’s the pricing going to be like.
Hello Kalle,
Currently you can order your first sticker for free directly on the App, all you have to do is share your idea on how you plan to use the sticker.
You can also buy some through the App or on Touchanote.com. The price is 3$ for 1 sticker, 10$ for 10 and 20$ for 25 with free worldwide shipping.
This is awesome but couldn’t image recognition replace the need for rfid tags? Take a photo of the image and go from there.
