Conrad from Qipit here, thanks for the post about Qipit. We really appreciate your feedback on our product. Your post gets to the core of why we created the Qipit service.

I would like to answer a few of your questions.

Pricing: You did not find any information on pricing because Qipit is free. There are no set limits on the number of scans you can make from your personal Qipit account.

Storage: We have a storage limitation of 100 documents as an incentive for people to manage there account. You can easily erase older scans or download them to your computer to clear space. Qipit will automatically send a PDF attachment to your email inbox to your verified primary email address. This is a default setting and can be changed by going to My Accounts then Email Settings. Check or uncheck “Send me a PDF copy of my Scan”. Make sure you have verified your email and it is the correct one you want to receive your qipits.

Optical Character Recognition (OCR): Qipit turns camera phones and digital cameras into mobile copy centers, based on patented image processing technologies. It is meant to provide a personal, convenient and portable alternative to bulky and expensive scanners, copy machines and facsimile devices. Qipit does not offer the OCR function because the current state of technology in that industry does not produce results that have enough accuracy for mass market users.

Some of our users use Qipit with a free OCR service called Simple OCR. In order to use Simple OCR you will need the qipit in a jpeg format. Just click the thumbnail in the “My Documents” section, a window will open. Click the larger processed image on the right. It will prompt you to download a jpeg qipit rather than the PDF qipit. Here is a third party Blog post on subject.

Publish or Embed qipits in you blog: On the “My Documents” page, click the link “public”. The link is at the end of the sentence “Make this document public” in the middle section of the page. This will take you to the public view of the page. On the right toward the top, click the “Publish Document” button. This will make your document public so you can share it via URL or use the embed code to place it directly in your blog. The URL and the embed code is located on the right side close to the middle of the screen.

Registration Process: Registering your mobile number with Qipit is optional, but it is necessary for our service to recognize a picture message from a phone, otherwise we would not know what account to place the qipit. In the case of using Shozu, it is not necessary to register your phone, since you already registered it through Shozu. The last page was created to set expectations for users as not all camera phones produce the same quality.

What browser are you using that gave you unstable results in the registration process?
Thanks again for taking the time write about Qipit.
