The meeting's over, but the white board is chock full of lists, notes, diagrams, and to-do's you didn't have time to jot down yet. Instead of manually transcribing it all, pull out your cameraphone and snap a picture. Two services - Evernote and qipit - can save and search the text in a photo of a whiteboard. Essentially, they turn your cameraphone into a scanner, copier and even a fax machine.

Popular note-taking application Evernote can capture a wide array of inputs, such as voice notes, web clippings, images, and photos you take with a regular digital camera or a cameraphone. Once you've got a free Evernote account, you can email a cameraphone picture to a supplied address to save the contents of that photo to your Evernote notebook. (Your phone will need email capabilities for this to work. Go to the settings area of your Evernote account to get the email address, and save it to your phone's address book.) Evernote recognizes text in photos - even handwriting. So when you snap a photo of that white board or the back of that napkin, its contents will be searchable within your Evernote notebooks. If you have a BlackBerry, iPhone, Windows Mobile device, or Palm Pre, you don't have to email your photos to get them into Evernote: download a native mobile application instead.

Free service qipit can also help you capture that white board before you leave the conference room. Using either your cameraphone or a regular digital camera, take a photo of anything with text on it. Qipit will perform OCR on the image, and email you back a searchable PDF that you can save or add to any other note-taking system you use. Qipit can also fax documents you scan into it.

The higher quality your camera, the better chances Evernote or qipit will be able to recognize the text in it. To see how well your cameraphone photos will work, go to the qipit web site enter your phone's make and model. Based on the camera's resolution, qipit will tell you whether it can scan images of white boards, handwritten notes, or printed documents with small text on them from your device. For example, an iPhone's built-in camera can scan whiteboards and handwritten notes, but not printed documents.
