Thanks for the tip, Gaye. A little tongue-in-cheek, perhaps, given that you are associated with Polyvision (at least, the web address linked from your name is to the Polyvision website).

The software product you link to costs money ($249) whereas scanR is free. It seems to me that scanR can do what your product can do. So for someone like me who would want to do what I described in my post, where’s the compulsion to buy your software?

Interesting article – You may want to check out Whiteboard Photo. This software will allow you to take a picture of any surface with your digital camera, under any lighting conditions, from any angle, and the result will be a clean, crisp, head-on colour image of your surface material; whiteboard, paper flipchart page, chalkboard, etc. See http://www.polyvision.com/products/wbp.asp for full details. For true collaboration, check out “Thunder”, the *virtual* flipchart system at http://www.polyvision.com/products/thunder.asp; it allows people from anywhere in the world to collaborate online, in real time, using a flipchart-style projected graphical interface.
