ET 5800Epson Australia is poised to launch its new app for the wildly popular and award-winning FastFoto FF-680W WiFi photo scanner. It will be available for download for free and will add significant capabilities and functionality to the FastFoto with a host of new features that lets users create, edit and share their memories.

Developed by Epson, the FastFoto App once installed on a tablet or smartphone, empowers users to not only be able to scan photos directly but also edit, share and even create stories with them. As part of creating a story, the app includes a feature enabling multiple scanned photos to be ‘joined’, giving the user the ability to add a voice commentary for each photo. This means users will be able to chronologically join a series of images while at the same time overlaying commentary to create an entire story.

You can also add background music from either the supplied styles or from your own library to add that special and individual touch whilst text can be easily added to photos. This new app also allows easy uploading of photos and stories to social media.

Epson Australia’s GM marketing Bruce Bealby said, “The new FastFoto app will take what you can do with FastFoto to a whole new level. You will be able to seamlessly integrate with mobile devices to not only save and share photos, but create stories and share them too. Once you use the app there really will be no turning back, it’s that good.”

The Wi-Fi enabled FastFoto FF-680W High-Speed Photo and Document Scanning System is the world’s fastest personal photo scanner, scanning thousands of photos – as fast as one photo per second at 300 dpi at up to 36 photos per batch.

The FF-680W scanner offers worry-free scanning for a variety of media types and sizes, including postcards, panoramic photos up to 36 inches and instant photos as well as convenient photo restoration, editing and smart file organisation tools.

FastFoto appFamilies can scan, restore and organise collections of photos for quick and easy sharing, archiving and enlargements with the new FF-680W scanner and with the Easy Auto-Upload feature in PC mode, the FastFoto scanner software makes it simple to share images to cloud services such as Dropbox® and Google Drive™.

Featuring Epson ScanSmart software, the FastFoto FF-680W scanner is also a powerful document scanner. Using the intuitive software users can easily scan, organise, email and store important contracts, receipts, documents and files. In addition, you can easily edit documents and save time with automatic file naming and use powerful productivity tools such as the built-in Nuance® OmniPage Optical Character Recognition (OCR) which enables users to create searchable PDFs, plus editable Word and Excel® files.
