A method and apparatus are provided for capturing paper-based information
on a mobile computing device. In one embodiment, the inventive method
includes capturing a digital image of the paper-based information, where
the digital image comprises text (and in some cases non-text) components
of the paper-based information. At least a portion of the paper-based
information is then categorized based on the content of the text
components and stored accordingly in either a local or remote database.
