Unlock the information captured in images using sophisticated image recognition technology

Thanks to Kooaba Paperboy, you simply take a photograph of a newspaper article, an advertisement or a poster with your mobile phone, and in a moment you get related content or even access to an exclusive contest. Numerous publishing companies, both domestic and abroad, are already using Paperboy. The second Kooaba product, called Déjà-Vu, followed last August. Any mobile phone user who wants to remember a special CD, DVD or even a bottle of wine simply takes a snapshot of it; these photos are automatically assigned keywords and archived.
