Do you have stacks of magazines to get through?

Do you have a file of ripped out pages that you hope to read through one day?

Do you save articles of crafts you want to do or recipes you want to try, parenting tips you can't live with out?

Well, if you are like me, you need SCANALOG. I know my reviews always sound like an infomercial but roll with me here.

From their Site - SCANALOG is a CD-ROM software system to store, catalog and retrieve your favorite articles from magazines and catalogs. The articles can be scanned from the magazine or saved from the magazine website.

SCANALOG was designed to help you organize your clippings. SCANALOG comes with Scantabs that you can keep with you as you read your magazines. See something you like, just flag it with one of the conveniently labeled tabs. Each tab is labeled with a category listed in scanalog so you know exactly where you want to store it.

There are 11 categories and 102 subcategories included in SCANALOG.

The 11 Categories Are:

Home Decoration/Gardening/Home Maintenance/Food & Wine/Travel/Antiques & Collectibles/Parenting/Crafts/Health & Beauty/Career/My Spirit

Don't remember where you put an article? Simple search it out by the tags you inserted when you entered it.

How to Scan an article:
  • Place the article on your scanner (oh yeah, BTW...you need a scanner)
  • Click scan
  • Icon box appears and you select the part of the article you want to use as your thumbnail
  • Name your article and put in your keywords
  • Save
Not a reader of magazines? How about books?

You can keep a running list of information about books you are interested in reading in the future.
  • Click on books
  • Add
  • Enter book information (author, title, price, etc)
  • Save
Who needs SCANALOG? Everyone. You can save articles for everyone in your family.

Love fashion? Turn your clippings into a digital look book.

Brides can store pictures of dresses, table settings, vacation ideas, flower arrangements, favors and more.

Homeschoolers, teachers and hands on parents will be able to catalog all their educational articles into one place.

DIY'ers can save all the projects they are interested in.

The possibilities are endless.

Sounds easy right? It is.

  29. I can see myself using the website to answer questions and get technical support if I need it. There's also some great ideas for using the software that I didn't think of at first.

    It would be great if the site also had a user comment section where users could submit ideas and new uses for the software.

    ReplyDelete
  39. Oh, where do I begin? First of all, I can't believe that all of the categories are interests of mine. Home Decoration, Gardening, Crafts...etc. Love the fact that Scanalog is like a gift from the heavens for me...I'm both a huge magazine collector for all the projects in my "someday" dreams, and I am a packrat. This would solve so many problems!

    I love to do crafts and I love to cook. I especially have a lot of recipes I have saved from my father and mother written on scraps of paper. Scanlog would help me to save those recipes and crafts for years and access them at the touch of a button.

  80. Scanalog would be a godsend in our house - which we affectionately call: "Clutter City". My husband and I have so many interests and hobbies that the paper materials involved just pile up and are in wobbly disorganzed stacks all over the house! With the Scanalog we could finally get organized and reclaim our space!

    ReplyDelete
  81. What we use the Scaalog for? Let me count the ways! ORGANIZE: recipes, garden plans, individual projects. clipped articles, poetry, home decorating ideas and paint chips, hobby projects, photographs, correspondences, To-Do lists, vacation ideas - just to name a few! Like you say, the possibilities are endless!

    ReplyDelete
