+* Introduction
+
+When collecting information using copy/paste, it would be useful if one could
+stay in the application where things are copied instead of constantly switching
+between Emacs and the other application to pase each item separately.
+
+Further it would be great if Emacs could detect clipboard entries and adjust
them
+to the format one would like to save them.
+
+This is what clipboard-collector is about. Here is an example for collecting
+contact information from a website for org capture (contact info translated to
+be used as property drawer items).
