As my vision has waned and my loathing of paper increases in leaps and bounds, I'm often thinking about ways easier than OCR scanning to get access to digital documents.
I've noticed that much corporate correspondence I get contains QR codes on the document usually near an address. This has sparked my curiosity and made me wonder if we could use those to get information easier than scanning the document with an OCR app. I assume that such QR codes are keys into a private database used by the company making it easier for those who need the information to get it with a SmartPhone or other digital method. But I'm hoping for some sort of confirmation from those of you who have experience with QR codes on documents. I've tried scanning these document codes using an appropriate app on my iPhone but as expected, nothing happens. I'm trying to envision a day when documents could be accessed from a cloud-based server via a simple scan of a QR code using an iPhone. I realize with privacy concerns and all the private companies involved, this access by ordinary citizens is extremely unlikely but a dream has to start somewhere. Thanks for any comments.
