Time Matters + Android + Free Google ‘Goggles’ = A Very Cool App

New Technology: What is Google Goggles and How It Can Help Add Contacts to Time Matters 

John Papasadora, aka JP, and I attended the recent NAELA conference in Orlando (Disney actually).  JP has a new HTC Smartphone with the  latest  Android Software OS from Google.   We received many ”Wow, That’s Cool’ comments from a demo of  Goggles, a free Google Android app that provides ‘visual search’ capability.

The HTC has a high resolution, autofocus camera that can take pictures of items such as a bar code, wine label, book, cd or a business card.  I like the business card application – just snap a photo, and instantly the image displays, a blue bar scrolls across the image which indicates that Google is processing the card into …name, firm, address, tele, fax, email.  You immediately see how good a job it has done and a single click adds to the contact database.  Since the phone supports Exchange Active Synch and since Time Matters v10 can and should be set to automatically update back and forth with Outlook/Exchange - you now have a new contact record captured in your phone, Outlook and Time Matters.  Very Cool!
