Photos are captured using the digital camera where the photo will be saved as a file within the memory of the camera. Photos are now ready for transmission to sub-scribers. It takes only a few minutes from the moment of capturing a photo to transmitting it to subscribers. These scanners can be used also when the photojournalist is equipped with a normal camera rather than a digital camera. Transmitting Photos Photos can be transmitted to subscribers through the available communication lines such as telephone lines.
Transmission can be as soon as possible or it can be programmed to start at a previously set time.
Received photos are indexed and stored automatically in the database. Indices include title, Description, Date, Keywords and others. Fuzzy search is available to overcome dictation problems and the different ways of writing a word in Arabic or English. The photos of each day are kept together under one index page. You can keep the photos on the web for as much time as you want.
