The system, currently the subject of a [Kickstarter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jollylook-eye) campaign, brings together the voice recognition and camera of an [iPhone](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digi-swap) with a green-screen lightbox that makes it easy to produce digital versions of printed photos. Printed photos are placed into the lightbox while an iPhone running the companion app is positioned on top. The photo is illuminated using a dozen cool white LED lights. Voice recognition is used to tag images with metadata, so you can 'narrate' metadata while the camera is taking a photo, making it incredibly easy to organize your photos digitally. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 3.3/10 - Popularity: 37% | Activity: 55% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Tech](https://www.trendhunter.com/tech) > [Gadgets](https://www.trendhunter.com/gadgets) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Digitizing Printed Photos:** The QromaScan offers an innovative solution to digitize old printed photos through the integration of an iPhone and lightbox. - **Voice Recognition for Metadata Tagging:** The use of voice recognition to tag images with metadata offers a new and efficient way to organize photos digitally. - **Green-screen Technology for Photo Scanning:** The implementation of green-screen technology in the QromaScan allows for clear and high-quality digital versions of printed photos. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Photography:** The QromaScan offers a new way for photography enthusiasts to digitize their printed photos with ease. - **Technology:** The use of voice recognition and green-screen technology in the QromaScan showcases innovation in the technology industry. - **Personal Organization:** The QromaScan is a disruptive innovation that offers improvements in personal organization through digital photo conversion. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Digital-to-Analog Photo Printers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/jollylook-eye.md) - [App-Connected Upcycled Film Cameras](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/digi-swap.md) - [Sleek Digital Film Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/slide-n-scan.md) - [Vintage Imaging Kits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/pgytech-retrova.md) - [Efficient One-Click Scanning Solutions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/memory-station.md) - [Scanning Software Expansions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/scanning-software1.md) - [Game Digitization Tools](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/chess-scanner.md) - [Dynamic Portable Scanners](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/iochowx1.md) - [Timeless Photo Books](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/photos-by-artkive.md)
