Simply take a photo of a web link and it will open up in your web browser.

No more QR codes needed to follow up on magazine content, posters or anywhere else you see a web link.

Unsatisfied with the current QR code situation SEMNON figured integrating with ubiquitous printed text links would be a more elegant solution. Using a sophisticated OCR text recognition engine PicLink reads out text from photos, identifies web links or email addresses and opens them up in either a web browser or email application.

PicLink is optimized for standard fonts on plain backgrounds.
Zooming in on links will increase the quality of recognition.

PicLink is patent pending.
