"BlackBerry smartphones have served mobile professionals as their mobile email device for years," said James DeBello, president and CEO, Mitek Systems. "Mobile Phax brings a whole new level of utility that can increase productivity by taking advantage of an under-used feature, the camera."

With Mobile Phax, you can now turn a hard copy of a document into a PDF, just as you would with a traditional fax machine or scanner, but on the go. In addition to emailing documents, Mobile Phax allows users to send a document imaged with their phone to any fax machine via popular fax gateway services.

Mobile Phax is easy to use, and consumers and professionals on the go can be sending Phaxes in a few short steps using their BlackBerry smartphones.

To create and send a Phax:

• Press "New" to create a new Phax;
• Take a picture of the document you want to Phax;
• Add a subject and cover page text if you like;
• Add recipients from your contacts list or type in new ones; and
• Hit "send," and your Phax is sent to the recipients as a PDF with a copy to you.

Behind the Scenes:

As photos of each page are taken, they are uploaded to the Mobile Phax servers where our patent pending IMagePROVE(TM) technology automatically crops, rotates and scales the image as if you carefully photocopied each page of a standard 8.5"x11" or A4 document. The cleaned up image is then converted to a PDF for easy emailing as a Phax.

Pricing and Availability

BlackBerry smartphone users can purchase Mobile Phax for $9.99, which includes the capacity for sending up to 50 pages. Recharge with more Phax Packs when you use up the pages.

Additional capacity for 100 or 500 pages can be purchased in Phax Packs for $19.99 or $49.99 respectively.

Mobile Phax is part of Mitek's family of innovative Oomph apps ("Office On My Phone(TM)") that unlock the potential of the millions of mobile phones with cameras sold each year, and includes Mobile Deposit® that allows users to deposit checks via camera-equipped mobile phones, and Mobile Receipt(TM) that enables professionals on the go to create and submit expense reports with receipt photos from their smartphone.
