Great feature.  Do you have plans to allow us to capture serial/model numbers and have this data transfer to HB?  Even better, would be Optical Character Recognition of name plates which capture this data a bit more seamlessly.  Entering in this data is very time consuming.

  Hi Dan,

  We are not looking at adding OCR to the app at this time, mainly because we have found it not to be the most reliable thing in the world. One incorrect character and you can completely miss your notifications for recalls, etc. from HomeBinder.

  We also agree that manually entering everything yourself is very time-consuming, but we have found an alternate strategy that seems to work pretty well: ask the client to do it. You are essentially "gifting" them this great service, all they have to do is a small amount of work to take advantage of it. You can even set up a maintenance reminder in the HomeBinder system to remind them to take care of it. Take a look at the blog post we have here with details on how to do that.
