  We use the Rocketbook a LOT . . . But I think we're missing a trick within the office environment. We are surrounded by whiteboards and taking photos to 'capture' the notes / ideas isn't the best experience.
  
  Imagine having a graphic / border / grid you could apply to existing whiteboards to bring the power of the RocketBook to the rest of the office.

  Rocketbook magnet! We have magnetic white boards on our walls and movable boards; would be great if we stick a Rocketbook magnet (works with dry erase markers!) on it and snapshot away!! Have you thought about working with Idea Paint?

  My boss gave me one of these today and I immediately fell in love with it and set it up. Right away I started thinking with all the whiteboarding we do in our office and taking pictures of them, how useful this same concept would be on our whiteboards. I'm sure this will be something you guys come out with in the future and the sooner the better. Love this product!

  "White Board Rocket Book" (suggested by John Wyant on 2017-09-08), including upvotes (1) and comments (0), was merged into this suggestion.

  You could have the magnet idea as mentioned above, but maybe rather than a border, there are other magnetic objects/shapes you could put in each corner of the board so the app could easily identify the borders/boundaries.
  so maybe the default QR code magnet that would go on the bottom-left corner of the whiteboard, then 3 more magnets of a unique shape/design to distinguish the corners of what you want to capture.

  I teach high school and a magnet to add to my existing white boards, to an actual Rocket Whiteboard would be amazingly helpful with my students. It would allow us to have group conversations, capture all the information, then turn it into individual notes.

  It would be so awesome if this was done with a vinyl cling that came in the last page. That way I could just stick it to a WHITE board or a FLIP board!

  Rocketbook could produce an Everlast White Board Sheet, either self adhesive, magnetic or just plan sheet you could mount on wall. Can have the icons & grid printed on it just like the Everlast notebook you could take a picture of with the app and upload.

  Love this idea. Get on it or someone will hack it. I think a static film or peelable stickers would do the trick.

  This would be a game changer for schools and Tech Space walls... think SMART Walls. As an educator and designer building two startups in educations and media I'm glad i've found you guys, my classrooms can make use of these Smart Walls. I would suggest changes to Local institutions just for the awesomeness of this. Now, Let me know when they are out. An innovation to note-taking and the use of tech in the classroom while promoting cloud computing. You guys Rock.

  Definitely a +1 on a magnet for my whiteboard in the office that turns it into a RocketPad.

  I love the idea of sending whiteboard shots right to the correct place, but why the need for a sticker? Just add a "whiteboard pic" option to the App. It can first ask "where to?" so you select where the picture goes before it takes it. From there it tags the date, location and labels it a whiteboad pic. I think that would be easier than carrying around a big QR tag (unless you're into that kind of thing, wink, wink).

  I'd like a Rocketbook Whiteboard that I could magnetically attach to my fridge. We write our grocery list on our current fridge whiteboard, so it would be handy to be able to take a high-quality scan of it on the way out the door to the grocery store, or to e-mail to my wife if she went to the store and forgot to write down the list.

  I thought the same thing Mr. Chen! Finding a way to get it to where it would be able to be used with smartboards.

  Rocket book whiteboard on a roll ?
  This would help me no end.

  Just got my Rocketbook today. I was in a meeting with an long time user. After filling a couple whiteboards with notes, we both agree we need a way to scan the white board with your app. Either a permanent label we apply to the corner of the white board or a 1 time use post-it note with QR code and destination.

  Just got mine today and definitely would endorse this idea!

  I have a small whiteboard at my desk. Could I just print out a sample Rocket Book page, cut out the QR code, and stick it in the lower right corner? The edges of the whiteboard are grey/silver though - not black - will it still recognise the edges? Maybe the app needs a "whiteboard mode" or "custom border mode" for non-black borders?
  
  Or perhaps a different QR code that tells the app it's scanning a whiteboard so it behaves accordingly.
  
  In short, Me too! This!! +1!!!

  You can print off some of the PDF samples and laminate them or put them in a sheet protector.. Instant white board.

  I think the whiteboard option is awesome!! I would love to have some for my Elem teachers and students! I would suggest the name of "Rocketboard" :)

  Rocketboard is a great idea, you can use the name :) The QR code and the strip of icons on the bottom could be sold in a roll with peel and stick adhesive and stuck permanently to the whiteboards around my office. I don't need fancy reusable vinyl or magnets although I wouldn't turn them down. Keep up the good work.

  Something we stick on the wall for off-site meetings and can wipe clean and move around would be great.

  I was going to suggest the the same idea as Steven (OP) and also was thinking about the post-it suggestion (Mike mentions on 30 Apr)
  
  Having a sicker for whiteboards would be great especially if combined with a post-it system for use when in meetings/out of the office.
  
  QR sticker/post-it for whiteboard with app setting for whiteboard destination and some kind of 'x' or marker sticker/post-it for corners to help the app frame the whiteboard/area.

  Yes please! It might be hard to get my entire office to add this everywhere, so QR code stickers or other permanent options would not work. But, even just allowing users to take photos in the app without the code + border and sending it to one of their custom destinations would save me a bunch of time and make me further committed to the Rocketbook ecosystem!

  Hell yeah! I actually nearly got this to work! I photocopied and enlarged the QR code and put a page border around part of my whiteboard - it worked in that the app camera could recognize the board as a page but it wouldn’t take an image of it - this would be a Killer App for me!

  I'm a long-time RocketBook user and looked at the ThinkBoard X on KickStarter. Could the Rocketbook software be improved to send to a greater number of destinations (maybe 30)? I understand that for the Everlast/Wave notebooks, you specify destinations on the page, but for the Mini (and the ThinkBoard X), this is done in the app. I would buy the ThinkBoard X if I could set up a separate destination folder for each member of my team of 15 people, plus have email/DropBox/etc options for me.

  Rocketbook magnet: easy to make out of one of your rocketbook pages. All it seems to need is the QR code, just glue stick a magnet to the back.

  I definitely +1 this suggestion. I tried to make it work with black borders and enlarged images if the QR code and icons. Thought for sure I had it, but it still wouldn't scan. I would LOVE to be able to do this with my whiteboard!

  This is a BRILLIANT suggestion! My organization does lots of whiteboarding of workflows, parking lot ideas, etc. that we just photograph and later must transcribe to a more suitable format

  Yes, having a magnet to put on a whiteboard would be such a great solution to capture those notes brainstormed on a whiteboard.

  Can’t wait to order a RocketBoard: easy to take with me to use during trainings in companies. Have been looking for bigger sizes than A4, more the size of A3/flipchart. When and where can we order and please ship to Belgium... :-)

  I was just out working at HQ and we had two white baords side by side and where taking photos. Id buy a rocket white baords for an easel in a heart beat!

  Let's see - sticking anything to white boards might work, but is cumbersome and inconvenient unless it's in the own office. Sizes are different, and other rectangular sheets, such as projections, would still not work. Might be better to get there either all electronically (masking in frame+QR code into the picture coming from the camera), or all optically, with a tiny 1:1 telescope that places a transparent mask with all the info in some intermediate image plane.

  This would be a game changer and really should be done as soon as possible - I know it won't sell many more of your books perhaps!
  
  Having the "frame" in app rather than physical would allow anything to be sent - even photos of defective doors or leaky pipes - which would then be sendable to wherever you want once the photo had been taken. It's not just whiteboards. It's screenshots at conferences; it's concept models made by architects; it's the latest artwork from your child; ...

  Any plans to add OCR to the beacons product? It would be fantastic if it could not only scan the board but also translate the text like the notebooks.
