Transparent Rocketbook sheet

  Quick scanning of Bills, Business Cards, Memos. Especially while traveling, being shown a document that can't be taken away, or quick sharing.
  Take this to another level: If the notebook had a clear template, and a decent way to stand up, I wonder if that template could be used as a filter between the camera and a whiteboard. Hand-held cards might be more manageable but would need a way to conveniently carry.
  The next step becomes content recognition (such as for business cards)

  or you can just lay a check or bill on top of the PDF/Rocketbook page.

  You can download a PDF Rocket book page. You could just print one of those on a transparency.

  This is a great idea since one of the ways I plan to use my RocketBook is for as-building an areas that I'm going to remodel. Probably not what your initial use of the transparent sheet, but it would be a great use for the work I do. Most all of these areas I as-built are classified so the RocketBook is the ticket. It would be nice to print off a floor plan and put it under my transparent sheet to mark it up. It would be nice if we could purchase sheets to add to our everlast notebook.

  Yes, but a page protector instead of a sheet. Put in a calendar, lined paper, specialized forms, staff paper for music...

  Transparent sturdy plastic sheet with functionality buttons would also allow the app to be used with bit more advanced gif making, cartoons, misc notes and invoices, clippings from newspaper etc. I could see a ton of uses for that as my "paperless" life seems to still contain surprising amount of papers that come from somewhere else.
  
  Also, for drawing and designing purposes, that would allow using your prefered tools for drawing which - at least to me - is one essential part of sketching

  Like what you're doing and have a problem I'm wondering if you can solve. Many students globally need to highlight in university textbooks.
  How about a clear plastic sheet (similar to overhead projector paper) which could be placed over a page of a textbook for highlights with the FriXion highlighter series without damaging the textbook.
  With the plastic sheet including highlights in place, take a photo with your app which would then be able to pull out the highlighted print text.

  Like this idea a lot! I plan to convert all my paper files and tax documents, etc. to an electronic format using Rocketbook. Ideally, a firm backed page that allows a free document to be slipped underneath it and shows through a transparent film cover that includes the customizable QR code, sorting buttons, and black frame. Designing as a transparent film cover will allow the document to be held flat under the frame as well.

  A page protector that you can put the pre made Rocketbook PDFs in and add to either your Wave or Everlast notebook.

  +1 for a sheet you can lay on top of a book page or handout to annotate or highlight, then a merge functionality in the app that allows you to take two images, line them up and save or collapse as one image.
  
  Also ideal for stacking for animation as another user suggested.

  I like this idea a lot too. As a scientist, I am constantly reading and highlighting papers, textbooks, technical reports, ect. It would be nice to make my notes and highlights without actually having to mark up my papers and books. This would also be a great feature for teachers and students! I approve this idea!

  Yeah! this would be amazing for students who get paper materials passed out to them, they could do whatever is required, then create the backup on their device using Rocketbook so that they would never actually loose the materials!

  I printed a transparency as proof of concept and it works great. I would love to see something like this as a sheet in the back of the
  Everlast. Some problems to look out for is that the size of the border cuts in on most printed pages and the transparency I used has one hell of a glare. This would be an excellent tool to add to the Everlast!

  I thought this was my brilliant idea... Turns out someone has already thought of this...

  Don't bother with a piece of plastic as transparency. Just make that one page in the back a frame with nothing in the middle. That way you have no issues with capturing what's 'through the frame' in the snap. (i.e. further thinking of this, you could use the more sturdy plastic used in the pocketbook cover since a 'picture frame page' with the normal plastic paper would be rathe flimsy...)

  I like Bob's comment about a frame that wouldn't have any plastic on the inside. Another idea, make it slightly larger than and 8.5x11 with white behind the frame and code, so you could scan an entire 8.5x11 sheet inside of it, without risking any being cut off. Things like sign in sheets from meeting tend to have handwriting that goes beyond a standard margin.

  Lol, good thing I finally searched the word "transparency" instead of continuing to suggest it on everyone else's ideas. Clearly I'm not that innovative. :D
  
  I'd love a transparent overlay. I could even save textures and graffiti that I see out in the 'wild'. I already take regular photos of them, but they just sit there in my phone instead of automatically uploading to my style inspiration folder. This would be genius.

  Of course I can make a transparency out of the free templates.
  
  It is one more thing for me to carry around; things fall out of notebooks. I can certainly put something like a receipt on a sheet. If I have to take the time to cut up an 8.5x11 sheet to fit I am not likely to do it. So a clear template sheet with border, bar code, and symbols I could mark (still with frixion), that was bound into the book would be a great addition.
