How is techlabel useful for students?
Many of us have come across a scenario in the classroom, where students are presented with different diagrams or pictures in powerpoint presentations. One often finds it difficult to draw and endup taking pictures which never see the light again. This is because of the difficult task of finding the right relevant pictures again during the busy revision. Techlabel makes this easy for you by an easy to use printed QR codes. All you have to do is stick a code wherever necessary and assign it to the picture taken. Next time whenever you read, just point your cellphone at the sticker and it pops up in a Jiff.
How can it benefit readers?
