A method and apparatus are provided for capturing paper-based information on a mobile computing device. In one embodiment, the inventive method includes capturing a digital image of the paper-based information, where the digital image comprises text (and in some cases non-text) components of the paper-based information. At least a portion of the paper-based information is then categorized based on the content of the text components and stored accordingly in either a local or remote database.
