Fast, easy to use scanner with great results
Great scanner, here’s what I thought about it broken down by different aspects:-PackagingComes in a nice, sturdy box with a handle so you can easily carry it and pack it up in an organized way when you’re storing it between scanning sessions.-SoftwareThe software it comes with is straightforward and easy to use. I really didn’t even read the manual, I just installed the software, plugged in the scanner, and figured it out and started scanning in like 5 minutes.-FunctionalityHow it works is it comes with a black mat, you put your book/paper on it and select single page mode or book mode. Single page mode scans one object at a time, and it automatically crops the page against the black background; there are some finger tabs for holding pages flat and the scanner software automatically makes them disappear. For book mode, it scans two pages at once, and splits each page into its own separate image. I have attached some example scans from this product, compare it to the setup photo I took with my phone – even though the page isn’t level, it automatically flattens the perceived curve from the camera snapshot, so you don’t need to fiddle with making the pages flat. The cropping and page flattening is great, it just works. When you’re done scanning, you can export all the images as various document types such as word/pdf, or you can leave them as images. Of course, you can choose where to save the base images to help keep organized. My wife also uses this in her classroom as a visual presenter where she can put a page underneath and write on it, and project it in real time on her projector.-QualityI have attached photos for black/white mode, color mode, and a final word document export. I should also mention, the export automatically processes the image to identify words and does a great job. I picked a page with tiny text on a 5″x8″ book and you can see from my attached images that the camera is good enough even for tiny text, and can accurately translate that into a word document. Note that for some glossy pages, the light can reflect back to the camera and reduce quality, but for matte surfaces and “regular” paper, it performs excellent.-SpeedIt comes with a foot clicker so you can fully use your hands to flip and position pages without slowing down. Flip the page, give the camera a second to focus, press the foot clicker and repeat. As you scan, you can see a preview image and it’s pretty apparent if something went wrong, maybe 1 out of 2-300 page flips or so I find I want to do a rescan which is totally fine for me. Depending on how focused I am, I flip a page every 2-4 seconds, on average maybe 15-20 page flips a minute, so that’s around 300 pages in 10 minutes! Which I think is super good.Overall it’s straightforward to use, takes good quality scans, exports files well, and scans through books quickly. I am very satisfied with this purchase and recommend this for anyone who wants good, fast scans.
