“Entry level”?!! Absolute rubbish! This is far better than any “entry level” book scanner that I’ve used. I’ve scanned many books with this. I quickly discovered using the yellow thumb things to keep the pages flat has its uses. The best solution to keeping the pages flat is to buy a sheet of clear acrylic at least A3 size and 5 or 6mm thick. When you do this the overhead LEDs will be reflected back into the camera. Turn the overhead lamp off and use the other lamp at the back. Even though you can see the lamp reflected in the sheet, this is because of the camera angle I took the photo at. The overhead camera cannot see the lamps. Also, in the first picture I had the “thin” part of the book propped up by a smaller book. But I learned, by the time I’d reached the second half, there is no need to support the thinner side, just let the acrylic sheet lie across the pages at an angle, it doesn’t affect the scanning or the OCR process.
The book in the photos was 757 pages long. It took around 50 minutes to scan it then another 10 minutes to convert the scans into a searchable PDF file, sized at 33MB.
A word of warning if you use a MacBook. Often, when scanning a book with the scanner attached to a MacBook, the scanning process gets “stuck” early on. Even though when you press the button, it appears to take the picture and casts the 3 horizontal red lines, the software doesn’t resolve what the scanner has sent it into an image. Consequently, you can waste a lot of time if you have to re-scan the book, or constantly check that the page images have been imported into the CZUR software. Therefore, if you have one available, I suggest using a Windows PC for the scanning then copy the PDF to you MacBook – for the contents to be indexed by Spotlight.
Lo adquir con dos finalidades. La primera escanear partes de libros de texto para ayudar a los alumnos que no pueden adquirir el libro. El resultado ha sido muy bueno, incluso las conversiones a Word que necesitan retoques pero que las encuentro aceptables. Claro siempre depende del estado del libro.
La segunda finalidad era utilizarlo como pizarra de calidad en mis clases online y tengo que decir que si la conexin a internet es buena funciona con ZOOM perfectamente y me ayuda mucho. Las luces de columna funcionan perfectamente para evitar los reflejos que son inevitables con la luz superior.
Klasse Scanner, der auf Anhieb funktionierte und in der Leistung berzeugt. Genau das, was ich zum schnellen Scannen unterschiedlicher Vorlagen gesucht habe. Leider hohes Preissegment. Schneller Versand. Nicht dem Verkufer, aber Amazon mu ich den miserablen Versand anlasten: Aufgeschlitze Seite des Originalkartons (Cuttermesser o..; es fehlte aber nichts), Originalkarton auen mit Vogeldreck verschmutzt, viel zu groe Umverpackung, in der der Originalkarton beim Transport hin- und her schleudern konnte wegen nur einer einzigen lcherlichen Papier”polsterung”. Da kann ich einfach keine 5 Gesamtsterne geben, auch wenn ich das gerne gewollt htte.
It certainly works well on books. A tip or two: (1) For thick books, let the thin end lie on other books so as to keep it as flat as possible; nevertheless, the curved pages handling works well. (2) If you can, do the OCR bit with Acrobat rather than CZUR; by retaining the scanned JPGs and tipping them into Acrobat Pro.
So, Amazon messed up my original order by shipping the wrong item. I decided to order direct from the UK supplier (D&H) and am so glad I did. I’ve been looking for something like this for years.
The kit is so easy to set up – literally just clip on the rear LEDs and it’s good to go!
The software took about 3 mins to figure out. There’s a page for settings and viewing scanned images and another page for actually scanning. Easy peasy.
The speed of scanning is just extraordinary. I’ve scanned 4 volumes, totally about 3000 pages, in about 4 hours. I’m sure that, with practice, it’ll be even quicker next time. My biggest mistake was not to trust the software more; where pages were curved, I tried to over-compensate with the ‘finger cots’ which allow you to hold down the side of the page, and I moved my fingers quite a few times during scanning. In many cases, all I needed to do was just rest the cots on the side of the page to apply very light pressure (without my finger in the cot) and the page scanned perfectly. The books that I was scanning are so thick and small and the pages so thin (bible paper) I knew it would be a challenge, but the scanner did an exceptional job.
This device is a real game changer for me.
Its great. It serves my purpose of digitising my library.
However, Software is not up to mark. Often there is a mistake while splitting the page. And it can’t perform OCR on Indian Vernaculars (but can on Cantonese, Mandarin and other Asian scripts). How sad is that?
It will not produce a PDF as polished as a sheet-feed scanner will, but to use a sheet-feeder you have to dismantle your book.
Will cope with sizes up to A3 (= 2 x A4 side by side) happily, probably larger especially if used in good natural light.
Ideally you need clear desk space of around 4 square feet for the set-up.
Colour illustrations do not reproduce all that well, specially if on shiny paper. Greyscale or B&W is usually OK, but I would not say this scanner was really suitable for publications with a lot of graphics. Dark text on any kind of paper, including shiny, scans adequately, though you need to experiment with the lighting options for best results, again this improves with experience.
This product is swesome, its package is so nice and safe for the item. A must buy for someone looking for book scanner. Amazon service is much better than i expected may be the best of its kind.
It detects when you turn the page, so if you tell it to, you can just turn the page and it will photograph that page etc etc. Actually I found it easier to use the hand operated press button, and quicker (because the automatic system pauses a moment to be sure you have finished turning the page. Scanning a 780 page (yes, 780 pages) book took just an hour. (The right-hand pages of the big book lay flat so I didn’t need my right hand to hold the page down; with a less compliant book I would probably have used the automatic system.
The bundled OCR software is fine, but I am using my Abbyy, which is a bit more sophisticated.
Haven’t found out what the microphone is for, yet.
TIP 1: watch the youtube videos on it. CZUR will find them.
TIP 2: my computer wouldn’t find the CZUR scanner at first. Turned out I had “Don’t use camera” in some arcane setting. (It’s a desktop so there is no camera,) A help guide in the CZUR website told me about that and how to alter it.
Did I mention this: I love it !
Scans books very well. If it’s only photos or flat documents you want to scan, there are cheaper alternatives.
