| The Czur Book Scanner provides innovative AI Technology for enhanced scanning performance. It will scan all types of documents but is best suited for bound books. Its revolutionary "Book Curve Flattening" technology minimizes damage to the binding while scanning. This technology uses three precise laser lines for incredible scanning accuracy and image clarity. It uses a 14 megapixel camera for superb image quality.<br>
| | |
| <br>
| | |
| Typically, the final output will be a multi-page PDF document, but the Optical Character Recognition software can convert captured JPG images with typed text into editable Word, Excel or searchable PDF formats.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| The software can auto-detect page turns to trigger the scan automatically or a convenient foot pedal can be used to control the triggering of the next scan while keeping your hands free.<br><br>
| |
| Image corrections/adjustments can be made to your scanned images before the final output is created.<br>
| |
| <br>
| |
| <B>NOTE:</B> If the book binding can be removed (spiral, ring, screw, etc.) you will have best results by scanning the pages on our document scanner.<br>
