CZUR Portable 12MP Document Scanner, USB Document Camera, Fast Scan 1s/Page, Capture Size A4, OCR Function, Travel-Friendly Mobile Scanner for Mac & Windows, Lens1200 Pro

Pretty neat device
This document scanner fills the gap between just taking pictures with your phone, and a dedicated flatbed scanner (and in some ways may be easier to use than a flatbed).The setup is simple with a camera and a light that fold out from a rotating tower. The tower base contains a USB C port (and some cable channels so it will sit flat with the cord connected), and fits into a notch on the scanning mat. The scanning mat doesn’t lay especially flat out of the box, but it’s mostly just there to provide a neutral background so that is fine, and it is flattening out with use. There is a power button that turns the light on and off. The tower can also be rotated to use the camera as a webcam.You will want to use their software with the device. The camera does not appear as a scanner in Windows (even after installing their software) so you can’t use normal scanning tools. It does appear as a camera, but with the light turned on everything is overexposed.Their software is decent. In a bit of a blast from the past, they include a copy on CD, but I found it easier to just download it. In another somewhat dated feeling maneuver it requires you to enter the long serial number from the base of the unit to license the software. Once that is done things are pretty good. Going into scan mode allows you to quickly and easily scan documents and for single pages the autocrop seems to work well (though it fails to detect orientation from the text, which I thought it was supposed to be able to do). It doesn’t like scanning from books with facing pages, being unable to identify a single page, and with no facing pages option even if a book is small enough to fit in the scan area (see photo). There is an autoscan option that can be useful for flipping though single page content but it won’t give you a chance to scan facing pages or backsides of pages so things can quickly get out of order or lost. Still could be useful for getting trough a bunch of single sided pages quickly.Scan quality looks decent, though is only available in jpg which isn’t great from an archival standpoint.

Great for personal use
I actually work at an archive that uses one of the big fancy scanners from this brand, so I was absolutely thrilled to find one to have for myself. The setup is simple and software is easy to use once you go through it a time or two. The scans are excellent quality and being able to export in searchable PDF format is so helpful for written documents. Overall the OCR is very accurate, but if you have some older pieces that are faded, or some handwritten pieces, it doesn’t get it all perfect (but I feel like that’s reasonable?). This is a very convenient size to have at home – it folds up nicely to store in my desk drawer. Overall so happy with this brand’s products. Excellent value for the capabilities it provides.

Makes scanning documents easy and fast
This is a very helpful tool for archiving or saving lots of information or books, I really lament not having something like this in earlier jobs. Compared to taking pictures to come home and read and type it up, this is miles easier. And a scanner doesn’t necessarily make a PDF without additional software. This comes with both parts- the scanner and the software. You can either install it via the CD if your computer has a drive, or download it. It worked quite well, and the save quality looked pretty good. It’s all readable. You can easily use this to quietly scan a whole book in and bring it home to study with time. Especially with the foot pedal or the autoscan option, you can go quite fast. If you need top notch quality images, you may need to invest in a better setup. But for most uses and reading, this is good enough and quite portable and convenient. It’s very lightweight and pretty easy to carry around with reasonable care to put it safely in your bag. This is a rather handy tool that brings a lot of function.

I have a scanner on my older printer but it sometimes glitches
Not that I need to be able to scan documents daily or anything, but y’know, when you need to scan a document, you need a good scanner. This is a nice little scanner than I can store or put in a small space when not in use – always too much stuff in my house and anytime I can get something that folds down to store, I’m all about that! It scans my page or smaller sized documents just fine and the quality of the scanned document is pretty decent.

Tenía ganas de probar un escaner vertical , ya que me llama la atención el poco espacio que ocupa , por lo que he tenido la oportunidad de probarlo .Éste es un escaner de los llamados veticales , que como se ve en la descripción no ocupa nada de espacio , además se pliega por lo que no ocupa nada de nada .En realidad es una cámara de fotos de 12 megapixeles , con un buen software , que te hace un escaneo en muy poco tiempo , cosa que no pasa con los que son horizontales , que tienes que meter lo que quieras escanear dentro y que tarda bastante mas .Aquí le das al botón y ya tienes echo el escaneo .Me parece que además de tardar poco , para libros por ejemplo es super rapido de escanear , ya que no tienes que andar pasando la pagina sacandolo y volviendolo a meter , aquí solo pasas página y le das al botón .La calidad de las imágenes es muy buena yo diría que mejor que la de los horizontales .La unica pega que le veo es que no trae instrucciones , pero en linea se pueden encontrar tutoriales sin buscarte mucho la vida .Solo por eso le daré mis 4 estrellas .

Veloce, leggero, estremamente portatile. La scansione dei documenti è sicuramente più rapida della all in one che uso in ufficio, inoltre, sulla scrivania, dà un bellissimo tocco di professionalità, ricorda vagamente un video ingranditore, lato software funziona bene, ogni tanto, come tutti, l’ocr fa qualche capriccio, ma nulla di catastrofico, forse la gestione del pdf è migliorabile, anche scegliendo la versione più compressa, occupano più spazio rispetto alle stesse versioni di scanner concorrenti, come sopra, problema risolvibile. La cosa simpatica è poter uscire col portatile in borsa e lo scanner, o comunque farli viaggiare insieme, diventa un ufficio portatile!!!!
