At least ten times faster
The museum I volunteer at purchased a Viisan K21 scanner. It was so much faster that we opted to get a second Viisan scanner. The S21 is an even better fit for some of the projects we need to do, like digitizing early newspapers. The K21 was at least ten times faster than what we were doing. The other volunteer using the S21 said it was even quicker than the K21 and could cover larger documents. He said that it scans as fast as you can put the piece of paper down, remove it, and put another one down. Another plus. It doesn’t have the scanning sound that our Epson scanner makes. The other volunteers in the work area couldn’t handle the noise; we didn’t scan when they were there. So now, we can scan without driving others crazy.We initially had problems getting the software to execute properly. I emailed the Viisan help desk and quickly got a response that they had just published a new version. Once we downloaded that, the S21 worked well. The image quality is good.Some hints. You can only use one Viisan scanner at a time. There are some limits on the file naming pattern you can use, but we easily get around by renaming with free IrfanView software.A friend who has many family history papers got one based on our recommendation, and she loves it. Her great-grandson helped her set it up, and they did a whole archive box in an afternoon.If you have a lot of papers or photographs you wish to digitize, the S21 is well-worth purchasing. We started working on eight full file drawers of papers and wondered if we would ever get them done. But, with the Viisan scanners, we’ll be done in a couple of months, not the years we were looking at.

Handles large size texts
It seems to work although installing and functioning took some time. Advice from help desk did not help much and the user guide is limited.

Surprising quality and ease
The quality and ease of using this product was surprising. I frequently scan newspaper articles, and they rarely fit on a flatbed scanner. Thus, I had to use Photoshop to stitch together 2-3 scans of the articles, which took considerable time. This scanner will handle A2 size paper, which is big enough to capture all major newspapers (e.g. Wall Street Journal), is easy and fast to use, and delivers crisp clear optics. It even has its own source of lighting. Excellent buy, and I rarely take the time time to rate products.

The resolution is awful
I bought this to scan vintage catalogs and the resolution is really terrible. In addition the arm has a tendency to fall just a bit and it takes things out of square. The most annoying thing is there is no catalog or ownerâs manual to tell you how to adjust the brightness saturation.etc. There is a place to do that but no clue how to make it work. There is also several resolution adjustments but with trial and error I am still not getting it. I have thrown away the packaging otherwise I works return this turkey

It’s pretty good but not great
Honestly, I expected this scanner to be better than it is. Specifically, the tiny light embedded in the overhead arm is laughable. It does not have enough light for a great image, and it is horrible if you are scanning any glossy surface. I did purchase two lights to augment the existing scanner light. The software works ok. The book flattening works if the page is mainly flat, to begin with, but not so well with a bowed page. The software is easy to work with and intuitive. I haven’t needed to contact any help or support, so I can’t comment on that. With all this said, I will continue to use this scanner without expecting flatbed results.

I was pleasantly surprised
I was searching for something to replace my old 11×17 flatbed scanner that is no longer supported. I had my doubts when ordering this product, but I was pleasantly surprised. You have to be very careful about making sure you have good, even lighting, and you have to be careful about aligning the sheets consistently, but the results are quite acceptable. This would be a good product for someone trying to scan large maps.I am going to buy a plexiglass sheet to hold the papers flat, but that’s the only change I’d make.

Not Worth It
I’ve used various strategies to capture documents and books and I was initially attracted by the 23MP density and large-format scanning. Sadly, the device will not render text with sufficient clarity to take advantage of the sensor size and produce good OCR results; rather, I could get better OCR using my phone or my M4/3 camera. I will be returning this scanner, as it fails at the one job for which I really needed a dedicated device:It’s unsuitable for digitizing my personal library of textbooks and literature. If the device’s light is off and I use an oblique source of illumination, there is too much noise in the image, not enough contrast. If I increase the ambient lighting or use device’s light, I get washout and/or glare that makes texts unreadable. Something in the automatic light sensing and exposure-adjustment either needs refinement or the components are simply not up the taskâthere is nothing in the software that is available to the user to manually adjust things like focus or exposure.

Highly recommend! Great digital archival tool.
Highly recommend. – Not a traditional “scanner” but an overhead high resolution photography ‘scanning’ device. You need some basic lighting (I used GSKAIWEN LED Video Light Battery Powered Photography Light Portable Handheld Wands — available on Amazon) knowledge and equipment. The lighting on the scanner itself doesn’t work well for most items – especially anything reflective.Overall I scanned newspapers, family scrapbooks, Bibles, objects of all manner (childhood toys, awards, diplomas, etc), and am extremely pleased. – Quite high resolution, and can easily zoom in and read every word of a document.My use has been mainly digital archival of family mementos for long-term digital safe storage.
Los documentos que escanee , asà como libros , revistas y otros , no salÃan las imágenes con la calidad que mencionan en la descripción . SalÃan pixeleadas con colores , y muy borrosas . –
Qué los resultados no fueròn los que ofrecieròn.

Spijitig dat de vertikale arm niet kan verlengd worden. Is nodig als het boek wat groot is. Oplossing is er de scanner op een verhoogje zetten.

Its fine but why do they make the software so complicated. It may be wonderful for a very busy teacher. But for me its a nightmare. Today in 2021 your software engineers should be so very good that you make things work without US having to think too much. I do feel you should ask some old man how HE wants to use this lovely tool and how he wants the software to work. And then it would be so easy for the new generations coming on. The technology in the hard ware may be 21st/22nd cent. The software is way back when we had green screens, can you remember that???”Add a photo or videoShoppers find images and videos more helpful than text alone.” it says in question two. Well when I have worked out the software I will happily submit one.For the hardware I would place at least three to four and a half stars. One star is for software.
