The scanner is perfect for digitizing books without damaging them. Simply place the book under the camera, open it, and hold the edges of the book with your fingertips. The page will automatically align straight when detected, and your fingers will be cropped out of the final result. In just three seconds, the scanner creates a double-sided PDF file in black and white. It also easily scans plastic cards such as IDs, insurance cards, or credit cards. Additionally, the IRISCan Desk 5 Pro software package includes solutions for efficiently processing business cards as well as recognizing and indexing barcodes.
