The Document And Object Digitizer

 

You may be familiar with normal flatbed scanners, and may use them on a daily basis to transfer hard copy documents to your computer. However, the Document and Object Digitizer not only can scan documents, but can even scan any kind of object into digital form, which is pretty impressive. The Document and Object Digitizer is a desktop device using USB connection. What makes it special is that it can capture digital images of three dimensional objects that definitely cannot be scanned using traditional flatbed scanners.

After installing the software (compatible with Windows 7, XP and Vista) which is included when you purchase the document and object digitizer, you can control this USB device using your computer. The image sensor built in the 9” long digitizer bar on the top of the Document and Object Digitizer will then capture a digital image of the subject that lies beneath it. The 5 megapixel image is captured in just one second, which is few times faster than any document scanning process using typical scanners.

The Document and Object Digitizer has 10 white LEDs with adjustable brightness control, so that illumination can be provided for optimal exposure. In order to ensure that the results are always fool proof, the digitizer and the subject (document or object) will be aligned on a reversible non-slip guide each time. Besides, when documents are scanned, the Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability of the digitizer can convert the documents into editable text files, which is a great feature.

Another advantage seen in the Document and Object Digitizer is that it doesn’t take up much space, unlike typical scanners. This is because when it is not in use, the scanning head of the device can be folded flat to stay out of the way. As a result, it will not occupy more area than a coffee mug.
