DIY Book Scanner

RE "...how many spam email trying to sign up per week, how many real people..." Since its been said ... not many posts .... I would say not many sign-ups are from real people, who are NOT spammers - is my guess I would estimate an average of around one new member a week: I know as I took ...

Welcome to the forum Bijaydeyp : I am afraid that the forum has been rather quiet recently, but your post has now been viewed close to one hundred times. I think it is generally best to raise separate issues as separate threads, otherwise when people respond a thread can become correspondingly harde...

Have you searched online for something like 'freeware ocr software'? There is some, although I have no personal experience. Some freeware software uses the open source Tesserat ocr engine which had good reviews, although it has been around for a while now. If you only need to ocr simple pages, there...

There is plenty of freeware software that will convert an image file, or series of image files, to PDF...

If you use Windows Irfanview supports that, I think, but I currently use XnView MP which is cross-platform; there are no doubt many other solutions others can suggest.

Very interesting...

Does your friend's tool run with a user interface on Windows, and might he be prepared to modify it to accept sheets scanned either single- or double-sided?

Such a utility would also need to support cropping the resulting two-page scans into separate...

But do either of those utilities support swizzle's sheet-fed scans issue, a quite unusual need?

There are many software renumbering utilities, but I am not aware of one that supports this kind of problem, and doubt if there is one although it might just possibly be worth searching online. Some years ago I scanned a batch of club magazines by removing the staples and then feeding the loose shee...

I would think that other than an intermittent scanner hardware failure such as an unreliable internal contact, the the near-white line must have been due to something quite transparent on the sensor cover... Good quality output that should compress well with Adobe Acrobat 'ClearScan' if that could b...

I would think that a white or light coloured line would likely be caused by something partly transparent, wouldn't it? But from my limited experience with sheet feeder scanners, unwanted lines due to something on the scanner sensor are normally quite dark, which I think should normally make them rea...
