CZUR Shine Ultra Pro Scanner, 24MP Document Scanner, Max DPI 440, Portable USB Document Camera, A3 Large Format Book Scanner, Adjustable Height, Auto-Flatten & Deskew, Compatible with Windows & Mac OS

I paid £210.98 for a source of light. First thing, the provided CD-ROM didn't work, whirring and grinding something awful as if burning to disc. I removed that and decided on downloading the software from the website. Probably safer. Did that, hooked up the machine, followed the instructions, 'looking for device...' Device could not be located. I followed all the steps to see if it could be found, but no. The scanner felt flimsy to me and... empty. No sound, no nothing. Cold to the touch. Like, you know when something's dead, including hardware, it loses its warmth, its heat, the light goes out, there's nothing there. It was like that. It didn't feel like there was anything in it (or to it). An expensive torch, headlamp for a bridge troll. Of course I'm on a deadline so this was really helpful (SARCASM) - overseas delivery wait and then the faff of the return. Obviously I'm returning it for a refund. I'll replace it with something at a fraction of the price that I bet will work just fine.

This is an excellent scanner and has worked really well. I used it to photograph book covers. Glare can be avoided using natural light and works well in low light conditions. Amazing technology which shapes image. But disappointed that since I bought it 3 months ago the price for this bit of kit has come down by £80. No doubt a bargain for others!

A trial of the equipment shows promise and benefits. Thank you.

Nice product, installation was very simple. Scans have a good quality. For glossy paper an extra sideway light source is better. The software is easy to install an to use. The foot pedal is a nice and very useful extra. To be recommended !

ESCANNER CZUR SHINE 800 A3 es una herramienta bastante competente, especialmente para quienes buscan escanear libros. Aquí te dejo un resumen de lo que puedo decir sobre el escáner y algunas reflexiones sobre sus características: Resumen de puntos clave sobre el CZUR Shine 800 A3: • Diseño eficiente para libros: Este escáner está bien diseñado para libros, y sobre todo, funciona de manera eficiente para capturar documentos en blanco y negro. La facilidad de uso y el diseño de escaneo en un solo paso lo hacen muy conveniente. • Accesorio de pedal: La inclusión del pedal es una ventaja significativa, ya que permite avanzar a la siguiente página sin necesidad de tocar el dispositivo, lo que puede ahorrar tiempo y mejorar la eficiencia del proceso de escaneo. • Cristal para aplanar las páginas: Este es un detalle importante. Aunque el escáner puede captar libros con gran precisión, usar un cristal, no incluido, para aplanar las páginas es esencial, sobre todo si se trata de libros gruesos o con páginas que no se abren completamente. • Calidad de los materiales: El escáner parece estar bien construido, lo cual es importante si vas a hacer uso frecuente del dispositivo, incluye una alfombrilla negra, luz, interruptor para apagarla, posibilidad de subir y bajar el pie de la cámara. • Software sencillo: El software CZUR Shine V2 es fácil de usar y suficiente para tareas básicas de captura de libros. Aunque no tiene IA integrada para mejorar el proceso de escaneo (como algunos modelos más caros). Los ajustes son manuales, pero no es un gran problema para usuarios que buscan sencillez. Incluye OCR. • Falta de IA: No contar con IA en este modelo significa que algunas tareas como la corrección automática de la distorsión de páginas no se pueden hacer automáticamente. Sin embargo, la calidad de las capturas sigue siendo buena para la mayoría de los usuarios no profesionales. El CZUR Shine 800 A3 es excelente para quienes buscan un escáner rápido y eficiente para libros. Si bien es ideal para libros en blanco y negro. Conclusión: Es un escáner bien diseñado, práctico y eficiente para tareas básicas de escaneo de libros, especialmente si te centras en documentos en blanco y negro. Si buscas algo más avanzado en cuanto a funcionalidad (como corrección automática o escaneo de libros con páginas curvas), podrías necesitar considerar otras opciones, pero para el precio y las capacidades, es una opción muy sólida.

I purchased the CZUR Shine Ultra Smart Portable Document Scanner to digitize over a century’s worth of business records, some dating back to 1902, and it has exceeded all my expectations.

Exceptional for Archival Work: The scanner handles delicate, aged documents beautifully, preserving every detail with crisp, high-quality scans. 2. Versatile for Daily Use: Beyond archival work, it’s a fantastic tool for everyday tasks like scanning correspondence, invoices, and records, making it a truly multipurpose device. 3. Ease of Use: The intuitive design and user-friendly software make it easy to operate independently, even for those in remote areas with limited technical support. 4. OCR Feature: The ability to turn scanned documents into searchable text has been a game-changer, saving time on both archival and routine searches. 5. Reliable Delivery: Despite being located in a remote area, the delivery process was seamless, and the product arrived in perfect condition. 6. Compact and Sturdy: The scanner’s compact design and sturdy build fit effortlessly into my workspace without compromising on durability. *Cons:* 1. The software could benefit from minor updates to make advanced features even more intuitive. 2. OCR does not include a lot of Indian languages / scripts *Overall Experience:* The CZUR Shine Ultra Smart Portable Document Scanner is not only helping preserve over a century of historical business records but is also proving to be an essential tool for regular daily tasks.
