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!

I recently purchased this scanner on Amazon and test scanned a few flat pages (printed documents, some with images, some without images) to make sure it could work for my needs. I downloaded the software from the website. Installation was quick and easy. Everything is pretty self explanatory: just hit Scan and it’ll take you to the document camera screen where you can position the page as you need it and adjust the color and type of scan. Scanning can be pretty quick. It won’t close the screen automatically or notify you when it’s done, so you have to pay attention to an icon on the left of the screen, then hit Back when you are done scanning. When you get back to the main page, you’ll select the icon on the right of the scan you want to look at/ work with. On the left you can save the file in different formats. I’m very happy with the Searchable PDF function, but impressed by how it saves the documents to Word. I had several pages with images and text above/ in between some drawings. When I saved these as a Searchable PDF, some of the text in between drawings didn’t get recognized. However, when I saved the same document to Word, all of the text got picked up and put into text boxes. That being said, I had scanned another page that was a printout of a document I had typed up in Word. I had assumed the scanner software would be able to replicate the page as it is when it saved it as a Word doc, but the margins were off and the text font and size were different. You win some, you lose some. All in all, very happy with this scanner and confident it will work for my needs.

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. Now that the archival project is nearing completion, I’ve also started using it for regular, day-to-day tasks—and it performs flawlessly in both roles. *Pros:* 1. 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. Its versatility, ease of use, and reliable delivery make it a standout product, especially for users in remote locations. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a dependable, multifunctional scanner. Whether for archival work or day-to-day use, it’s a fantastic investment!

Scanner excelente. Atendeu minhas expactativas. Consigo digitalizar livros e documentos para uso pessoal: com precisão e eficiência. Antes de conprar, fiz uma longa pesquisa e cheguei a conclusão de este modelo era o ideal para mim: e valeu a pena. Por meio de um PDF-editável, consigo localizar pavravras-chave, termos específicos que me ajudam nos estudos. Recomendo muito.

I bought this unit to scan some large ledger books for a company history project. The results have been great and I give the scanner 5 stars for quality, ease of use, and speed. The included software also provides some useful shortcuts for tidying up and editing multiple pages.
