Product Description

You simply cannot beat your smartphone and a Scanner Bin with a flatbed scanner. Relative to popular flatbed scanners, this scanner has a much higher resolution and a more realistic color rendering. DPI is equal to 1200. The flatbed scanner adds a great deal of hazardous e-waste to your local landfill. What's more, it takes a fraction of the time to scan at a fraction of the cost.
Getting your smartphone to scan is a pain. The background provides a contrasting color for better edge detection and auto cropping. The scanner regulates the lighting and ensures a stable and balanced position while you scan with your smartphone (with multiple adjustment points). This paper can be flattened with the Flatsheet that's included.
You can use it to scan photographs, receipts, letters, notes, artwork, fragile documents, etc. It's also used by visually impaired people as a method of learning without actually being on the computer. In the case that you are not scanning, turn the unit on its side so you can use it as a desk-side bin for throwing the items in for scanning
To ensure even illumination of your scanned documents, take advantage of the very bright LEDs and high color rendering index (CRI) provided in this scanner. Designed for scanning documents, it has an area of 9" by 13", LEDs powered by USB port (5VDC), folds up, and weighs 12 ounces. No batteries required. Easily adjust the distance of a device from a scanning platform, the alignment position of a device, and the angle at which LED lighting shines.
With popular FREE document scanners like Adobe Scan, Scanbot, Evernote Scannable, CamScanner, and Prizmo Go, you can scan documents easily

Questions & Answers

What type of lighting does it have? Will you need your phone's flash to illuminate the scene?

The box does not have any lighting. For the camera, a small hole is provided in the top of the box. If the flash has to fit into the hole, it may need to be enlarged. After aligning your cell camera, a couple strips are displayed on the camera to act as a guide for aligning it at a later time. It's difficult to get good alignment for the most part. To ensure good lighting, I purchased a couple of small LED lights to install on top of the box. We painted the bottom of the table with flat black spray paint to avoid

Is there a limit to the size of a page you can scan with this device?

Currently, there is a scanning platform of In terms of sizes, it is approximately 5" wide and 14" long, but depending on the smartphone you have to make sure what the camera specs are for the stand height you are using to capture the full picture.

Is it possible to set up the scanner bin and then collapse it ?

As long as you do both once or twice, it is fairly easy to set up and collapse. But if you must set it up and collapse frequently and you care about the integrity of the box, it is not so simple.

The dimensions of the actual object are what?

Its base is 11 in by 14 in (that is the size you can photograph), and the height of the camera (phone) is about 12 in. I've been copying it a lot lately and it seems to work well

The scanner is ideal for scanning photographs
5/5

With this device I can digitize all of my photos from years past without using a scanner or Because the reflections in the pictures prevented me from using my iPhone, I was unable to take I am able to copy photos quickly without introducing any reflections to my photos with the Scanner Bin. I think this is an excellent deal for those who are short on time.

The BEST Scanner Solution on the Market! This is the ultimate gadget in a world of high tech gadgets What a great way to use card board boxes! Basically I wanted a scanner in order to do a cookbook project Did not want anything too big and out of the ordinary I don't want to be bother with an expensive or bulky printer, since I already have a printer in another room
5/5

Besides, I don't like STANDING over it while it labors to read Thanks to this invention, I was able to find my way! On my phone, I downloaded the Adobe Scan application (or, utilize your favorite scanning application), and then configured it to automatically scan each page once I clicked on I can turn a page and hit continue as fast as I can put a new sheet into the box, and as soon as I do, it's taking A document does not have to be scanned at a copier! This is brilliant! If I need to print it later, I ask it to save the PDF [this is what a scanning app will do for you instead of taking a photo and capturing a jpg (photo) which will waste all your printer ink if you take a photo. A pair of bumpers is supplied to allow you to always position documents inside the box based on your phone based on its position. In testing with my iPhone, I found that I could simply insert all of my documents into the corner of the box, so I used the bumpers to mark where I should be placing If you get the instructions, you'll also find out that the inventor is passionate about as many ways as he can to use this product to help those with disabilities, so I hope that people will find this and share it in order to spread the word of this amazing product. I've been having trouble with my folks' scanner because no one knows how to use it. They always need help to scan healthcare documents, etc. but even they will be able to The inventor deserves a pat on the back! My wish is that you make a lot of money!.

As of now, it has paid for itself many times over
5/5

Because I have tremors in my hands, I bought this product. I took pictures of the approval forms for e-signatures just a few minutes ago My accountant received my tax forms and filed them. There is no need for me to deal with the temperamental scanner on my desk or drive the UPS to get this done. It is this thought I have every time I use the trash can. As today marks the beginning of the new year, I thought I should share this.

Certainly not a 'marvelous' invention but still a very good one! This is a clever and comprehensive approach A device that performs a functional function
5/5

A very good app for my phone is Scan Pro. After placing a test sheet in the box for a few seconds, I turned the flash on and centered the iPhone lens over the hole/document and the scan was off to my file folder in seconds. Those are some questions I will be interested in finding out, once I get a bank-savings plan in place There are three scans to be done Printers that have the capability to print You can feed sheets of paper. The process of using this method for a limited number of pages will prove to be more convenient and easy to use. This is *br1. Despite the fact that my box only had one rubber bumper, it was still substantial. The service was not used by me, but it may prove more convenient * * 2. Assembly or disassembly of the bin is not a quick process Put everything together. You could easily put it on a table in a corner in a fully upright state and then store stuff to be scanned in it. It could help those who are more tidy than I am (which is to say, all of you) to have a bin that can be collapsed more easily. A good product for individuals and small businesses alike. Owners of one or more can benefit from their possession.

It is an inexpensive tool that can be utilized by users with low vision
5/5

A wonderful and inexpensive device that can greatly ease the difficulties experienced by the visually impaired when trying to access printed materials. Those who are visually impaired might have difficulty aligning the text within the frame of the camera so that it's perfectly focused and at the correct distance, and it might also be difficult to make sure that they are reading the text clearly. In this box, the print is placed exactly where it needs to be. A small lamp (I was using an Ott Lite cobra desk lamp) will almost provide useful lighting, as the white of the inside of the box will even out the light. If people want to magnify an image, they can take an image using their iPhone or iPad and project it onto a large TV screen using screen mirroring on their Apple TV. The Seeing A also works very well with this one. Users of Apple devices can convert printed materials into speech using this free app from Microsoft. This is something I would recommend to patients with low vision.

My photos are now ready for printing, thanks to your fast and easy services
5/5

For scanning items, it is a simple but extremely helpful tool. This was a gift that I received yesterday, so I am scanning old photos for my mom's memorial service (some of which I intend to reprint and use I would like to use this as a handy tool since some images are in albums that I don't want to take out because they are delicate. The best way to scan smaller photos is to prop them up with a book or two (my photo shows me using an sunglasses box to scan a 3" x 5" photo, and you'll also need to remove your phone from its case. In comparison to a flatbed scanner, I had to shine a light on the photos when I used it at night to illuminate them. Otherwise, it is a very quick tool to use. Please accept my sincere thanks.

This is a good idea but there are several differences in focal points between cameras
3/5

I found this idea quite useful, but my Moto Z camera has a different focal length so it was pretty useless for me. If this type of device does not have any way to customize the height and where the camera lens hole is, it is likely to be an impractical device for many.

Here's what we need to know In 2016, or in 2017, this may have been useful to have known
3/5

As of now, it is a piece of waste. My wife and I bought it a couple weeks ago to scan photos and papers. The effort required to use this is not worth it. I have had my almost two-year-old phone for about two weeks and I'm really enjoying it A built-in document and photo scanning capability is available in Notes on the eight-year-old iPhone 8 (and even the six-year-old iPhone 6). Using that feature is faster and corrects for perspective and shadows. If I had a recycling bin, I would place this in it, but my city stopped recycling paper products a few months ago.
