my library has an archive for local history, they've been trying to digitize for a while now and this thing would help a lot lol.

You might be the target user for sure :)

You'd be surprised how many specialized books are print only. Also, you can get the print book shipped internationally, while the ebook is often only available in specific regions.

I know a guy that was hired for 3 months to scan the documents for a legal case that started 20 years ago. This was about a year ago. Patient files in smaller medical practices are normally hand written. They are thrown out if patients do not return after a few years. I think there still is a small market for the product,

[@notenoughtech]

It's interesting. I'm actually surprised with how many people commented with the cases they would genuinely take advantage. I might be wrong about how digitised the world is after all

I have 50 photo albums that my Dad wants scanned - taking out the individual pictures would take forever, but the albums are hugely varied in size and many have the problem with page warp when opened. My only hesitation with this scanner is light glare. The albumns have plastic sleeves and many of the photos are glossy. But, this was useful information to help me make a decision.

[@notenoughtech]

The side lamp would prevent the glare I believe.

[@chrisrosenkreuz23]

wow this is really impressive, and I didn't expect it clicking on the title. not useful for myself directly, but I will most likely benefit from others' use of this product in my lifetime.

What's that Terry Pratchett book? I don't recognize the cover.

[@notenoughtech]

This is an artwork book with cooperation with Terry. Plus it's signed by him 😍

Thanks Mat.

When I ripped all my vinyl collection some years back, I had real trouble getting the sleeves and covers of a 12 inch record scanned in; there were no flatbed scanners big enough. I ended up scanning sections and stitching them together with a graphics package from Microsoft. I wonder if this would be able to scan a 12 inch cover in one pass?

[@djwindkind]

this sounds like THE perfect use case! pretty sure it fits larger objects, did you check the product page?

[@notenoughtech]

You could scan from further away to get pass the A3 format. But you may see the stand in the picture

[@djwindkind]

ooooooh TERRY PRATCHETT! You legend!

[@notenoughtech]

I've met him in 2003 I sneaked into press release meeting 😁😁

[@djwindkind]

@@notenoughtech ooooh my god! so happy for you! read about 20 books from him, so sad he passed...

[@notenoughtech]

I know. I read almost all his books with 2 unfinished. I feel like when I finally finish these there will be nothing else to read from him.

[@djwindkind]

@@notenoughtech and nobody comes even close... oh, now i get flooded by memories... the carpet ppl... the one where they discover that the discworld is a giant machine... death gets retired... the old conan type... the feather IS stronger then the sword, if its a big enough feather... our brains are amazing, haven't thought about this universe for well over a decade, but its all there, even 20 years after ingestion...
