i have iphone 13. which one would cupture better snap iphone camera or this czur scanner. kindly give the honest opinion i just want to know the quality of snapping. and also pls let me know compared to flatbed scanner hows its quality. ( timing doesn't matter even flatbed or iphone would take more time for scanning a book im ok with that)

Thanks for the video. This is my third campaign with CZUR, going back to 2015. And this is their best so far. I can scan a full book with glossy images with no problem. Never had any trouble with the software, although their interface is not so intuitive to me. Also, I like the small size and light weight, meaning you can pick it up and move it out of the way when not using.

@kuro68000 Год назад

I see you had problems with warping too. No matter how hard you pull with the finger cots you can't get it flat enough to work, and the software can't fix it. Part of the problem seems to be that they rely on the laser lines, rather than using software that can do simple corrects like saying "this line is probably straight so I'll use it as a guide". There are open source tools like ScanTailor that do a much better job, but Czur prevent you getting the raw images out so you have to use their crapware. Oh, and it also deletes the raw images when you close the software or switch projects, so you can't go back and improve older stuff or submit it to Czur as a bug report either. Even if it could, the amount of time and effort needed to get the pages flat with the finger cots would be impractical for long books. A simple fix would have been to include a plastic V shape mount for the book, so that you can scan it only half open when warping is much less of a problem. You might have to do one page at a time due to focal length (I guess they aren't able to adjust that to do it in a single pass for both pages) but at least it would have been possible. Did you notice that you can't correct rotation errors either? It only lets you rotate in 1 degree increments, and the error is rarely an exact multiple of a degree. It should do it automatically anyway, rather than making you manually do it. When I asked Czur about it they were not interested. I've come to the conclusion that for non-rare stuff it's best to just cut the spine off and use a sheet feed scanner. For stuff you won't destroy this isn't the solution. The amount of force needed to straighten the pages will damage rare stuff anyway. It only works for things like ring bound book where the pages are flat, and even then it's much worse than ScanTailor.

@rowdyblakley8669 Год назад

I have this but haven't used it yet, previously I had a Czur Aura Pro which was ok. From what you say, the quality of this may be worse. Sometimes I buy rare books that I want to scan but not damage and this will do the job. Otherwise I chop off the spine and feed it through a sheet feed scanner. Your experience is still disappointing though. I must check out Scan Tailor, that is new to me.

@kuro68000 Год назад

@@rowdyblakley8669 I think it really depends if you can open the book completely flat without damaging it... In which case you might as well just use a flatbed.

@rowdyblakley8669 Год назад

I have scanned hundreds of books in all three methods, hands down the fastest and best quality is to chop the spine and use a sheet feed scanner, (Fujitsu iX500). My least favourite is the flatbed, the Czur Aura experience was actually Ok and the book survived!! My expectations are not high so I guess I will be satisfied with the CT24. Czur are a good company and let's hope they listen to constructive feedback and improve the niggles.

Yes, agree, much quicker scanning.. Only sometimes, I do not want why, perfectly straight image scan turned and scanned just a portion. Repeated, same result.. Then continued normaly..happened not regularly, unexpectedly, and not too often.. Best scanned, "what normal person" still accept to pay.. Should be nice if some integration with ABBYY ocr could exist... Much sofisticated ocr.. Anyway, you can let the result run on abbyy afterwards..

What's your trick with the finger-cots? I always have problems that the software doesn't recognize the page edge correctly at first and have to do several re-takes. I have been in contact with their support, but it didn't help completely. Otherwise I am also quite satisfied with the scan quality

@drawkin_cc Год назад

Not sure if this will help, but I'm not a fan of the finger cots, if you go into the facing pages option, you can have it recognize your fingers & automatically remove them. The software still bugs out occasionally & keeps them in, but I found it does a better job removing my fingers than the cots (which leaves a yellow ghosting effect). (I have the new et24). As far as not recognizing the edges, I'm having trouble getting it to recognize large splash pages that span across both pages & dark black pages. For those, I'm setting it to manual selection & take a photo of both pages. Takes a bit more time, but end up looking better.

@uwezimmermann5427 Год назад

@@drawkin_cc I had also noticed and commented to the support that I had the feeling that the finger-recognition works better than the finger-cot-recognition. Therefore I was surprised to see that it seemed to work so perfectly for Steve - though I don't know how much editing was involved. In contrast to Steve I had to pay for my ET24 and not produce an advertising video... But it is really a good scanner!

@@uwezimmermann5427 Yeah, I find the software a bit hit or miss, but mostly hit, so I'm pretty happy with the scanner as well! Hopefully software updates will fix the finger-cot issues. :)

@sdgelectronics Год назад

It worked straight away for me, no issue (no camera/editing trickery). I missed the finger detection option, but I didn't have to fiddle about to get anything to work so didn't dig further than I needed to. I didn't try it, but I could imagine if you happened to shake whilst the image was being taken they wouldn't be detected properly.

@Noxonomus Год назад

I would love to see how it does if you some sort of book cradle with the stiff spined book. I assume it would handle it well but I would love to see the output.

The edge detection can be fooled with other objects in view of the camera, but you can set up a post-processing option to clear up after.

They keep saying that I need to pick up my parcel at the local post office - as a proof they send me a screenshot from a tracking page where you can clearly see that the package is being returned. So I lost my money and have no product. From my experience - their customer support ist the worst ever.

@kuro68000 Год назад

Got mine a few days ago. It's garbage tier. The output is "better than nothing" but nowhere near what I'd consider minimum quality for scans of books. The software is particularly bad. It crashes a lot, and the UI is awful to use. It doesn't DPI scale, the mouse wheel doesn't work in many places, drop-down option boxes break if you move the mouse off the slider. At least on Windows, have not tried Linux. The worst part though is that it just doesn't fix the page warping. It tries, but it almost always fails. How badly depends on the book. Paperbacks are basically impossible to scan. Even hard backs look terrible towards the start and end. It also screws up colouring and shading in the process, and rarely crops correctly. You can improve it with a lot of manual labour, but on a book with 1000+ pages that's ridiculous. Czur support are hopeless. They can't help because the thing is just crap. I'm trying to get them to take it back but they don't seem interested. Some sample images here: diybookscanner.org/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=3696
