The KIC Bookeye scanner offers a more efficient alternative to traditional face-down scanning by eliminating common challenges like lengthy scan times and uncertain scan quality until review. As a face-up scanner, it functions similarly to photographing a book. It can independently scan and separate two pages of a book while automatically enhancing image clarity. Its speed and simplicity make it ideal for quick and accurate scanning—I scanned a 200-page book in about 5 minutes! # Video Demonstration of Scanning Features ![[KIC Bookeye Scanner mp4 1.mp4]] # Exporting ![[KIC Bookeye 5 .excalidraw.svg]] # Other Technologies The KIC Bookeye scanner is excellent, though it requires supervision during use. For a more automated approach, there's a scanner type that grips pages and scans from the spine to the top. This creates a seamless automated workflow, which is highly beneficial. Companies like Treventus (ScanRobot) and Qidenus offer robotic scanners, but these models can be quite expensive, often running into tens of thousands of dollars.
