Stepan is very helpful, and a pleasure to work with. The book scanner is of high quality, and produces results equal to setups costing much more. I'm quite pleased.

A system designed for scanning books with smartphones and photo cameras.

Mark V has the most stable frame among all of the versions of our book scanning system, which saves time both during the scanning process and later, during the post-processing of the images.

The Full set consists of three main parts:
- Plexiglas book cradle
- Plexiglas top frame
- Support system for the phone(s) for mounting on the frame

The DSLR set consists of four main parts:
- Plexiglas book cradle
- Plexiglas top frame
- Support system for the phone(s) for mounting on the frame
- Support system for light DSLR camera(s) for mounting on the frame

The Top Frame set consists of two main parts:
- Plexiglas top frame
- Support system for the phone(s) for mounting on the frame

Cradle allows you to open a book at a 90-degree angle which makes the open pages to be almost flat. The top part of the book scanning system includes a bent Plexiglas part that flattens the pages of the book even more, allowing for perfect scanning.

The average speed of scanning with this system and a smartphone is 10-20 seconds per scanned page. To improve the results it may be useful to use voice commands or a Bluetooth shutter release (1x included in the package) to operate your phone's camera.

Additional software is needed for post-processing and turning a book into a PDF.
The total projected time spent per page to create the final PDF (without OCR and editing) is 20-30 seconds per page.
