Title. I got a hold of a couple books (one text, other,images) that I would like to make it available to others and the don’t exists in digital format. Photos to PDF? Or something that converts IMG to text?

      You do by hand, but it goes very fast. It’s like a table, you lay it open (text upside), it scans, you flip it scans. You don’t have to open/close anything. Just flip like every second. So for a book with 120 pages you would need like 60 seconds

              Well it still has this Bright light like advancing. But the sensor is like 1m above the table. Honestly I don’t know if this makes it more a camera or a scanner

              My old uni library has 2 of those too. It’s basically a fixed camera, but the table you set the book on, has a sort of negative nook that lets you level out the book. So no matter on which page you are, the pages on the book will be on the same level.
