New from Tasmania, exploring overhead scanner options for Linux
Posted: 08 Jan 2022, 07:58
Yep, I have received a bit of CZUR (https://czur.com/) spam in recent years and often dreamed of having one, but Linux support is the issue.
My use case is not in fact books, though heck book scanning rocks I've scanned quite a few in past but that's a whole other long story. My need today or the thing I'm exploring is overhead scanners, as they have become quite cheap, and do cool stuff like book curvature correction and more ... my context is I use Linux and can use a WIndows VM on Linux, and I have school children, who produce school work. It is collecting in piles and I want an efficient way to scan it, with much of it larger than A4 format (A3 is common, larger still exists but I have stitching solutions).
To wit I just posted this:

But tonight's searching and reading uncovered this site and forum, and the possibility of networking with like-minded folk from the scanning rather than Ubuntu angle.
