// ATIZ - Book scanners

BookDrive
BookDrive scanners by ATIZ are the latest in book scanning technology and have quickly become the world’s best-selling devices for library digitization projects. Offering an affordable solution for scanning books up to A2 format, BookDrive scanners are high-performance devices that provide a state-of-the-art approach to book scanning.

With BookDrive, users can convert books to digital format at high speeds (up to 700 pages per hour). The device features a unique V-shaped cradle and a transparent plate that press the book into a V shape, ensuring pages remain perfectly flat and free from curvature during scanning. BookDrive scanners are easy to operate and guarantee uniformly straight pages.

Auto-Centering Cradle
Normally, the center of a book shifts left to right with each page turn. BookDrive scanners eliminate this issue with a unique auto-centering cradle, ensuring that the center of the book remains stationary during scanning. This design achieves even edges and margins, a feature lacking in other scanners.

Key Benefits of BookDrive Scanners:
  • Fast Multi-Book Scanning:
    BookDrive digitizes images using two Canon SLR digital cameras, allowing for much faster scanning compared to other scanners. This means you won’t need to spend hours scanning a single book. Quickly scan an entire bookshelf with BookDrive.

  • Simple eBook Creation:
    BookDrive can scan into PDF format, the widely supported standard. Enjoy your favorite books on any device, such as a laptop, PDA, or eBook reader, anytime, anywhere.

  • Improved OCR Performance:
    Flat images scanned with BookDrive look better than the curved pages from flatbed or standard book scanners, resulting in higher accuracy when converting to text with OCR software.

  • Create Your Own Digital Library:
    BookDrive is ideal for schools, companies, and private collections, offering a way to build a personal digital library.
