// 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:

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:
