Portable Document Scanner, AOZBZ 900DPI Handheld Image Scanner, Scanning Wand,A4 Colour Photo Mobile Scanner Handy Scan (JPG/PDF Format, High Speed USB 2.0, Micro Need SD/TF Card But Not Included)

Purchased this hand held "Wand" scanner to reduce the rist of damaging book bindings when I need a copy of a page to work from to prevent the original from damage.I used to use a Fuji camera with a text option, but sadly the electronics failed - so use this in it's place as most of what I need is now in A4 format or smaller.The scanner has an advantage in that it has a choice of PDF or JPEG file format and each in 3 resolutions - so covers most thimgs.The enclosed instruction are minimal (still can't work out how to set the date!) but generally have found it easy to use.Remains to be seen how long lived/reliable it will be.

Simple to set up out of the box. Two AA batteries and microSD inserted. Callibration for white balance simple. Scanned a text in both formats on high setting to see how it worked with existing OCR software. Linked by USB. Glitch here. USB C to USB C didn't recognise scanner, but USB c to USB A (supplied cable) did. Downloaded scans. OCR faultless. So very handy portable scanner that can operate on most documents and doesn't need a A4 copy to feed through.

It works well for scanning text (but a bit less so for images). Sometimes the scans do not turn out well or may be inverted - so practice (and checking scanned material) is key.

Brilliant portable scanner that's easy to use. Set up was easy with good instructions. It scans as JPEG or PDF in B&W or colour. Also scans in 3 different DPI settings!

It is very difficult to scan with this item. It needs to be switched on three or four times before the green light stays on. Sometimes the green light goes off in the middle of scanning. Either it is faulty or very unreliable.

Worked a few times successfully. A bit tricky to use effectively but gets easier with practice. After a few weeks stopped working. Just get error message whenever it starts up. Not worth it.

I needed a small scanner for scanning documents abroad. I don't have access to a flatbed scanner so this seemed perfect. It really is.You need to practice your scanning technique and I use a book or something else with a straight edge to guide be down the scan, but the results are excellent. I would recommend this to anyone.

The handheld scanner is small and convenient enough for portability, and works to an 'okay' standard if all you want to do is scan documents. The resolution is high enough for reading text by eye, but I did not get as far as testing with OCR, which I suspect may be affected by the main issue: it is almost impossible, by hand, to faithfully scan a photo, because a human cannot pass the scanner across a photo without variation to the angle and speed of the pass, consequently people and objects in scanned photos look as if they are reflected in a distorted mirror in a hall of mirrors at a funfair. I tried many times, but could not get an acceptable reproduction of a photo, which argues with the manufacturer's demonstration video in we are shown a user passing the scanner across photos in magazines at intermittant speed - quicly, slowly, even stopping half way through - but nonetheless able, it seemed, to upload a perfect result (as if from a flatbed scanner), a misleading representation. In real use, the hand-held scanner is simply not acceptable as a solution for photo scanning. Furthermore, the setup process for the scanner is problematic because (A) the functionality of the scanner is not as described in the instructions (for example, you are told to use a 'format' button, to format the memory card, but there is no such button, and the small LCD screen does not respond during setup as you are old it will) according to instructions which (B) are in a form of English translated from Chinese which is utter gibberish and absolutely impossible to understand or to follow, so that you have no option but to proceed by trial and error. I bought the hand-held scanner in the hope that I would not need a flatbed scanner but it proved only that there is no alternative to a flatbed scanner. Disappointed and unimpressed.

I have been scanning an old photo album. Works great.

Muy útil para las cosas de mi oficina gracias recomendados me llegó muy rápido a Colombia

Produit très bien protégé pour la livraison, installation et fonctionnement facile

The scanner is not showing any clarity on scanned images, the text part on one side of the page is not at all visible as one can see in the attached image, I have purchased this scanner on 27th June, and I would like to exchange the product. This is not at useful to scan documents due to error and non visibility.

Very good quality, very easy to use. I passed my maths exam with it. 10/10
