Review on IRISCan Document Handheld Portable Scanner Scanners in Document Scanners by Chris Wheeler

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Customer service is great but other than that unfortunately not what I expected.

Not quite what I expected , but it's a good option for items I can't use my feed scanner for. Unfortunately it needs a technique to avoid distorted scans and I still haven't mastered the technique, if you scan too fast it's not accurate to get an image, if you scan too slow you have more time, accidentally distorting the image because - for uneven scanning. It's fantastic for SMALL documents and pictures, not so much for documents and pages from books as advertised. Customer service is excellent so I give it to them but as I said its only use for me is really for documents winning. I can't pull into my desktop scanner for some reason, and even I have to try to scan it multiple times due to user error and corrupted documents. Oh, and don't even try to scan a page that's still in a bound book, the distortion is worse, and if the binding is very tight you can lose words or distort them so much that it doesn't worth reading once. Also, I thought I bought an IRISCan wireless scanner and I think I accidentally clicked on the wrong one so despite the SMALL screen on the scanner I have to constantly take out the MicroSD card and put it in my computer to do the scan to check. in itself, you will not see the degree of distortion on it. It's a minor inconvenience, but annoying enough that I don't use it as often as I originally thought I would.

Pros
  • 1.5 inch color screen Scanning up to 100 documents per day Powered by USB Li-Ion battery Instant result function: real-time display of scanned images on PC screen
Cons
  • High price
