The best book scanner I've ever tried!

Bought to digitize the books I still have in paper form and so far very happy. Setup is very easy and intuitive, and I only consulted a small guide once to make sure I didn't miss anything. Comes with a software CD, but you can also download it directly from their website (viisan(dot)com, then go to Support > Download Driver & Manual > Book Scanner and select "VIISAN OfficeCam" to download utilities) - 332MB zip file. After installing the software, the camera is automatically recognized when it starts up and is ready for use. You can choose to save as an image, document, book, barcode, OCR or " I've attached a few samples. The text-heavy book has 300 pages in paperback and the other almost 200 pages in hardcover. I showed a photo of each book as it looked when scanned and the anti-curved scan, which I saved as a searchable PDF. The scanner was amazing at recognizing every word and even highlighting it in bold and italics. This is the third document scanner I have used and by far the best.
