Standard Windows Issues - Doesn't work after all software is installed

I bought this with the intention of scanning all my other books. I trimmed the bindings before trying this but it just doesn't work. My Windows 10 VM sees the new USB device but doesn't apply the two drivers I installed twice. I want it to be a good decision. I visited the IRIS website several times before purchasing the Iriscan Desk 5 Pro.

Pros
  • Acceptable
Cons
  • Low maintainability

It works but don't expect it to work well

It works. However, navigating through their website to register (required to get the software) and then providing them with additional information to get to the software download site is terrible. Ads pop up in the middle of filling out forms and the forms never fill out on my computer. I ended up having to use my husband's Mac to fill out forms, which allowed me to follow the download link, then the download manager told me it would take anywhere from two hours to over a day to download the…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Everything is great

Problematic for lighting but acceptable for non-glossy books

Without good light control (ambient lighting) you tend to get highlights on paper that shimmer from reflected light. If I had to change the design, I would place the LEDs on retractable/retractable light panels that could be offset 30 degrees from the plane of the book being scanned. Image quality and alignment software were pretty good, but glare from the lighting causes problems getting good scans of drawings from printed journals or magazines.

Pros
  • good thing
Cons

Scanning made easy with scanners and accessories

I bought this for my husband's anniversary and he loves all the features. He has so many books in the house and now he can scan each page without bending the book. He can carry an entire book right on his phone. The investment was profitable.

Pros
  • Feel good
Cons
  • Wait too long

Perfect scanners into document scanners

I run a small online business that sells sports cards. It was really hard to find a scanner that scans a clear image. I bought 2 different scanners, both had no clear image. If you know anything about sports cards, there is always a lot of text on the back of each card. Traditional scanners gave a blurry image, and potential customers emailed me asking me to improve the image. It was really unprofessional. I stumbled across this one and thought wow, I've never seen a scanner like this! I ended…

Pros
  • even old people understand
Cons
  • security

Windows Common Issues - Doesn't work after installing all software

I bought this to scan all my other books. I trimmed the bindings before trying this but it just doesn't work. My Windows 10 VM sees the new USB device but doesn't apply the two drivers I installed twice. I want it to be a good decision. I visited the IRIS website several times before purchasing the Iriscan Desk 5 Pro.

Pros
  • Automatic page break detection and auto scan: Intelligent software will automatically detect page breaks and can start scanning automatically to make scanning easier. The convenient push button can also be used to start scanning while keeping your hands free.
Cons
  • Hard to say

I've had this for about 5 months now, I use it to scan items I sell online (mostly music books, sheet music), I have this bought mainly to speed up the scanning process with my flatbed scanner. I wish I had sent it back and gotten something better. Recessed lights don't work well enough. I had to add additional lighting with a temperature of around 5k to get good black and white scans. I kept experimenting with additional light sources and the position of light sources to finally get a mediocre

Pros
  • USB powered devices, no power adapter needed, required in libraries and pharmacies
Cons
  • Empty

However, be careful. get lost.

I really wanted to love this product with its great industrial design. I've also heard horrible things about CZUR scanners sending your hard drive contents back to China, so I was excited about the alternative. In the end I think it's pretty good, but get ready for a good cleanup to get usable results. Luckily, the software that comes with it, while flawed, allows you to perform this cleanup quite effectively. I spent about 4 hours scanning the book. In an attempt to "hide your fingers", about…

Pros
  • Fast scan speed + optional LED indicators: Super fast scan speed with IRIScan image adjustment software. Just 2 seconds per page for single sheets and double-sided A3 books. Can scan any material smaller than A3.
Cons
  • Minor issues

The scanner does a good job

The Iriscan Desk 5 Pro has gotten a bad rap in some reviews so I was wary of my purchase. I have a Fujitsu ScanSnap 500 ix500 which can scan incredibly fast but requires page splitting and cannot handle documents wider than 8.5 inches. So the Iriscan Desk 5 Pro offers scanning for large formats as well as much smaller format books that Fujitsu cannot process without cutting/breaking the binding. The main complaints seem to focus on the lighting, the OCR-to-text conversion, the recognition of…

Pros
  • AI: hand motion detection with automatic scanning when hands disappear
Cons
