Review on 📸 CZUR Shine800-A3-Pro Professional Document Camera and Scanner with OCR Function for MacOS and Windows - Height Adjustable, Supports A3 & A4 Documents by Aaron Lewis

I have had another Czur scanner, Czur Aura Pro, for about 20 months now. Love it! As a scientist, I keep scanning objects for my research, teaching and yes, also for my official work. I have recommended it to my colleagues over and over again. I jumped at the opportunity to purchase the Czur Shine Ultra for its advanced features. It's smaller and lighter than the Czur Aura Pro (weighing just 2.2 pounds), so it's just as light and packable as a thin laptop. Both scan up to A3 (European paper size; just over a double sheet of paper). When the travel skies open up again, I look forward to using Czur Shine Ultra in libraries and archives in Germany - it's easier to travel with than Czur Aura Pro. I found Czur Aura Pro aesthetically pleasing, but Czur Shine Ultra is even more beautiful! The scans are just as good as Czur, which handles flat images. I particularly like the ability to create OCR (searchable) PDFs, Word documents and Excel spreadsheets from scans that are first processed as JPGs. I work in several languages; Czur Shine Ultra can recognize 180 different languages. Once a document is searchable, computer search programs capture the smallest details in documents. There are other functions for editing documents. Both scanners feature innovative Czur curve smoothing technology (good for books). Even the professional Zeutschel scanners that I use in the Library of Congress or German libraries do not have this function. (Like Zeutschel OCR documents.) The Czur Shine Ultra not only surpasses the Czur Aura Pro in terms of aesthetics and portability, but also has an additional video recording function in addition to flat images. This is where the screen sharing feature of various online meeting programs comes into play. With online meeting programs, you're limited to what your webcam can capture, and that usually includes yourself (unless you tilt your webcam in that direction). With Czur Shine Ultra you can create or publish videos with a book or text that link to the relevant parts for your audience. You can also create or share a video that includes just the object (see my video of the uranium glass candlestick on the UV lit side that I demonstrate in my Atomic Age course). Czur Shine Ultra is a great scanner with a wider scope than Czur Aura Pro and more features. And it's easy to use. Highly recommended!
