The CZUR ET16 is also capable of scanning physical objects such as sculptures. All of your scanned documents can be converted to editable Word/PDF/TIFF or JPG. Czur ET16 automatically identify and flatten the curve distortion of books. A replicated digital document will be created also automatically erasing the fingers that hold the book in place.

There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
My wife scans lots of foreign language books for reference and used to use a flat bed scanner (that has a nice feature that allows books to scan only open 1/2 way--But the flat bed scanner light and mechanism would wear out after a year or two). The CZUR used LEDs (plus 3x LED lasers) and pure electronics to take a picture for scanning--Hopefully, this will last a very long time.
Much faster than using the flat bed scanner and no flipping the whole book to scan each page. The side light option is very nice for scanning glossy pages (turn off overhead LEDs).
Software can be installed from CD or downloaded from CZUR's website (which I did, Windows 10 laptop did not have a CD Drive).
Post processing (doing OCR and combining to PDF) was very simple, easy, and fast. Have done OCR for both Chinese and English--Pretty accurate (a lot depends on image quality of source documents). I have attached both a color glossy and black&white scanned documents at the end of the review. They were simple scans and I did not take any extra care or reshoot scans (black text on dark background near corners of page can be difficult to capture cleanly unless you play around with settings).
Using the software takes a bit of experimenting and understanding how it was intended to be used. For scanning, You need to select scanning (can also be used as a camera to project on a digital protector for lecture materials), then you will be taken to the post processing screen. Then select Scan. On the scan page, you need to (upper left) setup the destination directory. Upper right choose Color/B&W/etc. for your scans. Then single page or facing pages. Now you can scan (I use the supplied foot pedal).
Once you are done scanning (if you make a mistake, just write down the one or two image numbers to delete) and continue scanning)., close the scan window and you will be taken back to the post processing screen. On this screen (for example), upper right "select all" images to process, hit Export and PDF+OCR) and fill in the file name (note, the PDF document does not end up in the Image directory--but up a couple levels).
And it will take a minute or two to process a 20 page B&W document into your PDF+OCR.
If you made a scan mistake, on the post processing screen, you can deselect your mistakes, or select the bad image and use the delete/other editing options to fix the mistakes.
Note that as you go back and forth between screens, you will probably get a warning that some temporary data will be erased--So far, I have not found any downside to this message.
If you scanned your data in one session (and turned off computer before post-processing), you have to open the program/scanner/scanner (scanning screen) and select the working directory (it will tell you there is existing data--just accept)--Then (without scanning) you can go back to the export screen and do your post processing as normal (or you can continue scanning if you did not complete).
I am still learning about the software--But one big warning... If you have loose leaf binders to scan. Take the pages out of the binder and scan as single pages. If you try to scan "facing pages"--The software gets "confused" and does a very poor job of separating the left and right pages (the lack of solid binding seems to cause problems with loose leaf scanning). Just scan one page at a time works very well and is probably faster than trying to scan facing loose leaf pages.
Unfortunately, Amazon does not let me post PDF+OCR, so I will post a few examples of scanned pages (glossy, single page B&W, and B&W two facing pages single scan).

Out of the box, this is an impressive display. I would say their packaging rivals that of Apple products (of which I also use). It's slick, solid, well-presented, and gives a good feeling of quality. I would say that hardware wise, that quality delivers. The unit is solid, easy to use, quick to assemble, and easy to store. The only thing I found a little iffy is the extra light. It's absolutely useful and while I think they did a great job with the design, the light is held in place with a magnetic rectangle lock (very similar to the power cord on a MacBook). Because the light is being pulled by gravity and is a little heavier, it can come off with just a little force. Again, not a huge deal, but it's my only complaint with the hardware. There is a foot pedal and hand pedal that allow you to scan without touching the scan area. That in itself is really convenient and functional.
The software is good, but definitely leaves some features to be desired. I noticed that the Fujitsu version of this allows multiple items to be laid on the black cloth and processed individually. This device doesn't seem to allow for that. The multi-page gets off from time to time and I'll have to toy with it in those cases. As a designer and engineer, there are a number of software features that I could envision being pretty easy to build into the software. I also don't feel that the algorithm that "blends in" the thumb holders is very strong. It works, but they could definitely improve upon this significantly.
I was also a little frustrated having to upgrade my version of OS X to use their scanner software. I was only half a version behind and I just can't understand what functionality of the newest OS X release they use that would warrant that. So it took me some time out of the box before I could use it since I had to upgrade my entire machine, but it's been running smoothly since.
If you have a lot of documents or books that you want to scan, I would highly advise this. If you have a ton of photos, unless I'm mistaken and there IS a way to do multiple scans at once, you might consider their competitor. It's more expensive, but that one feature would save me a TON of time with my scanning process. I've had it for 2 days and have already scanned over 3,000 documents - so yea, it's pretty fast.
Top reviews from other countries
Innanzitutto, la qualità delle scansioni è eccezionale. Grazie al sensore da 16 megapixel, le immagini sono nitide e dettagliate, rendendo la lettura un piacere. La dimensione massima di scansione A3 consente di gestire facilmente documenti di grandi dimensioni, il che è particolarmente utile in un ambiente di ufficio.
La funzione OCR (Optical Character Recognition) supporta oltre 180 lingue, il che è impressionante. Questo significa che può riconoscere e convertire il testo in quasi tutte le lingue che si possano immaginare. Questa funzionalità è incredibilmente utile per chi lavora con documenti multilingue.
La facilità d’uso è un altro punto di forza dello scanner CZUR ET16 Plus. L’impostazione è semplice e intuitiva, il che significa che si può iniziare a utilizzare lo scanner quasi immediatamente.
Infine, vorrei elogiare il servizio post-vendita di CZUR. Hanno inviato in prova alcuni gadget interessanti per la scansione di libri in copertina rigida. Questo dimostra il loro impegno nel fornire un servizio clienti di alta qualità e nel garantire che i loro clienti siano pienamente soddisfatti.
In conclusione, lo scanner per libri CZUR ET16 Plus è un prodotto eccezionale che offre un’esperienza di scansione di alta qualità. Lo consiglierei a chiunque abbia bisogno di uno scanner affidabile e facile da usare per casa o ufficio.
Tatsächlich hat mein CZUR eine Lücke gefüllt und ist mir beim Scannen nicht mehr wegzudenken. Ich habe bereits einen fujitsu ScanSnap 500, den ich seit Jahren mit großer Freude zum Scannen benutze. Ich scanne übrigens fast alles ein, und manchmal stößt man mit einem Einzugsscanner an dessen Grenzen. DINA3-Formate, Bücher oder Zeitschriftenartikel, die man nicht online findet, Verkaufsartikel für ebay oder Ähnliches. Bei mir war es zuletzt ein Konvolut von Durchschlagkopien aus den Anfängen des 19. Jahrhunderts; superdünnes Kohledurchschlagspapier, da kann man jeden Einzugsscanner vergessen. Mit dem Handy macht es auch keinen Spaß. Mit meinem CZUR hatte ich die rund 500 Blatt in wenigen Stunden durch.
Am besten gefällt mir der Automatikmodus, der das Auflegen eines neuen Blatts eigenständig erkennt und ich nirgendwo mehr draufdrücken muss.
Die Format- und Größenerkennung funktioniert auf der schwarzen Untergrundmatte problemlos und auch das OCR zeigt brauchbare Ergebnisse an.
Die Bedienoberfläche ist etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber gut gemacht.
Die Auflösung wird mit den neuen Geräten weiter steigen, doch eigentlich brauche ich die gar nicht. Ich freue mich trotzdem darauf.
Eine Extra-Beleuchtungseinheit sorgt für optimale Ausleuchtung zu jeder Tageszeit und auch sonst macht das Teil, was es soll.
Insgesamt ein Klasse-Scanner. Ich habe gesehen, dass neue Modelle von CZUR nun auch abklappbar als Videokonferenzkamera oder für Videocastings taugen, und das zu einem vernünftigen Preis. Bitte weiter so, das wird nicht mein letzter CZUR bleiben. :-)
Overall great machine.
Thumb cots only auto-removed when two page setting is applied.
86 page took 2-3 minutes, as I am a new to this.
Único detalle que le falta: No funciona con Linux, por ahora; no se sabe si en el futuro funcionara.
