This desktop USB device captures digital images of documents as well as three-dimensional items that won't fit on traditional flatbed scanners. The digitizer is controlled from your computer via the included software. In just one second, an image sensor in its 9" long digitizer bar captures up to a 5 megapixel image (2592 x 1944) of the subject beneath it. Ten white LEDs with adjustable brightness control provide illumination for optimal exposure. The digitizer and the object or document (up to 8 1/2" x 11") to be scanned are aligned on a reversible non-slip guide for foolproof results every time. Occupying no more desktop area than a coffee mug, the device's scanning head folds flat when not in use to stay out of harm's way. The included image editing software for Windows 7, Vista, and XP includes Optical Character Recognition (OCR) capability that converts digitized documents into editable text files. Includes USB cable for power and file transfer. Closed: 16 1/2" H x 2 1/2" W x 3 1/2" D. (2 1/4 lbs.)
