Reviews:

The principle of scanning historic books, valuable manuscripts, stapled documents, color drawings and maps without causing damage has been optimised and refined with the new generation of Bookeye® overhead scanners.

The scanner developed and produced in Germany combines state of the art scanning lenses, high-quality CCD image sensors and white LED light, bundled in a movable continuous light strip, which follows the scanning process.

Bookeye® 3 meets individual requirements. This scanning resolution equips you to digitise many different types of originals. Bookeye® 3 is available either as color or as grayscale unit.
