VueScan Standard Demo
I am evaluating an application named VueScan that enables you to scan a page full of photographs and automatically separates them into individual images.
I addressed the bug I discovered at the end of the video by publishing a simple command line program to correct the errors. The program is hosted on GitHub and is documented on this wiki page:

Examining Climate Data: A Rational Approach to the Climate Crisis Debate As an engineer, I trust in the power of data to reveal truths about our world. In the debate over whether we face a climate crisis, I’ve turned to the most reliable source we have: temperature records. By downloading and analyzing global temperature data, we allow the facts to speak for themselves. I have extensive experie...

Every year, I collect temperature records from the government's website. With this data, I have created an Excel workbook to streamline my analysis. As an engineer, I believe data is crucial to understanding our world. The U.S. Historical Climatology Network (USHCN) keeps three types of temperature records: raw, TOB, and FLs.52j. The raw data consists of unaltered readings from thermometers. Th...

    Yes, The Czur ET24 Pro has exactly the same problems. In reality the Plustek Opticbook 4800 (which is a flatbed scanner) is actually faster even with a calimed speed of 3.5 seconds per page which is really 8 seconds per page. As for curvature, the Plustek scans all the way to one edge of the glass (which is where you place the binding and can handle a 800 page thick book just fine. And there is no secondary processing required for perfectly undistorted scans. It took over 10 videos to figure out how to use the CZUR workflow and it still requires third party SW to clean up the distortions which negates any advertised speed advantages. To scan 60 page magazines required placing a sheet of glass over the magazine to flatten it and also required using side lights to avoid the glare from the overhead lamps in the glass. The stapled binding of the magazine is much worse than a book binding for creating non-linear distortions. If you dont care about scan quality, the CZUR is ok and fast. If you want good scan quality, the Plustek is actually faster, even at 8 seconds per page. The Plustek has a major problem with buggy SW which forced me to scan in 60 page sections due to random SW lockups killing the entire scan up to that point) (and Yes I was running a high end engineering workstation with ECC memory as the host for both).

      After I received the email from Microsoft informing us of the new AI in Bing, I clicked on the link and it opened a page in Edge. I filled out the request for Early Access an Edge on my PC. I did this immediately after receiving the email so I was probably one of the first to submit the request. The Bing app on my phone updated about a week after I had access on my PC.

    I bought this scanner to scan several old books in Norwegian. I had to set up special lighting (two ringlights for smooth lighting). The single light source on the scanner itself causes way too much glare. The software did a good job of correcting the curvature and eliminating the images of my thumbs holding the pages down. Correct alignment is crucial to getting good scans. The process was somewhat tedious, but I did get good images which I then ran through OmniPage Pro for OCR, and then used Google translate to convert to English. Processing was pretty fast with my HP laptop. Aside from book scanning, this device is really not particularly useful. I find it much faster to use a flatbed or my old Fujitsu fi6130Z for routine scanning.
