NETUM High-Speed Document Camera, Smart Document Scanner with OCR Function A4 Camera Scanner 13 Mega-Pixel Lens with LED Lights Adjustable and Portable Scanner for Office Classroom Home, SD-3000NC

The media could not be loaded. I'm still exploring the usefulness of this NETUM document camera system. A multi-function printer with an automatic document feeder is the ultimate way to scan documents, and this NETUM camera is far from that. The intended user base is the small home office with only the occasional need to scan a set of documents into a PDF file. It can also do JPG snapshots and videos.The document scanning purpose begs the question of whether my cell phone could do a better job, and I suspect that it could. There are a dozen choices of jigs available for around $20 that will hold a cell phone in position so that one can have their hands free to swap documents in and out of view. Some are like music stands that hold the paper almost vertically so that pages can be dropped onto the level floor of the frame and be immediately straight. Jigs for cellphones partner with various applications like Microsoft Lens, CamScanner, and others. After capturing the PDF, I can instantly print directly from my phone to my printer.This NETUM document camera system is an average quality cell phone camera (8MP) mounted on a jig that sits on a mat with markings to show where to place the paper. That rollout mat is helpful in roughly positioning everything, but laying sheets flat on a template is more cumbersome than simply dropping them onto a stand. This Netum device is integrated with the Netum desktop software, so your only choice is to learn to like the software despite its many quirks.There is a USB flash drive packaged with the camera. In my case, the flash drive contained 'NetumScan Pro Install 1.7.55.exe'. When I looked on Netum's website for the latest version, I was surprised to see "NetumScan Pro Install 1.7.20.zip". The "Settings/About" doesn't return anything about the software version I installed, but it appears that it is newer than the latest. The software only works with Windows.After playing with this for an hour or two, I've come to appreciate it. The camera boom is a fixed distance from the mat, and there is an integrated light that can be brightened and dimmed, which makes setup quick and easy. The software has an automatic capture mode that will snap a photo of the document several seconds after it detects that you're no longer adjusting it. I quickly copied four two-sided pages into a PDF file reasonably smoothly. The OCR function was a nice bonus and promptly converted the image to a text document with reasonable accuracy.In my video, I just used my old Kindle as an example. A wave of my hand started the automatic capture and then page flips on the Kindle screen triggered the next captures. The software's autocrop feature trimmed off anything outside of the screen. The PDF was neat and clean.

I had 2 problems installing the software on Windows 11. First the .exe file on the provided USB drive would not extract. So I downloaded the file from the website and it worked. However, the second problem took more time to figure out. When attempting to get the software to work I kept getting errors that I did not have permission for the logs. After looking around on the internet I figured out that I needed to go to the folder where the software was installed and change the permissions to allow everyone full permissions. After that everything ran perfectly.Excellent image quality and OCR.
