Face-up scanning
BookDrive DIY employs a unique v-shaped book cradle and transparent platen to help protect bindings (scanning is performed without laying books out flat and applying undesirable or unnecessary force to bindings) and save time (handling is kept to a minimum as pages can be turned without having to flip the book over each time).

No page curvature
Conventional or overhead scanners produce curved page images and rely on software to correct curvature problems. This approach is inefficient and unreliable, often producing poor or unusable results. However, BookDrive DIY's combination of v-shaped book cradle and transparent platen together with overhead SLR cameras guarantee sharp, flat-looking pages are captured everytime.

Auto-centering cradle
As the pages are turned the center of your book gradually shifts from right to left with the bulk of the weight (a well-documented problem known as 'margin crawl'). Manual intervention is normally required to reposition the book to prevent inconsistent margins or even incomplete pages when scanned. However, BookDrive DIY eliminates this problem with its unique v-shaped cradle and transparent platen that act to correctly position the book before each scan. This produces consistent borders and margins with every page.

Versatility
BookDrive DIY can be used to scan all kinds of books and can facilitate many different sizes, thicknesses and types of bindings. It is especially easy on battered old books.

Superior OCR Accuracy. It’s 300 fewer errors every page.

When performing an OCR on the images from BookDrive DIY vs. traditional scanners, you can see the mind-boggling difference between the BookDrive DIY and the competition. It’s hundreds of errors fewer in every page!
