Hi Judy;
I received one as a gift last year, I think it was the vupoint. I ended up
returning it. I thought it was great to scan a few pages, and great if you
need the portability, but to scan an entire book it was very tedious, plus
you had to have a very steady hand. I have several books that I scanned
that were "fragile" and I used the plustek optic book, scanning in 1 page
at a time. That seemed to work well.

Has anyone used a vupoint portable scanner to try and scan pages from a
book? I've got a friend who loves hers as she is getting really good
scans on pages from books she needs for a project but can't check out from
the library. I'd never heard of them before. I'm not sure if they require
vision to use either. They're totally portable, run on batteries, no
computer needed to do the scanning itself. Abbyy OCR software is included
for when you transfer the images to your computer.
They're called VuPoint Magic Wand portable scanners. They put the images
on a micro SD card, to transfer to a computer later. You can download the
images from the scanner with bluetooth or a usb cable too.
I'd love to know more about them from anyone who has tried one. From what
she said, it's shaped like a thick wand, and you hold the wand in your
hand and just run it down the page with the sensor against the page of the
book for it to scan.
