Useful for document handling

Sat 20 July 2019 by Torfinn Ingolfsen

Often I find articles about useful tools online, that I need to find back to later. Page dewarping by Matt Zucker (code on Github) is one such article. It will be useful for scanning old documentation. His noteshrink tool and Compressing and enhancing hand-written notes article is also interesting, perhaps I can shrink some of the scanned PDF files.

It seems like the Archivist still is the choice for a DIY book scanner - it is easy to understand why, a lot of thought has been put into the design. I wonder if it is possible to create something more portable? The auto page flip scanner thread in the forum is also interesting. On the software side, some useful tools are Pi Scan, ScanTailor Advanced

Hmm, what about SpreadPi / Spreads? Does Pi Scan replace them? Or are they still useful?

Lots of info over at the DIY Book Scanner forums.
