Great desktop scanner, but why scan my hard drive and communicate with servers in China?

Reviewed in the United States on October 4, 2017

Size: ET 16Plus

I purchased this product as part of an indiegogo campaign and the software is MUCH improved over previous iterations.

I have TWO big complaints now.

1 - It won't run unless I disable my antivirus software, and
2 - The software scans other parts of my computer for sensitive information and communicates on the back-end with a server in china. I really don't think a desktop scanner is supposed to look at what other programs I have installed on my computer, or what my history or cookies are either.

Since it seems to be doing such activities and has a microphone, I would be concerned with what may be scanned/heard.

My experience with their tech support resulted in their downloading/installing software onto my machine from a site in china that was loaded with suspicious components per a Malwarebytes scan (and other tools), and the technician's interest in financial files on my computer, the disabling of my software firewall and the lack of responses to my direct repeated questions about their interest in files on my computer and the installed software.

I question whether or not there is additional operations happening behind the scenes as a product that is well suited for scanning potentially sensitive documents to convert to electronic format. That functionality is GREAT! And has better OCR than Adobe Professional! But what's it doing behind the scenes on my machine???

Scanning marketing claims vs realities, What does WYSIWYG mean to you?

Reviewed in the United States on October 7, 2017

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

If you are new to digitizing a book, be aware of time use expectations:
The major time consumption in digitizing is NOT the scan time, it is the cleanup time.
This will depend on the quality and sophistication of the original and how good you want the book to look and what device you want to read the book on.
Old books or books with lots of tables, illustrations or symbols (like math, polytonic Greek, extensive footnoting) are likely to produce marginal results that require extensive cleanup.
The scanning might take 12 minutes, the cleanup might take 12 hours. If you anticipate commercial distribution, it could take several days.
Your expectation and usage plans make the difference. If all you want is readability of skewed pages and no searchability on a desktop PC, CZUR will deliver quickly.
Most e-ink readers like Kindle, Kobo, Nook, etc will do very poorly with a pdf file and much better with epub or mobi searchable formats.
Searchable also means speakable, the text-to-speech feature of readers will function as expected only when documents are in OCR format.
It is much easier (and less desirable) to achieve a non-searchable image view than a searchable OCR view depending on who will use the scanned output and how professional you want it to look.

The auto-repositioning of images feature of CZUR has limited accuracy and if you want clean image based pages that look straight and well marginated to the human eye, you will need to hand crop and rotate the images. This takes time.
The CSUR will correct the rotation of pages to within two or three degrees of straightness, the offset is easily visible when it is present.
The type of layered pdf file where you can both see the original page image and simultaneously search the underlying textual characters is a format beneath it is not generated by the CZUR software.
That layered format is the quick and dirty way that the google book project and high end unattended robotic digitizers achieve fast results.
No human supervised spell check is performed and consequently hundreds, even thousands of errors remain hidden from the person reading the book.
You only see those errors if you can export the document into .epub or .docx format to pass it through software with slow human mediated spell checking.
OCR machine spell checking often misrenders the images it sees. The image of a distorted "O" may render as (] or (j ,may render as "O". Italicized letters like b,h, rn and cl are especially vulnerable to confused interpretation. Letters or words may be randomly italicized or bolded by mistake.
The presence of page numbers or page headers/footers may interfere with your intended purpose and may have to be manually removed.
An index set in extra small type (eg 6pt) may end up as mostly human readable, but chopped up in a confusing format and randomly misspelled. Many of your lower case "e" letters can turn into "c".

Expectations realized with CZUR scanner:
High scan rate
Better than average resolution
A set of JPEG files that may be loaded into other higher quality OCR software
Thumbprint removal happens most of the time, but is quirky--very unpredictable and the erasure eats into the page past the actual size of the thumb image sometimes chopping into words by removing leading or trailing letters.
Virtually non-existant documentation

Expectations N OT realized with image CZUR output:
Uniform margins
Straight untilted pages that are not distracting to the eye
Quality rendering of half-tone photos
Automatic contrast detection may create background color drift

Expectations NOT realized with OCRd CZUR output:
Quality rendering of half-tone photos
Rapid OCR and accurate human mediated post processing
The amazon product listing mentions a bundle with ABBYY which was not present with the shipped unit.

No matter how you slice it, book digitizing takes time and the better you want it to look, the more TIME it takes.
In some ways the CZUR is a revolutionary packaged device for high book scan rates at a consumer-oriented price.
But it does not quicken the time-consuming postprocessing aspect of digitization production.
If you already own a very high-resolution 20MP camera you might achieve a similar outcome with third party software like booksorber.
The absence of any meaningful documentation on such a sophisticated product is inexcusable and reason enough to return it in my view.
On the other hand if your computer skills are self-taught by trial and error, this may be just the product for you.
So in the end, just how fussy are you when you read the printed page, ie the distortion distraction factor? How much mental and physical energy are you willing to invest keeping things tidy?
This review is based on personally digitizing several challenging books, but just doing a hardbound novel would be a piece of cake, doing poetry or a mass market paperback is a bear.
My sense of this software [from a former developer] is that it is still at beta level, not enough features and definitely not up to an ADA certification audit, the type is too small and the contrast is loo low unless you have young eyeballs. To my senior eyeballs the screen has an uncomfortable washed out fuzzy look and is functionally at less than ten percent what you would find in the freebie Paint program that comes free with windows.
There is a similar order of magnitude difference between the free copy of Omnipage that comes with a low end Canon flatbed scanner and the inability CZUR to allow for human mediated corrections.
Sometimes the automatic image "correction" makes the image worse rather than better producing a very wavy baseline effect for lines of text.
Sales claim:"Quickly book to ebook (Less than 3 mins for a 200 pages book)" After some practice, I would not attempt to scan a 200 page book in less than 30mins with this product just for the scan alone for a simple book.

If you try the CZUR ET16 you will have a chance to answer such issues from personal experience. If you do decide to take the plunge, here are some tips:
There are lots of youtube ET16 tutorials & tips better than the ones on the CZUR site, like those from D&H Innovation & John Willis & E-Z photo scan.
If you are editing an image and want to rotate it, you can press the right and left arrow keys on the keyboard to go clockwise and counterclockwise by one degree in the rotate tool..
Make sure the book is dead center in the viewfinder, serious parallax distortions result from items placed near an edge because the camera is so close to the page.
If you accidentally scan the same pages twice, you can just delete the extra images without have to renumber anything, the same is true of deleting blank pages.
Some users that digitize glossy pages prefer a light shield box or shield for better results, others do their scanning in a dark room, lighting can be critical for the reflections from coated stock.
Interacting with "support" is fast and easy, their reply will be "Thanks for your question, watch our videos several times, have a nice day."
Assume you will end up buying either OmniPage Pro or ABBYY Pro if you expect to do any serious work, both can import folders full of images from the CZUR.
Also assume you will have to make several cleanup passes for top notch results, one for human-mediated OCR, one for duplicate or missing pages, one for a word processor spell check, one for page aesthetics including margination and justification, and a set of searches of OCR misread trigger words like arid,arc, riot, sonic, clay, yon, ina, docs, tip, nay, and hut.
And of course the final test is actually reading the book for ugly surprises, even if all you do is read one or two chapters you will learn funky things that will repeat all through the book that you can search for.
As pretty as the packaging is, the bottom line costwise is that this item will set you back about twice what I am willing to pay considering the very low cost of a Sony 20 mp cameras and the weak software.
The unit was returned until the price/product usability becomes more realistic. Other options are way more attractive to me. A user friendly product would require a total rewrite and a clear, complete manual.

I wanted to love it, but can't

Reviewed in the United States on June 7, 2017

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

I wanted to love this scanner SO much, but it has too many problems to be useful. The biggest problems are: it doesn't go a good job of removing the chromakey "fingertips" that are supposed to be invisible on the page. So instead of fingers, you see blurry spots on the page, which sometimes eat into the text. Even if you're scanning something flat that doesn't require the fingertips, sometimes you just get bad scans, as in the example I've uploaded. Besides the obvious skew, there's a large cloud-shaped spot where the data is missing. I did hundreds of test scans, and this sort of thing is fairly common. You can't trust the scans it makes. Third, it outputs JPG format, and although the (Windows version only) can export to TIFF, it's TIFF from the JPGs, so you still get JPG artifacting, even in the highest quality mode.

I highly recommend this scanner

Reviewed in the United States on April 1, 2017

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

I am the Director of a County museum and I do a lot of scanning of old photos, documents and books. I was using the Fujitsu SV 600 scanner, but I had to spend countless hours manually correcting the location of the book corners and center after scanning. The CZUR ET 16 has changed all that! I am now able to scan books and the scanner software will automatically split the pages. It is very accurate and I have only had to manually correct a few pages in each book. The setup and firmware update were very simple and I have received quick responses from customer service via email for questions. I highly recommend this scanner!

Best of breed

Reviewed in the United States on February 5, 2017

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

This absolutely does what it claims to do, and substantially better than the Fujitsu (which I also own). Solid construction. The one con is the software which is clearly not designed for English-speakers. Both the cloud software and the local windows versions could use better localization. However, once you figure it out, the scanner is the best of the breed of flattening a scanned book. Great speed. I've been feeding the resulting scans into FineReader OCR Pro and sometimes using ScanTailor, depending on how well refined I want the final result to be.

Anyway, I strongly recommend it if you want to digitize a book with reasonable quality in a short time.

Der CZUR ET16 Plus taugt zur Digitalisierung von Büchern nicht.

Reviewed in Germany on January 13, 2019

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

Der Scanner ist schick. Er sieht aus wie eine Schreibtischlampe mit drei Leuchten. Zum Betrieb benötigt er eine schwarze Kunststoffmatte. Sie wird mitgeliefert. Man breitet sie vor dem Scanner aus. Bücher liegen während des Scans darauf.

Schnell ist der ET16 aufgestellt. Die nötige Software und die schmale Gebrauchsanweisung lädt man sich über die Site des chinesischen Herstellers.

Viel ist nicht einzustellen. Ich wählte das Beste überall. Überraschenderweise war das nirgendwo viel. Trotzdem erwartete ich große Dateien und hochwertige Ergebnisse.

Der Hersteller wirbt mit der Möglichkeit einer Digitalisierung der eigenen Bibliothek.

Ein Buch mit 300 Seiten ist tatsächlich schnell gescannt. Nur eine Stunde brauchte ich für mein erstes Buch, inklusiv die komplette Verarbeitung der Scans. Dabei war es mit einfachem Umblättern zwischen den Scans wahrlich nicht getan.

Gerade dicke Bücher wölben sich sehr. Man muss ihre Seiten anpressen, damit die Scans lesbar sind. Hierzu verwendet man gelbe Plastikhilfen von CZUR, die wie Ringe zu tragen sind. Sie sind mit speziellen Markierungen versehen. Die Software rechnet sie bei der Erzeugung der Scan-Bilder meistens heraus. Für den Träger der Ringe beginnt nach etwa 150 Seiten an den jeweiligen Fingern ein gewisser Schmerz. Zum Glück kommt man selten so weit.

Oft nämlich muss die Lage des Buchs der Achse des Scanners angepasst werden. Diese Achse wird auf dem Kontrollbildschirm in Form einer Linie dargestellt. Man verschiebt sein Buch also oft und setzt den Scan erst wieder fort, wenn man die Mittellinie des Buchs und die virtuelle Achse des Scanners exakt übereinander gebracht hat.

Dünne oder oft gelesene Bücher blättert man übrigens einfach um. Keine Nachjustierung, kein Anpressen. Der Scanner registriert das und scannt automatisch zum genau richtigen Zeitpunkt los.

Erzeugt wird pro Buchseite genau eine JPG-Datei.

Die JPG-Dateien lassen sich beschneiden. Kleine kosmetische Veränderungen sind möglich.

Exportiert wird danach eine PDF-, eine TIFF-, oder eine DOCX-Datei. Der Scanner taugt etwas für treue Liebhaber von Microsofts Word. Soviel sei jetzt schon gesagt.

Denn die mit jedweder Einstellung erzeugten PDF- und TIFF-Dateien sind fast unlesbar. In ihnen enthaltene Texte lassen sich zwar mit weiterer Software gut bearbeiten. Für das menschliche Auge eignen sie sich aber ebensowenig, wie für ein OCR-Programm.

Der Fine Reader OCR von Abby etwa rügt die zu niedrige Auflösung. Seine zunächst überraschende Empfehlung, mit einer Einstellung von mindestens 300 dpi zu scannen, weist auf das größte Problem des CZUR ET16 Plus hin: Jede Einstellung ist sinnlos. Man kann hohe Auflösung zwar vorgeben. Der Scanner und seine Software halten sich aber nicht daran.

Fazit: vermutlich gut gewollt

Der Scanner CZUR ET16 Plus ist bei Weitem nicht auf der Höhe der Zeit. Er scannt in unbrauchbar niedriger Auflösung. Voreinstellungen und Resultat stimmen überhaupt nicht überein. Mit der Anfang 2019 ausgelieferten Software und Firmware taugt er zur Digitalisierung von Büchern nicht.

Wäre eigentlich sehr gut, wenn nicht ....

Reviewed in Germany on July 20, 2018

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

Habe den Scanner ausschließlich für den Betrieb am Mac gekauft und war überrascht, wie gut und umfangreich die Software für Mac ist. Die Bedienung ist nicht ganz maclike, die Oberfläche ein ganz eigenes Ding, gewohnte Hotkeys gibt es nicht, aber man hat sich schnell eingearbeitet und dann flutscht das prima. Es gibt zu jeder Funktion ein Trainingsvideo in englisch. Die Scanqualität ist mehr als ausreichend, ich nutze JPEG niedrigste Qualität und die Scans sind immer noch viel besser, als z.B. mit dem iPhone aufgenommen. Mechanik, Ausleuchtung, alles o.k, ABER:
Mein Scanner schafft es inzwischen (nach 8 Wochen) nicht mehr, ein A4-Blatt zu erkennen und einen exakten Scanrahmen zu erzeugen. Der Frame springt wild herum. Nach etlichen Mails und vielen, vielen Tests, konnte ich herausfinden, daß Fremdlicht das Problem ist, wobei sich diese Überempfindlichkeit zunehmend verschlimmert hat. Zwischenzeitlich funktionierte das Framing nur noch bei geschlossener Jalousie, inzwischen nur noch nachts und Deckenbeleuchtung aus. Die Tips vom Support, Linse putzen und das schwarze Pad reinigen, waren unnötig, habe ich trotzdem versucht, natürlich ohne Erfolg.
Die Mails an den Support nach China werden innerhalb eines Werktags beantwortet (englisch), allerdings hilft mir das inzwischen auch nicht weiter.
Ich warte nun auf die Beantwortung meiner Bitte um Garantietausch, denn dieses Verhalten ist sicher nicht normal.
Falls der Garantietausch gut und schnell über die Bühne geht, werde ich dies hier schreiben und die Bewertung erhöhen, wenn nicht, dann war der Scanner ein teuerer Reinfall, was ich dann ebenfalls entsprechend bewerten muss. Es wäre schade darum, denn das Gerät und die Software wären wirklich in Ordnung, wenn das Framing der Seiten nur funktionieren würde. Daß das perfekt geht, konnte man beim allerersten Test sehen, seitdem spinnt das Gerät leider immer mehr.

Geniale ma...

Reviewed in Italy on February 1, 2018

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

3 stelle per la tecnologia decisamente funzionale: i tempi di scansione sono davvero rapidi. Buona la correzione della curvatura della pagina. La scansione dei testi fa il suo dovere. Purtroppo i 300 dpi massimi della macchina non garantiscono una resa perlomeno accettabile nella scansione delle immagini. Dovendo scansire un testo con riquadri di immagini, la resa è pessima in termini di sfumature di colore. Le variazioni di tonalità vengono percepite come colore nero: purtroppo ciò le rende poco fruibili. Il software fa il suo dovere ma potrebbe fare molto di più: ogni nuovo progetto necessita il riavvio del software, risulta inoltre difficile ordinare le pagine del documento scansito prima di editarle. Segnalo la presenza di 2 tasti (posti a lato della base) indicanti uno zoom, andandoli a premere non succede nulla; secondo le istruzioni, questi costituiscono una predisposizione ad un futuro upgrade della macchina.
Consigliato a chi non ha necessità di scansire testi rilegati con immagini colorate. Per tutti gli altri, uno scanner piano (a 300 dpi) ci impiegherà più tempo ma farà il suo lavoro.

P.S. ottimo customer care, rispondono in lingua inglese e sono molto esaustivi. Mi hanno confermato prontamente che la macchina è ottimizzata per scansioni testuali dunque la resa non può esser superiore a quella che ho ottenuto con le immagini.

Guter Buchscanner mit Schwächen im Farbmodus

Reviewed in Germany on July 23, 2018

Size: ET 16PlusVerified Purchase

Ich habe den CZUR Er 16 Plus Scanner getestet und muss sagen, dass das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis wirklich sehr gut. Der Scanner ist wertig verpackt, schnell aufgebaut und wenn man sich die aktuelle Software von der Homepage runtergeladen hat, dann kann man ihn auch problemlos mit dem Rechner verbinden und starten. Wirklich hervorragend sind die beiden Daumenhalter, die dazu dienen sie Seiten festzuhalten und im Nachgang (zumindest im Doppelseitenmodus) raus gerechnet werden. Wirklich sehr praktisch ist auch der Fußschalter, mit dem man den Scan auslösen kann, da beiden Hände beim Buchscan für die Fixierung der Seiten benötigt werden.
Schwächen hat der Scanner auf jeden Fall im Frabmodus, da auch das rausrechnen der Daumenhalter dann nicht immer klappt und sich ein Gelbstich einstellen kann und die Auflösung für Bildbände definitiv zu gering ist. Wer jedoch wie ich einfach eine kleine Bibliothek digitalisieren will, um entsprechende Literatur online zur Verfügung zu haben und den Graumodus wählt, der wird begeistert sein. Ein Buch mit 300 Seiten lässt sich in 30 Minuten bis ein bisschen Übung bewerkstelligen. Darauf achten sollte man, dass die Seite relativ weit oben angehalten wird und wenn man zu schnell scannt hat man ab und an fehlerhafte Seiten. Toll ist auch die Software und das OTC das auf einem professionellen Stand ist. Ich wähle in der Regel die OTC Ausgabe in Word, was den Vorteil einer sehr kleinen Datei hat, die im Nachgang noch bearbeitet werden kann und dann auch per Calibre in ein Kindle-Format übertragen werden kann. Die reinen PDF Dateien sind deutlich größer, man verhindert OTC Fehler aber auf dem Kindle kann dann keinerlei Anpassungen (Schriftgröße, Nutzung der Übersetzung etc.) vornehmen.
Fazit: Für normale Bücher auch große (mein Maximum waren 1000 Seiten) sehr gut geeignet, die Scanfunktion ist schnell und auch die Software (OTC) wirklich gut. Einen Stern Abzug gibt es für den Farbmodus, der unbefriedigend ist.

Partiamo dai lati positivi: - E' più veloce rispetto ad un normale scanner piano. - E' possibile scansionare anche libri molto spessi o antichi con la rilegatura che si rovinerebbe se posizionati su uno scanner piano - Dispone di serie di alcuni accessori molto utili come il pedale (che, lasciando le mani libere, velocizza le operazioni) e le luci addizionali laterali per ridurre i riflessi - Il software svolge alcune utili funzioni in automatico (come la separazione delle due pagine di un libro aperto o il raddrizzamento della scansione o la cancellazione delle dita che premono la pagina se vengono utilizzati gli appositi ditali gialli) anche se a volte non rileva correttamente le pagine.
Punti deboli: - La qualità della scansione è inferiore a quella ottenibile con uno scanner piano che costa 1/4 o meno (Ho inserito una immagine dove vengono appaiate una scansione ottenuta con questo dispositivo e una ottenuta con uno scanner piano). I problemi principali sono i riflessi, che si manifestano su molti tipi di carta, anche a prima vista non particolarmente lucida, e la resa delle immagini b/n o, ancora peggio, a colori. Forse è stato progettato per un uso principalmente testuale, visto che sulle pagine composte da solo testo funziona bene, ma in tal caso dovrebbe essere specificato meglio nella descrizione del dispositivo.
