Hi I'm about to build my first bookscanner. I will try to build something like the booksaver: http://www.google.com/imgres?hl=da&sa=X ... ,s:0,i:108
now my question is, when I've build it what software can I use to split the imeages into 2 pages?

Re: split imeages
hello XshulderX, I don't think you need to build one, because there is a similar product available in China currently. It is about 150 US dollars. But the cameras are only 5MP, I don't think it's enough to use for OCR. Anyway, I hope you can build yours.
Here is the link to the similar product for Book saver.

OCR?
Re: split imeages
ScanTailor is the answer.
Not very many designs do 2 pages in 1 image, but if you look through the build threads for these, you will find some good advice on the issues they face.
That $150 off the shelf unit is probably garbage. I very much recommend against it.

Re: split imeages
It's very useful to post sample images from the device, can you please do that for us when you have time, Tan?
Re: split imeages
The image quality does not scare me, however... Do I see correctly that the scanner offered at taobao does not have a platen? Does that mean that it could only scan thin magazines or do they have a solution to focusing?
Thanks for posting that!

Re: split imeages
Yes, they have platen, the seller didn't use the platen because of he/she didn't know how to use this kind of scanner, but the video on the website show the correct way.
