iConvert Portable Document and Photo Scanner

I purchased this scanner to use while traveling to scan documents and photos quickly. I was hoping for something to give me archival scans of historical documents. The scanner is simple to operate and I'm happy with the quality of the scans. I rated this scanner 5 stars because I would certainly recommend it to anyone looking for a hand-held portable scanner; however, you will also want to consider your own skill at holding the scanner steady while moving it across a page. Although I haven't used the scanner a lot yet (and perhaps more practice will help) I'm struggling with that. I'm trying to devise a way to move the scanner smoothly across the page while at the same time holding the document or photo securely. It's particularly difficult with smaller items. If you are rock-steady and precise, I'm sure you will have excellent results.

Bottom line -I'm very happy with the scanner itself. I will definitely take it with me when traveling, however at home I will use my flatbed scanner. If you are considering a purchase, just consider your own dexterity as well.

The overall design of the scanner is great, it is small, portable, and just looks great overall. However, the quality of the scans are sub-par. I have tried it on each of the settings and on both resolutions and none produce a fine quality scan. The quality of the scanned document is poor and difficult to read. The file sizes are large so you would assume they are high quality. They are large files but essentially just a waste of space. The OCR is Abbyy Fine Reader which is able to produce quality OCR, but it doesn't make up for the low grade scans.

Buy iConvert Portable Document and Photo Scanner Now

I bought this scanner because I frequently need to make copies when I am away from my office. There sometimes is not a copier available. It was very easy to set up including the clock which shows the date and time the document was copied. Now I carry it in my attache case and when a copy is needed, I get it out and run it over the document(s). When I get back to the office, I use the USB cable to hook it to my computer, click on "computer". then Drive F and there are all the documents. I then print them and put them in the file. I was so impressed with the scanner that I bought one for a CPA friend and he is equally impressed. The one problem that I have had is that the instructions state that you can scan a document into the computer and make changes to it (such as an invoice or other document that has blanks to fill in). The instructions do not tell you how to convert the document so that changes can be made to it. The instructions could be better. I have been unable to figure out how to do that. I am not a compputer expert so I may be able to get someone to show me how. I highy recommend this scanner.
