The latest STUDY GADGETS
AURA PRO SCANNER
FROM £294 / $279 WWW.CZUR.COM
The Aura Pro scanner is a great way to collect all the pages you need from a stack of textbooks and digitise them in seconds. Using ultra-fast laser scanning, this desktop device can scan textbook pages or sheets up to A3 in just two seconds. Even uneven surfaces aren’t a challenge for this scanner thanks to its book curve flattening technology. The technology uses three lasers to scan the pages of an open book, and with the help of some AI software produces a high-quality flattened image that doesn’t miss out any information. It even comes with a small viewing screen to preview your scan. The scan is saved as a JPEG, which can then be converted by the AI software into editable Word, Excel or PDF formats.
