The CZUR Aura Pro is a folding 14 MP book scanner that doubles as a desk lamp, built so a patron can scan their own pages at a study carrel instead of queuing at the copier. It takes an A3 single sheet or an A4 bound book, scans at 240 dpi in about 2 seconds, and weighs 1.5 kg.
It isn't a cheaper ET Max. I'd pitch it for a different job: a row of them, one per carrel, with a foot pedal so both hands stay on the book.
For a student who needs a chapter, yes. A copier charges per page, jams, has a queue, and does nothing useful with the file afterwards. The Aura Pro scans from above with the foot pedal and saves a searchable PDF, Word, Excel, TIFF or JPG file.
It connects by USB 2.0 to a Windows or macOS (10.13+) computer, so each carrel needs one. A coin-operated copier is the thing to replace, and that's where I'd start the conversation.
No. Three laser lines flatten the curve of a bound page in software, so nothing presses on the spine. Finger removal is built in too. It handles books up to 16 mm thick at A3 and 30 mm thick at A4.
It's the honest trade against the ET Max. 14 MP at 240 dpi is fine for a student scanning a chapter. It isn't what I'd choose for a rare volume you only want to digitize once, and for that job I'd point you to the CZUR ET Max, which is 38 MP at 410 dpi.
OCR is ABBYY in 180+ languages, the same kind of recognition the ET Max uses, so the files are searchable either way.
Both. When nobody is scanning, the Aura Pro is a desk lamp with four brightness levels, which is why it earns a permanent spot on a carrel that a scanner alone wouldn't. The box has the scanner, a side light, a foot pedal, a document pad, finger cots and a power adapter.
Whoever owns the study spaces usually isn't the same person who owns technical services, so ask who actually gets the budget line before you quote. You can also browse our products or the industries we serve page.
What size and thickness of book can the Aura Pro scan? An A3 single sheet or an A4 bound book. Thickness limits are 16 mm at A3 and 30 mm at A4. Three laser lines flatten the page curve so the binding isn't pressed.
Does the Aura Pro work as a desk lamp? Yes. When it isn't scanning, it's a desk lamp with four brightness levels. That's why it works on a carrel where a scanner alone might not earn the desk space.
How many languages does the OCR support? 180+, through ABBYY OCR. Files save as searchable PDF, Word, Excel, TIFF or JPG.
Which computers does it work with? Windows and macOS 10.13 or later, connected by USB 2.0. Each scanner needs its own computer, so plan one per carrel.
What comes in the box? The scanner, a side light, a foot pedal, a document pad, finger cots and a power adapter. The foot pedal lets a patron keep both hands on the book.
