We're in the process of scanning 48 bankers boxes of the MIT MULTICS archive. We'd like to get a decent high speed document scanner to make this process go easier. Can you help us with a donation? https://sdf.org
Once the scanning is complete all of these will be made available online for everyone.
Just released an update for Design Scanner, an app that’s doing surprisingly well in Asia for some reason. I’m a bit curious why it’s not performing as well in Europe, so giving it a little push here 
. Create 3D models or floor plans using the LiDAR on your iPhone. Not a single line of code written with AI, just a whole app built with care, love, and over 20 years of experience as a game developer.

@br00t4c that is nothing new.

Why is it that artist sketch book format is usually Arch A aka. 9x12" yet any scanner with a bed larger than 8.5x11" is at least $1,000 USD?
A DSLR is also way above my price range. I don't really know what to do. I'm tired of my crappy iPhone pictures poorly edited in Photoshop.
Artists of Mastodon, what's your setup to quickly digitize your analog media with ok quality?
What a PoS the official Epson scanner software for Linux is. It can't find its own scanner over the network, while all the other open and closed source scanning apps (e.g. VueScan) have no trouble doing so. Even by manually entering the IP, it won't connect to it.
Some things to consider that may complicate matters:
- technicians willingness to try (or also perhaps policies they may be required to follow regardless)
- relative size of patient + respirator and equipment tolerances (eg: MRI dimensions)
- other issues related to specific models of equipment (just a guess: I'm a #patient, not a #radiologist … I have no idea whether everything is completely standardised)

I'll admit my initial scanning of this headline had me going "Donald Duck is part of the debates now?"

Hmm, one of my solar controllers has Bluetooth enabled by default. Password was 000000.

Dear #photographers & visual #artists running #Linux, what are your tricks for #colour -accurate #scanning photo prints on consumer-grade gear (not a film/drum scanner)?
I have 3+ #scanners, all with wildly different #color results, as you can see below. At least 2 of them can scan directly over LAN (in Simple Scan).
Ideally I'd want #colormanagement / calibration of scans, ideally with "Simple Scan" (otherwise, how do you do it with XSane?). I have a ColorMunki spectrophotometer, if it helps.

@textfiles #Scanning #IveAlmostStarted I'm so overwhelmed with work my brain is nothing but ashes.
Anyone interested in #DIY #book #scanning rigs? There used to be a forum for it, but it hasn’t functioned for ages. Decent commercial book scanners cost a fortune, and the cheaper ones seem pretty lousy. But DIY book scanners can be intimidating when you see the kind of stuff out there. I need to scan books a lot, and hate doing it on an ordinary photo copier/scanner, because you have to push down hard on the spine to get a decent scan of the center of the page, which is obviously really bad for the book. Most DIY scanners consist of a V-shaped cradle, a V-shaped glass platen to hold the pages flat, arms to hold two cameras (on for each side of the book), and lighting. Some have levers to raise and lower the platen. (continued)
