Ask HN: Can anyone recommend a high-quality document camera?

2 pointsdisqard4 comments

I'm looking for a setup to scan handwritten notes (A4 and index card sizes).

I'm not interested in a janky cardboard setup, and it should be somewhat compact (maybe foldable), to conserve desk space.

Ideally, it should:

* show up as a high-resolution webcam and work on any OS.

* capture 4k @ 30fps, so I can use it as a "live whiteboard" too.

Thanks in advance!

Use a flagship smartphone on a professional Italy-designed stand and look for a pro app owned by Big Tech? I'd start looking at Google's Pixel 7 based on what one respectable online reviewer has said about the camera.

Czur should do the job. https://czur.com/

Thanks for that suggestion!

I have seen this similar one in an office, the A3 version, though no idea if it fits the OP's requirements, the guy using it was happy about it, but he was scanning only paper receipts and similar :

there is also a cheaper A4 version:
