Learn about the revolutionary role of book scanners in modern libraries, or in other words, the power of knowledge digitized from ScannX, Inc.
It’s late in the evening at the university library. Fluorescent lights cast a dull glow onto stacks of books. Students hunch over their laptops, hard at work on research papers. One stressed student, hair a mess and eyes bloodshot, frantically flips through the five books before her when she finally finds the perfect citation. She excitedly goes to the library’s user-friendly book scanner and swiftly scans and saves the essential passages. As the scanner sends the critical pages to her cloud project folder, her anxiety fades, replaced by the calm certainty of a scholar with the tools to succeed.
The needs of librarians, students, and archivists have dramatically changed in recent years, and it is necessary that the technology they use also evolves accordingly.
Book scanners, once considered a luxury, have become a necessity. Traditional copiers no longer meet the demands of today’s researchers, who require fast, accurate, and versatile tools to succeed. By keeping up-to-date with the latest technology, libraries can ensure that they remain an essential resource for researchers, students, and historians.
At the forefront of this transformation are ScannX BookEdge and Overhead scanners, GDPR-compliant marvels revolutionizing the scanning experience for academic and public libraries, government agencies, and K-12 schools worldwide.
ScannX offers a broad range of cost-effective book scanning solutions recognized with LibraryWorks MLA Awards for product innovation and customer support for ten consecutive years. However, the real magic of these scanners is the intelligent operating software that delivers an unparalleled user experience.
ScannX Book ScanCenter software makes content scanning a breeze for everyone
Patrons, students, interlibrary loan experts, archive specialists, and even visually impaired users. The software’s intuitive touchscreen and user-centric design effortlessly guide individuals through the scanning process, simplifying the capture and digitization of content.
Book scanning software beyond the ordinary
ScanCenter’s features shine brightest after the scanning phase. Automatic image cropping, straightening, orientation adjustments, auto-splitting of pages, and book curve correction for overhead scanner users ensure each scan attains precision akin to a masterpiece. The software offers editing tools post-scanning, empowering users to refine each image to perfection.
Versatility in Digital Conversion
ScanCenter’s expansive range of output options is unparalleled in the industry. It can convert scans to various document formats such as PDF, Searchable PDF, PDF/A-1a, PDF/A-1b, Encrypted PDF, and Docx (Word).

Scanning security is paramount
Notably, the software never retains scanned content or personal details. ScannX solutions are an excellent choice for libraries required to comply with GDPR. The ScannX Book ScanCenter Software’s robust security framework guarantees the utmost protection of user data with advanced authentication options, including SMTP, AD, LDAP, PIN Code, CAS, and 2Factor Authentication, further bolstering its safety credentials.
