They work ok, but are fiddly. I think OP is looking for something more bulletproof with a better workflow.
Come to think of it a frame with a black base and an overhead light incorporating a phone holder would likely do the trick well.
- abdullahkhalids 6y agoIt will technically work. But do you think a student who still wants to appear "cool" is going to whip out the contraption you mention in front of their peers? There is more to solutions to problems than the technological possibilities.
- ska 6y agoSure, but that applies at least as much to the original solution. And this seems more of a 'on my desk at home' sort of problem space than a 'whip it out of my bag' sort.
- porknubbins 6y agoHaving built a lot of rpi projects bulletproof is the last word that comes to mind though. I mean the software end is usually fine if the sd card doesn’t get corrupted but building physically robust devices is a serious challenge.
- ska 6y agoAgreed; to me the problem isn't the phone and imaging part (which replacing with rpi will probably just make worse) but the lighting and geometry. On top of that a purpose-built workflow might be nice, compared to something like scanner-pro. tailored to emailing assignments to your profs or whatever.
