Interesting concept. However there are a few issues that surface quickly (this is all assuming a feed through scanner and not a flatbed).
#1 - It rotates AND scales to fit. It's not obvious until you rotate a stupid amount, but pages don't shrink when scanned for real.
#2 - The scanning rotation is way too uniform. Most scans twist a bit, typically near the top when more of the page is in the scanner to straighten it out.
#3 - With #2 there should be some stretching/skewing that isn't uniform.
#4 - The noise is way too uniform as well. It looks like static. Typical scanned documents have noise that is much more variable. You also get other scanning artifacts like streaks for dirt on the scan head.
#5 - The page ends often aren't even and introduce artifacting as well.
#6 - Needs an option for chewed up staple corner and/or holepunch.
- acchow 5y agoFunny, my scanner has software that automatically corrects for most of these errors to make it look as non-scanned as possible.
