[17:38] Just curious about the Book Drive (When you donate a book to the Internet Archive). I know it is free, and you can not expect deadlines, but how long (estimated) does it take a book to be scanned if it is donated that way? [18:21] Nemo_bis: Ops please [18:21] It can take years for a book to be scanned [18:21] Assuming it's unique [18:21] There are plans to ramp the scanning from roughly 300,000 a year to millions [18:22] Martini: also if it's not public domain it may not be visible for a long time. [18:22] i recommend you scan it yourself if you need it, you can always upload the scans to IA [18:22] i've done this many times and can provide guidance to make a usable scan [19:50] xmc, what do you recommend for scan. I don't have all the stuff that the IA has and with a flat bed scanner it is not nice to scan a book :) [20:15] 600 dpi, full color [20:16] tiff if you have the space, maximum quality jpeg otherwise [20:16] flatbed is unfortunately the way to do it [20:19] xmc: I haven't found any domestic technique to scan books that is on my budget. Specially for thick softcover books. [20:22] what is your budget [20:27] $100. [20:27] :) [20:30] What about this kind of scanners. Does it really works? https://www.amazon.com/Ipevo-Ziggi-HD-High-Definition-Document-CDVU-06IP/dp/B01530XGMA/ [20:30] i would not trust it [20:30] It is not like I'm trying to scan a historical document. Just something that can be read. [20:31] are you doing this a lot [20:31] how much do you care about the physical document [20:31] is it rare, what is it [20:33] It is not rare or historical. [20:34] I want to do it with some five books. [20:35] well given your constraints you have some shitty options [20:35] 1. flat bed scanner + 5 hours of flipping the book over and over [20:36] 2. digital camera on some kind of holder, which is what that wing thing is [20:36] 3. hire a copy/print shop to do #1 [20:36] 4. guillotine the spine off and use a sheetfeeder [20:38] I think it can be interesting #2. [20:38] that is the lowest quality [20:38] now to be fair [20:38] I will check for that "wing thing" or somekind of tripod arm. [20:38] i scanned a 300 page book in 90 minutes with #1 [20:39] i was talking about the ziggi widget [20:39] The issue with #1 is that I need a bigger flatbed scanner. [20:39] you can scan page at a time instead of spread at a time [20:40] the big constraint in that is time per scan [20:45] Any recommendations on the scan software? [20:47] vuescan is good i think [20:54] I will also give it a try.
