Overhead scanners, also known as document scanners or book scanners, are scanners that capture images of documents, books, or other materials placed underneath them. Simply place your item underneath and the scanner will capture, like taking a photo.

They are extremely quick. With no moving parts, many models can capture in a matter of a few seconds. This makes scanning items with multiple pages (like books and magazines) quicker and easier. Just turn the page and capture.

Their overhead design also makes them ideal for scanning delicate and fragile items. While a flatbed would mean excessive manual handling, overhear scanners reduce the need to move and position the item. It makes it safer and kinder to items that would easily become damaged.

Many models also auto-process documents. They can detect page edges and deskew and crop the image to size. Models designed for book scanning can also resolve page curvature and spilt left and right page images. The results are documents ready to use and share.

Overhead scanners are also compact in size. They can be easily positioned as and where required such as on a desktop. Look out for features such as LCD preview screens so you can see what you are scanning away from the PC.

Another feature to look out for is models with OCR software included. This can make scanned images editable (text files for example) or searchable (such as PDFs). Find facts, names and more within seconds.

Easy to use, overhead scanners are ideal for both individual and multi-user groups. Use to scan books, magazines, drawings, notebooks and much more.
