Title. I got a hold of a couple books (one text, other,images) that I would like to make it available to others and the don't exists in digital format. Photos to PDF? Or something that converts IMG to text?

Usually I think of scanner like a photocopier, this sounds more like it takes a picture?

Well a photocopier takes a picture too ๐Ÿ˜‰

You know what I mean. So it's more of a camera than a scanner?

[-] albert180@feddit.de 2 points 2 years ago

Well it still has this Bright light like advancing. But the sensor is like 1m above the table. Honestly I don't know if this makes it more a camera or a scanner

My old uni library has 2 of those too. It's basically a fixed camera, but the table you set the book on, has a sort of negative nook that lets you level out the book. So no matter on which page you are, the pages on the book will be on the same level.
