The VK16 is a versatile and highly accurate overhead book scanner, it’s a great ideal tool for tethering to your PC or laptop. With its built-in 16-megapixel sensor, you can take snapshots, magazines, books, documents, business cards, 3D objects and present them on a computer. All of your scanned images can be converted to PDF or editable Word/Excel/ePub/Txt files with its OCR function. Along with these great features, you can use the bundled OfficeCam scanning software with this smart device to get great results while scanning books. For example, it can automatically scan when the device detects a page being turned. The device also automatically digitally flattens curved pages, erases fingers from the scanned photos, repairs the damaged edges of documents, rotates pages based on text orientation, and automatically splits double-page into separate images.

01 / Book scanning
An overhead book scan captures open pages from above, so you can digitize bound material without cutting it apart.
Place the book on the scan pad, choose Book mode, and align the open pages in the preview.
Book-mode tools include curve flattening, finger-image removal, and page splitting.
Check each scan for missing edges and readable text before saving your finished document.
02 / OCR & digital documents
OCR turns captured text into searchable PDF or editable files. Find a passage later, reuse a quote, or organize a digital reference library.
Find recognized words inside a scanned document.
Export recognized content to Word, Excel, or text.
Proofread OCR text before using it in search, document analysis, or an AI tool that accepts your file format.
OCR recognition depends on source quality and layout. OCR is not a built-in AI assistant or a guarantee of compatibility with every AI service.
03 / Value that works harder
Choose for the work you do every day: digitize a book, make its text searchable, then use the same device to explain it live.
