RE: Scanner Bin, scanning stand

[Cris Ali]

Hello Richard,
I wonder if you have the instruction on how to use the Fopydo scan stand in a 
text file? I bought this thing and have no idea how to use it effectively. Do I 
need a source of light? Where do you I position the lamp? How to extend the 
height, etc.
If you have the instruction I will extremely appreciate it.

Regards,

This sounds awesome! Is this the best scanner stand you guys have found? I 
think there was another one called danny boy or something like that? I think I 
recall that one being metal, but I never got it. Is this one cheaper? There may 
even be other stands, does anyone have an actual list? I'm finally going to 
purchase one, and I'd love to get a good one. thanks!

I learned recently about a new scanning stand called, ScannerBin.
I had been corresponding with the inventor and asked for instructions for the 
assembly that a person who is blind or low-vision could follow.  He did that.
I received it today and by following his instructions, assembled it on the 
first try.
It ends up being a cardboard bin that you can drop loose papers, receipts, 
whatever you want to scan eventually into and then turn it on one side with the 
square cut out on top; place your camera over that hole, and flatten things out 
on the bottom of the bin and scan away.
He provides a clear plastic sheet with a cut out in it to help keep pages flat 
if they were folded or wrinkled.
The cut out means the clear plastic shouldn’t produce glare that would mess up 
the scan.
I am duely impressed.
I added the following to my web site:

ScannerBin

Scanner Bin is a device that can double as a bin to store papers or receipts to 
be scanned, then turned on its side and used as a scanning stand.
I just received this new scanning stand, and assembled it without sighted 
assistance by following his video instructions for blind/visually impaired 
customers.
Its brilliant!
Common Uses:

• As a tool that enables the visually impaired to read letters
• Scan a stack of paper or a notebook in under a minute
• Scan receipts for returns, insurance records, HSA, FSA
• Students use it to digitize their notes
• Scan family pictures
• Real-estate agents complete deals from anywhere
• Professional drivers scan receipts right in their vehicle
• Professional organizers (NAPO) and their clients
• Property managers scan invoices
• Trade-show warriors
• Small business owners

Portable
Folds flat and weighs only 11 ounces.
Alignment Bumpers
Attach alignment bumpers to match your device to the Scanner Bin
Flat Sheet
The Flat Sheet is used to flatten your folded receipts and letters. The center 
cut
out eliminates glare from the camera flash and is useful for positioning 
documents.

RE: Scanner Bin, scanning stand

[Richard Turner]

Actually, you can disassemble the scanner bin to put in a pack back or brief 
case.
I just did it and it is rather easy.
The issue will be to keep the binder clip that holds it together when folded 
like when it arrives in the mail.
Since it is heavy duty cardboard, it can probably take a good number of 
disassembly and reassembly sessions.
Practicality is probably in the mind of the beholder, but since the scanner bin 
is basically a box lying on its side for scanning, it is less likely to get 
flipped over with a slight bump than the Fopydo stand.

Portability, the Fopydo stand is probably a little easier and being made out of 
corrugated plastic, probably a bit longer lasting; but not as solid when 
sitting on a desk/table.
It does fold up smaller than the Scanner bin.

I hope that helps.

Hello Richard,
Thanks for the info about the scanner bin. I actually saw it in Amazon a couple 
of weeks ago bot did not order it because it is not foldable and therefore i 
cannot carry in my backpack. I have a question for you though, compared to the 
fopydo scan, which one is more practical?
