We bought a CZUR ET24 Pro. Quite a bit more expensive than other models. It claimed that it would support Linux. <https://shop.czur.com/products/etscanner> I installed the supplied-to-me RPM using "rpm --force". It seems to work. (I only scanned the junk on the desktop where the scanning mat will go.) | From: Kevin Cozens via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | If it helps I found a page from two years ago where some asked about using a | CZUR scanner. That page said they had installed and ran the Windows software | using Wine but the driver was still an issue. Right. If it worked, that might be the best way. Apparently the scan under MacOS (and probably under Windows) has better OCR than under Linux. Grr. At least if Stephen Wilkinson's review on the product page is correct. | That page pointed to a web page | from four years earlier that said it is a UVC device. We have earlier CZUR scanners which are UVC at a lower resolution than the proprietary scanning software sees. | The scanner has no support in XSane? Not that I've seen. | Is there any support for it in VueScan? I don't know VueScan. | From: Lennart Sorensen via talk <talk@gtalug.org> | Subject: Re: [GTALUG] Borked Python setup, please help | I see people claiming many CZUR scaners are just UVC devices, and that | there exists programs that can capture from that, like guvcview and a | few others. It strangely does sound like it is actually more of a video | camera than a scanner. They are visible as UVC, but I think that the full resolution isn't what a UVC driver sees. I have not tested this particular model. The other thing is that CZUR has put a lot of effort into optimizing the scanning process. Perhaps some of that also exists in mobile phone camera scanner apps. - puts red reference lines (from LEDs) on the page to figure out and correct for page curvature - (optionally) combines scanning and OCR - a workflow to speed up multipage scanning - little tools to put on your finger to hold down page edges. The software edits these out of the picture. - quite good resolution for the task - various lights to try to avoid glare. | Maybe your model is something else? This model claimed Linux support. We had an earlier one that we liked but we didn't like having to boot Windows and later having to ship the result to the Linux machine. Every step in the workflow is a tax. We'll see if the Linux software is good enough. Eventually.
