What makes the scanning process fast and sets BookDrive apart from the competition is our software.
Every BookDrive comes with BookDrive Capture and BookDrive Editor Pro software. It's pretty much all you need.
BookDrive Capture
BookDrive Capture is the application that controls the cameras. It supports a wide range of Canon EOS SLR cameras and allows you to change camera settings from directly within the software.
Press one button and the twin cameras will shoot left and right pages and render them on screen immediately. You will have a true left page and a true right page just like the originals. Learn More

Fast shooting
The cameras capture both left and right pages at the same time. Each shot takes less than a second to photograph. This allows you to capture up to 800 pages an hour. -
RAW support
BookDrive supports the RAW format or the uncompressed, unprocessed pixel information straight from the camera's image sensor. A full RAW workflow lets you capture, post-process and convert RAW files to other lossless formats such as TIFF. -
In-software camera settings

Easy insert and replace
You can easily insert missing pages which have been skipped or if some shots look bad, you can replace them with new ones. No need to worry about file names because the software will name the inserted files and rename all the effected files correctly. -
Timed Lapse Capture
The timed lapse capture is available so that the cameras can be triggered to shoot automatically at every pre-defined intervals of 1-10 seconds. Users simply flick through the pages. -
Metadata
The metadata of the books such as title, author's name and year published can be recorded in a standard compliant XML file for future use in search and record keeping.
