FAQs - Technical
-
What software is included in the package?
Every BookDrive comes with 1 license of BookDrive Capture and 1 license of BookDrive Editor Pro software.
-
Is there an OCR function or OCR software included?
No, it is not. We do not bundle OCR software because there are many great OCR software in the market to choose from. Each customer prefers different brand and may require different language so we let the users do the choosing instead.
The output from BookDrive will work great with all OCR programs in the market such as ABBYY FineReader and Nuance OmniPage.
-
Windows only? Does it work on a Mac?
Atiz software works on Windows only (7 32-bit and 64-bit, Vista and XP). Mac and Linux OS are not supported. You can however use Mac hardware (e.g. Mac mini, etc.) to install Windows through Bootcamp and run Atiz software on it.
-
What is the DPI of my image?
In the context of scanning, DPI or PPI is the pixel density of an image or specifically "by how many PIXELS PER INCH is my document being recorded?".
To calculate for the DPI (pixel density) of your document being photographed by a camera, divide the number of pixels in length and width by the document length and width in inches.
For example, if you use a Canon 5D Mark II cameras (5616 x 3744 pixels) to scan an A4 paper (11.69" x 8.27") equals:
= 5616 / 11.69 and 3744 / 8.27
= 480.41 and 452.72So the true DPI of this scanned image is 452 DPI (use the lower number).
For convenience, you can use our DPI calculator here: www.atiz.com/dpi
-
What kind of maintenance is required?
Maintenance is very low. BookDrive is a steel platform with software and minimal electronics (except the easily replaceable Canon cameras). Few moving parts so the chance of the steel platform to break is slim. The only major maintenance required is cleaning dusts off the glass.
-
