The handheld Magic Wand Portable Scanner With Wi-Fi (Black) from VuPoint scans documents, photos, newspapers, and virtually any smooth surface onto a microSD card. With a scan area of up to 8.35x98.0" (at 300 dpi), the scanner can store any letter or legal size document or image. For higher quality results, the scanner can be set to 900 dpi resolution. Take the portable scanner with you to the library and scan what you need for later, no need to waste paper or money on photocopies. When you get home, simply connect the scanner to your computer via Wi-Fi or the supplied USB cable and transfer your scans. If you scanned a text document, once your file is on the computer, you can use the included OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert any printed material into editable text (Windows only).
The scanner runs on 2 AA batteries so you can easily replace them when they run out; no need to carry a charger around with you. Using standard AA batteries, the scanner can perform approximately 200 scans. The LCD displays the device's status and other important info. The scanner weighs only 6.9 oz (including the batteries) and measures 10x1.2x1.0", making it a great way to store documents and photos on the go.

Comments about VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner With Wi-Fi (Black):
If it was used with the flat scanner board that I had gotten with it, it may have worked fine. I was scanning an open book and no matter how slow or what setting I had put it on, I could not get a clear print out. It had shadows all over the place and a lot of blurry spots. When I copied the outer firmer cover of the book, the picture came out a lot better. So for what I needed it for, it didn't work, but I can't down it if it is used in other ways like with the board that is made for it, with a separate sheet out of a book. The construction of it was great.
