Scanning Services

Austin County Media offers scanning services for all kinds of print media. 

Do you have stacks of books, magazines, photos or documents that you’d love to transfer to a digital medium?  Would you like to be able to make those print items searchable so you could find particular passages or verses in them?  What about colored documents that you can’t risk getting bent?  Let us help you clear out that clutter while keeping them for your own use whenever you need them.  Our scanning services will help convert your items to a digital format so they can be viewed on your computer, tablet or cell phone.  Are your book pages brown with age?  Not to worry, we can adjust the tint to allow for the digital pages to be crisp black and white just like they came off the printer. 

Curve Flatten Technology

 

Our scanner and software  utilize a revolutionary AI algorithm to straighten book curves.  The scanner shoots 3 laser lines, which are harmless, to analyze the contours of an open book or bound document, the AI calculates the page curve of the materials, and finally outputs a flattened page.  This allows us to digitize entire books without unbinding them
