This is Crowdsourcing Weekends! This post highlights three different crowdsourcing projects I liked from Kickstarter, Indiegogo, or other crowdsourcing websites.

They believe that Scanner should be faster, easier and smarter; they believe that one scanner can scan not only pages but also books; they believe that technology shouldn’t be minorities’ privilege. So they redesign the scanner and spend almost 3 years to make the dream come true. Czur is the world’s first true smart scanner and highest cost performance. Czur can scan books easily and connect to WiFi. Czur is faster than any scanner in the world, and also is a video projector. Czur can be used in your home and office.                 

Equipped with 16 million pixels and creative algorithm, Czur can make scanning books as easy as turning pages. The most difficult problems including flattening curve, erasing fingerprint, smart edge-cutting have been solved. Czur is the highest cost performance book scanner in the world.  Through the powerful function of image processing and computing ability, we improve the scanning speed for about 20 times compared with the traditional scanner. Using Czur, you can scan everything in office including files, contracts, vouchers etc.

As of October 10th, this project has raised around $15,000 of their $20,000 goal. This project only has 44 days left to raise the $20,000 or it might not be funded! For a pledge of $179, you will get one C-zur Scanner.  For a pledge of $199, you will get one C-zur Scanner and foot pedal.  To learn more and to pledge money, go to:  https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/c-zur-scanner-build-your-own-digital-library#/
