How well would this work for large deed books that might require 12 scans per page, when you need dozens of pages?

It should work very well but I wouldn't want to do it regularly because of the extra time involved. I try to use a bigger scanner and only stitch if absolutely no other way. Everything I've stitched so far turned out very good though. I have since started using Microsoft ICE to do the stitching. Works better for me than the one supplied by Flip-Pal.

Any book pages are larger than 4x6, so I don't think this is a good document scanner.

I may have mentioned in my review that the Flip Pal is smarter than I am. I didn't try hard to line up each scan, but the Flip Pal stitched the 9 scans together beautifully. So the Flip Pal CAN do it. Now if you're worried about the capacity, you could always have a second chip ready, but the one holds a lot. I scanned over 100 photos and still had room for more.

I've only used the Flip-Pal a few times so far, for much smaller applications than you describe, and have been very pleased with the results. I'm sure it would work fine for your project, although it would be slow-going. The "stitching" process is amazing.

I've never tried this, but there are instructions on how to "stitch" smaller scans together.

Yes I am pretty sure it will. I have scanned pages in thick books with good results.

I think it would be a lot of effort if you wanted to copy very many pages. But for a short passage or two, it should be fine.

Not sure. It's not exactly fast, but I suppose that's subjective in comparison to other scanners. I'm no expert, but would estimate possibly 5-10 seconds a page.

That is correct. No need to feed 1 page at a time. It will scan multiple pages. I just don't know how many pages can be scanned. All the pages will be scanned in one file and not one file per scan.

Pretty good. Can do single or multiple page scans. Quality choices are okay.

No! A 12 x 12 could be scanned in 2 passes. The scanner window measures approx 8-1/2". We make several passes on large ledger sheets.

It works just fine. You would place the scanner on the book, with the top taken off and move it around the book page. Depending on how big the old book is will determine how many times you have to move the scanner. One thing I learned the hard way was that I didn't overlap the scanned pieces enough at the beginning and the stitching software couldn't put it into a whole piece. Otherwise I have taken this with me on my genealogy quests with great satisfaction. Only problem, as I've mentioned before is the battery dependence. Bring extra memory cards or have the ability to download from the little card. Without a card or battery, it doesn't work.

It does multi-page scanning, but I haven't figured out how to get the multiple pages into one document. I don't use the fax, but I tried it out, and it works fine.

That is not why I use the scanner. However, the scanner can scan that type of paper and a skinnier width. The issue may be with the continuous nature of the roll (unless you are talking about single receipts, then it can definitely handle it).

This is a good casual scanner, I've tried often to do multi-page documents and find it to be more trouble than it is worth - I then go to my multifunction printer which has a scanner. If you anticipate a lot of multipage documents, I would not suggest this unit, though it can do it, it is just a painful process to get it to work adequately.

In concept, it will work. The tough part is that there is no way to control how large you scan area is. If your text is small, the scanned area could be several lines high. I found recognition somewhat unpredictable when I tried to use this for receipts.

thats why i bought it. you can do it. it is not as fast as some other scanners. took me a while to figure out how to make a multiple page pdf.the quality of the scan is good. it is not as quick as it could be. also you have to perform all operations through the computer. it is not wireless. i would look for a scanner that has a single button to scan and s wireless. my next scanner will have that.

I don't know. I used it for a wedding ceremony book. It had enough pages for the couple's name and date of ceremony, signature pages for the bridesmaids and groomsmen as well as enough pages for the ceremonyand pages for signing by the guests. I would think 12-14 pages is close.

Yes. The scanning function works really well for multiple and 2-sided documents scanned to a single file.

I have only scanned less than a hundred and it has done a good job. It is a slow process so good luck scanning thousands of pictures.
