That whisker/finger thing for the page is interesting, wonder if it ever accidentally moves more than 1 page

That's unavoidable, the question is, how does it handle it?

Clearly it licks a finger

Is this new? I remember doing an essay on it some 15 years ago.

It's their latest version. Per their web site, TREVENTUS won the "European Union "ICT Grand Prize 2007" for the invention of its automatic book scanner ScanRobot® and received an award of €200,000."

600 or 300 dpi?

It's an ad for an established corporate product.
It'd be cool if it were homebrew, mumbled text as it scanned, and said "Input! More input!" periodically. Sadly, this ain't it.

"FEED ME" boomed a voice from the back of the library. The reference librarian, used to it by now, doesn't even look up from her work.

It keeps calling everyone "Seymour" for some strange reason.

Fairly confident I can do this…grabs calculator…no, I can do about half, 1200 pages per hours. My trick: Phone on tripod, scanning app with ‘auto’ shutter function and a piece of clear acrylic to flatten the pages. Snap two pages at the same time, lift acrylic, flip page, snap, takes about 3sec per spread.
