Book Scanning Reimagined: Foldable Scanner Arrives

CamScanner has introduced the Apex 1 Pro, a portable scanner designed to bridge the gap between office scanners and app-based solutions. This device operates standalone, powered by an octa-core processor, and performs AI image correction locally. It captures documents up to tabloid size with its 32-megapixel camera, supporting over 50 languages with OCR. Files can be saved to microSD or transferred via USB-C, NFC, or Bluetooth to the CamScanner app for further editing. Connectivity options include USB-C, microSD, NFC, and Bluetooth, with export options for JPG, Word, Excel, TXT, and PDF. The Apex 1 Pro weighs just 1.32lb and includes a 2000mAh battery, making it highly portable for use in various locations without a dedicated mat. Its unique capability allows for scanning bound books without damaging the spine. The device automatically detects page turns, removes fingers and shadows, flattens curved pages, and splits facing pages. CamScanner states it can scan up to 40 pages per minute, handling capture and cleanup autonomously. The Apex 1 Pro was launched on Kickstarter with a week-one early bird price of $359, with shipping estimated for February 2027.
