Technology
Scan All Types of Documents—Especially Thick Books—with Ease
Aura's book curve-flattening technology captures facing pages without pressing the book flat, cutting the spine or removing the binding.
Exclusive Ingenuity
Proprietary Technology + AI Algorithm
Three laser lines measure the curve of an open book. Aura then reconstructs the page geometry and produces a naturally flattened image.
Imaging System
High-Performance Specs Ensure Exceptional Quality
A 14-megapixel HD CMOS sensor and dedicated 32-bit MIPS processor work together to capture clean, detailed scans.
Fast & Efficient
Just 2 Seconds per Page
Continuous capture helps turn books and paper archives into digital files quickly, while the laser guide supports reliable page detection.
Versatile Capture
Scan Anything Up to A3 in Size
Scan documents, drawings, contracts, notes, newspapers, books, photos and objects without changing the physical scanning setup.
AI Text Recognition
High Accuracy and Editable Formats
OCR supports more than 180 languages and converts captured pages to editable Word, Excel, searchable PDF, TIFF and image files.
Intelligent Automation
Auto-Detect Page Turns and Auto Scan
Hands-free capture can recognise a page turn and trigger the next scan; the included foot pedal offers an additional physical control.
