Dacuda PocketScan
This ultra-compact wireless scanner, measuring just 3.75 x 2 x 1 inches, packs surprising capability into a tiny frame. Its photo-stitching technology lets you sweep the device across documents or artwork and have the stitched image appear instantly on your screen, giving a smooth, almost painted scanning experience. Intelligent recognition converts printed text and tables from many languages into editable on-screen content, so you can quickly repurpose paper documents. A built-in light ensures consistent, bright, high-contrast scans, and the scanner handles large formats — such as posters or artwork — that won’t fit in a conventional flatbed. Compatible with Windows, macOS, iOS and Android. $149.
