Review #162557 about “IPEVO V4K Doc Cam”

Webcam: IPEVO V4K Doc Cam
Rating: Good (4 out of 5)
Date:

Advantages of the webcam:
Document Camera that can be used for Video Conferencing e.g. to write text on paper during online educational sessions.

Disadvantages of the webcam:
Basic Software is Provided for Video Conferencing only, e.g. Education. Book Scanning and OCR is not part of the package, but is available for an additional *subscription* fee. TWAIN driver is provided, however it is not working due to software bugs and flawed software design. Scannning depends on another IPEVO software called "Visualizer" that is provided for free, as well as the TWAIN driver. However, "Visualizer" freezes each time, at every single page when I try scanning via the TWAIN driver. I managed to scan only one A4 page so far. This is why I am looking for a workaround. I think it is not fair that I can only use this document camera as a special-purpose webcam and that I cannot use my document scanner for scanning if I only have the default software provided for the device.

Author’s comment:
The hardware of the IPEVO V4K Doc Cam is OK, however, the provided software is buggy and lacks scanning capabilities. OCR is only available for a subscription-fee from the same vendor.
