【 摘 要 】

Preserving books and documents have become a hectic problem for today's world. Most of the documents and books were discarded due to insufficient physical storage and lots of maintenance. To overcome this problem, digitization of documents has become an important technology. The technical challenge is to realize an easy to use, high quality and high speed scanning system. The prototype is scanning large stacks of paper without using any human effort to flip pages i.e. it is using robotic arm to flip pages. The prototype is designed within small budget, to scan the standard size book i.e. (12 inches height and 9.5 inches wide), then converting the texts which are in human readable form to computer-readable digital image.
