Throughput benchmarking, jam recovery, OCR accuracy, and cloud filing success.

About

I build and maintain our scanner test bench, timing everything from warm-up to the first searchable PDF in your cloud.

Core Beliefs

If a scanner doesn't shrink real time-to-digital, it's not fast.

Background

At a tax season pop-up, two 'fast' scanners hit the table. I timed how long each turned a shoebox of creased receipts into correctly named PDFs in Drive, with misfeeds and double-feeds included. The slower spec sheet won by fifteen minutes and zero rescans.

Perspective

I favor devices that maintain speed under messy, mixed originals while preserving OCR fidelity.
