Both my Android phone and digital camera have that facility but on both it
only seems to work well in good strong light (i.e. outdoors). Even my (A4)
scanner's software has a "join" function which tries to make one big scan of
two smaller ones, but it always looks bad. Never seems to scan with the same
brightness and contrast twice, so the join looks awful even when aligned.
Anyway, I took Bryan's suggestion and found that there are indeed a couple
of Freecycle groups around here, and I tried Froogle for the first time
which compares best prices plus I found one or two second user equipment
sites which I'll look into when I get time.
Would be nice if QPC2 could link to these TWAIN devices like scanners in
some way - if the hooks were there it might be possible to write QL software
to do these tasks. Obviously, I have no idea of what TWAIN is like to work
with, people like Marcel might well give me a piece of their mind for even
daring to suggest it!
