Re: Using Scanjig with KNFB Reader

[Dacia Cole]

Hi,

I am very interested in learning how to use this product as well as I
was recently given one as a gift.  Thanks for any help anyone can
provide.

RE: The ScanJig

[Richard Petty]

If the wire does brace the Device Holder, as far as I can tell, it would then 
be out of alignment with the document shelf. The document shelf is almost 
vertical on my unit. Is there another position for it? I’m concerned about 
forcing it to open further.{ What am I missing?

That metal stand is there to brace the device holder when you use a tablet, at 
least, that is my conclusion. It doesn't do much with the weight of an iPhone. 
But put an iPad or an Android tablet on the device holder, and the metal stand 
will help steady the holder.

OK, I now have seen what I consider the Cadillac of stands.



I got the ScanJig at work Monday.  I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup
instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it
together.

I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together.  It didn't take more
than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help.

There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it
in 2.



The ScanJig costs $30.00.

It is made from hard plastic.  It is a bit thicker than the other stands but
it looks way more durable.

It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick.  

The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to
a tablet.

It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less
likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the
maximum of the room light or use the flash.  There are no lights needed on
the device itself.



There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at
various distances from the Document Shelf.  On the Device Holder, is a
little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet.  There are 10
adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at
the document.

I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is
11.5 inches from the document was the best position.  I also found that if I
put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can
get the entire document even if it has narrow margins.

There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you
get the position where you want it.

There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for
example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so
it holds it steady.



It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or
the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad
to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge.  Not to
mention it is made out of much stronger material and at a great price.



I'm going to paste the setup instructions below and also the link to their
web site.

Product Description:  


   The ScanJig is designed

Re: The ScanJig

[Richard Turner]

Both the device holder and the document shelf should be at an angle. When you 
open the ScanJig, that lid, which is also the document holder, should open so 
that it is leaning back at an angle.
Then, when you put the device holder in one of the four slots, it should be at 
a similar angle. If you examine the four slots very carefully, you will notice 
that there is a sloped slot that will have the device holder leaning toward the 
document holder and the metal stand will be slightly angled away from the 
device holder, much like some picture frames that are designed to sit on a 
desk. 
If you have either holder standing verticle, it isn't setup correctly.
I'd suggest calling them if my attempt at describing this isn't making sense.
I'm on vacation  the ScanJig is in my office. So, I don't have it here to give 
any better description.

Richard

ScanJig Set-up Instructions

 


Product Description:  


The ScanJig is designed for easy tactile positioning of both a
smart device and documents for correct focus,  alignment and field of view.


Once set up - the stand holds smart phones or tablets in a
vertical portrait orientation and at an angle where the  device's touch
screen interface is facing the user. The stand can also hold a document, in
the same vertical  portrait orientation, and angle, directly behind the
smart phone or tablet.  

The device holder can be adjusted to position your device's rear
lens to point directly at the center of the  document.  

Once the device is positioned in the optimum location, stops can
be applied to lock in this position. Then your  phone or tablet can easily
be placed in the same spot for each use.  

The product's open design takes advantage of ambient light and
helps avoid shadows. Further the device flash is  completely unobstructed if
this feature is needed.  

 


What is stored inside the ScanJig  


*   1 - Smart Device Holder and Device Shelf - the device will sit
on the shelf.  

*   2 - Document Clips - to better hold creased documents or small
items.  

*   4 - Peal and Stick Device Stops - after your mobile device is

RE: The ScanJig

[Richard Petty]

Although I was able to finally move forward through the site after several 
attempts, I had one unexpected occurrence of which others might be mindful. 
Apparently the producer is offshore and the shipping charge is a full $10, even 
for this lightweight device. I made my purchase through PayPal and, as far as I 
could tell, this shipping charge is not identified prior to purchase. I 
certainly could have missed it, but thought I was reviewing the pages 
carefully. In the purchase process, there is an unidentified 10 Percent charge, 
which is $3.00, which is added to the purchase price. It shows up as X3% on the 
order page.

Try using alt down arrow to open the combo box so it won't activate when you 
scroll it.

RE: The ScanJig

[Richard Petty]

An update. I received the following message from the ScanJig people:

 

“Richard Turner forwarded a question that you had posted about the calculation 
of shipping costs for the ScanJig. I looked at the order you entered. The 
shipping cost should be $6.00 to your location in Texas.  It appears that you 
may have selected another country during the checkout process.  This resulted 
in a $10.00 charge instead.  We will refund the difference ($4.00) via PayPal.”

 

I appreciate the refund from the seler and thanks to Richard for forwarding my 
list note. I had not received a response to a message I wrote the producer 
immediately after the order, so this is a good indication that a forward from a 
list can sometimes help move things along.

Although I was able to finally move forward through the site after several

Apparently the producer is offshore and the shipping charge is a full $10, even 
for this lightweight device. I made my purchase through PayPal and, as far as I 
could tell, this shipping charge is not identified prior to purchase. I 
certainly could have missed it, but thought I was reviewing the pages 
carefully. In the purchase process, there is an unidentified 10 Percent charge, 
which is $3.00, which is added to the purchase price. It shows up as X3% on the 
order page. 

 

In the end, the total of $13.00 in additional charges might not have stopped my 
purchase, but I would have wanted to know beforehand .

Re: The ScanJig

[Deb Lewis]

Once you find the correct country you must tab to leave the combo box. 
Otherwise, you’ll select another country as you’ve pointed out. That was the 
ultimate way after probably thirty attempts. 
This is also available on Amazon but without the holiday discount so it will be 
about $5 more. The secret though for both windows and mac is to tab out of that 
combo box. And, you must select a country as someone else pointed out. Also in 
the checkout you must select a state but that combo box works much better.

Re: The ScanJig

I find that the i...@scanjig.com is the best address to use to get in touch 
with ScanJig.
From my main email account, this one I'm writing from, if I write to their 
support address, it bounces back.
But, I think he still gets the messages... I am not sure.
I find them very responsive and dedicated to making this an excellent product.

In my experience, you always tab out of a combo box to have it save your

Yes, some work with enter, but they always work when you tab out of it.

Re: The ScanJig

[Deb Lewis]

What was a little disconcerting about this one though was that if you did make 
a mistake and select the wrong country, the combo box would disappear and you 
couldn’t correct it. the only saving grace is that the browser cleared the chat 
if i closed it so I could start over, but I think the disappearance was the 
only thing that really phased me for a while. I haven’t seen this one but 
agreed with your assessment of the others, so I’m sure i’ll be more pleased 
with this.

Re: The ScanJig

[Eileen Misrahi]

Hi Richard,

Since the Scan Jig uses the light source from the iPhone or iPad, do you still 
get accurate scans when using the Scan Jig? That's one of the advantage of the 
StandScan Pro with the built-in LED lights. I am intrigued with the 
construction of the Scan Jig and the ability to change the height on the

RE: The ScanJig

[Richard Turner]

It uses the room light first, but if the light is too dim, if you have the 
flash set to automatic, it  will work just fine.

I got 100 percent accuracy on what I had time to test.

 

I’m on vacation now until January 5.  I’ve thought about going into the office 
and bringing it home to test in different environments, but I’ve not taken that 
step as yet.

 

If I do, I will certainly let folks know.

 

It is more likely that I won’t do any further testing until January.

 

I hope that helps,

Richard

Hi Richard,

 

Since the Scan Jig uses the light source from the iPhone or iPad, do you still 
get accurate scans when using the Scan Jig? That's one of the advantage of the 
StandScan Pro with the built-in LED lights. I am intrigued with the 
construction of the Scan Jig and the ability to change the height on the 
position of the iPhone. I would appreciate some feedback on the scan accuracy 
before considering purchasing the product. 

 

Thanks in advance.

 

Cheers,

Eileen

Re: The ScanJig

[Richard Turner]

Dan, 
Here is an updated version of my original message that started this thread in 
answer to your question.




OK, I now have seen what I consider the Cadillac of stands.

I got the ScanJig at work Monday.  I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup
instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it
together.

I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together.  It didn't take more
than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help.

There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it
in 2.

The ScanJig costs $39.95  plus $6.00 shipping in the US. I think it is well 
worth it.   

It is made from hard plastic.  It is a bit thicker than the other stands but
it looks way more durable.

It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick.  

The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to
a tablet.

It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less
likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the
maximum of the room light or use the flash.  There are no lights needed on
the device itself.



There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at
various distances from the Document Shelf.  On the Device Holder, is a
little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet.  There are 10
adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at
the document.

I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is
11.5 inches from the document was the best position.  I also found that if I
put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can
get the entire document even if it has narrow margins.

There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you
get the position where you want it.

There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for
example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so
it holds it steady.



It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or
the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad
to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge.  Not to
mention it is made out of much stronger material.

ScanJig Set-up Instructions

 


Product Description:  


The ScanJig is designed for easy tactile positioning of both a
smart device and documents for correct focus,  alignment and field of view.


Once set up - the stand holds smart phones or tablets in a
vertical portrait orientation and at an angle where the  device's touch
screen interface is facing the user. The stand can also hold a document, in
the same vertical  portrait orientation, and angle, directly behind the
smart phone or tablet.  

The device holder can be adjusted to position your device's rear
lens to point directly at the center of the  document.  

Once the device is positioned in the optimum location, stops can
be applied to lock in this position. Then your  phone or tablet can easily
be placed in the same spot for each use.  

The product's open design takes advantage of ambient light and
helps avoid shadows. Further the device flash is  completely unobstructed if
this feature is needed.  

 


What is stored inside the ScanJig  


*   1 - Smart Device Holder and Device Shelf - the device will sit
on the shelf.  

*   2 - Document Clips - to better hold creased documents or small
items.  

*   4 - Peal and Stick Device Stops - after your mobile device is
positioned the stops help hold it in place and  provide an easy way to
quickly use the same position again.  

*   2 - Thin peal and stick spacers - if needed, these can be placed
under your device for fine adjustment.  

 


Initial Set-Up  


 

1 Lift up on the latch at the front end of the ScanJig and open the cover
all the way until it stops. The inside of  the cover is the Document Bed
with a shelf on the bottom and a fence on the right. Place a document on the
shelf and against the fence.  

 

2   Positioning your device camera for a full screen view of the document.  

 

This initial set-up is done once, the optimum device position is
then preserved by applying the peal and stick  stops for subsequent uses.  

Reach inside the ScanJig tray and lift the Device Holder up and
out of the storage clips. Slide the Device Holder  into one of

[Richard Turner]

I'm waiting for confirmation from ScanJig, but I believe I gave the wrong 
price. I went by memory from reading the review in AccessWorld from last year; 
that was a mistake. Also, this model is a newer model than the one they 
reviewed. I think the correct price is $39.95. The price I remembered was a 
sale price referenced in the AccessWorld article. 
I should have double checked the price with ScanJig before sending out my 
review. 
However, even if it is indeed $39.95, and it probably is, it is still well 
worth it.
I am also sure there is a refund policy, which I will also check out and post 
corrected information as soon as I have it.
If you are wondering how I could possibly have not known the price, it is 
because they sent me one to evaluate because I am the Training Center Director 
at a Commission for the Blind. 
The guy from StandScan also sent our agency a a couple free StandScans. The 
original model, and then the one out of the more improved material.
Also, the Giraffe Reader was sold to me at half price.
So, now that I have evaluated all three stands, if one can deal with the larger 
size of the ScanJig when transporting it, I still say it is hands-down the best 
stand and the most versatile.
Sorry for the confusion, but once I hear from the ScanJig folks, I will post 
corrected information. But, it does look like the regular price will be $39.95.

 I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is

 put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can
 get the entire document even if it has narrow margins.
 
 There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you

 it holds it steady.

RE: The ScanJig

all fields read great.

OK, I now have seen what I consider the Cadillac of stands.

 

I got the ScanJig at work Monday.  I used KNFB Reader to scan the setup
instructions, free-hand, and was able to figure out the pieces and put it
together.

I enjoy puzzles, so it was fun putting it together.  It didn't take more
than about 5 or 10 minutes to figure it out without sighted help.

There are pictures of the pieces, so a sighted person could probably do it
in 2.

 

The ScanJig costs $30.00.

It is made from hard plastic.  It is a bit thicker than the other stands but
it looks way more durable.

It folds up into a box 13 by 9 and 1.5 inches thick.  

The beauty of the ScanJig is that it can hold anything from a smart phone to
a tablet.

It holds both the document and the device at an angle so there is less
likelihood of casting a shadow over the document and it can capture the
maximum of the room light or use the flash.  There are no lights needed on
the device itself.

 

There is a movable Device Holder that snaps into one of four slots at
various distances from the Document Shelf.  On the Device Holder, is a
little shelf that snaps in to hold the phone or tablet.  There are 10
adjustment holes so you can get the optimum height of the device pointing at
the document.

I found with both the iPhone 5s and the 6, that the first slot, which is
11.5 inches from the document was the best position.  I also found that if I
put the shelf on the device holder in the second hole from the top, I can
get the entire document even if it has narrow margins.

There are some stick on pieces to help hold your device in place once you
get the position where you want it.

There are also two clips that can hold a document on the document shelf, for
example, a tri-fold letter that wants to curl, you can clip it in place so
it holds it steady.

 

It is definitely more bulky when folded up than either the Giraffe Reader or
the StandScan, but the fact that it will also hold a tablet from a full iPad
to an iPad Mini or any smart phone I think gives it a big edge.  Not to
mention it is made out of much stronger material and at a great price.

 

I'm going to paste the setup instructions below and also the link to their
web site.

ScanJig Set-up Instructions

 


Product Description:  


The ScanJig is designed for easy tactile positioning of both a
smart device and documents for correct focus,  alignment and field of view.


Once set up - the stand holds smart phones or tablets in a
vertical portrait orientation and at an angle where the  device's touch
screen interface is facing the user. The stand can also hold a document, in
the same vertical  portrait orientation, and angle, directly behind the
smart phone or tablet.  

The device holder can be adjusted to position your device's rear
lens to point directly at the center of the  document.  

Once the device is positioned in the optimum location, stops can
be applied to lock in this position. Then your  phone or tablet can easily
be placed in the same spot for each use.  

The product's open design takes advantage of ambient light and
helps avoid shadows. Further the device flash is  completely unobstructed if
this feature is needed.  

 


What is stored inside the ScanJig  


*   1 - Smart Device Holder and Device Shelf - the device will sit
on the shelf.  

*   2 - Document Clips - to better hold creased documents or small
items.  

*   4 - Peal and Stick Device Stops - after your mobile device is
positioned the stops help hold it in place and  provide an easy way to
quickly use the same position again.  

*   2 - Thin peal and stick spacers - if needed, these can be placed
under your device for fine adjustment.  

 


Initial Set-Up  


 

1 Lift up on the latch at the front end of the ScanJig and open the cover
all the way until it stops. The inside of  the cover is the Document Bed
with a shelf on the bottom and a fence on the right. Place a document on the
shelf and against the fence.  

 

2   Positioning your device camera for a full screen view of the document.  

 

This initial set-up is done once, the optimum device position is
then preserved by applying the peal and stick  stops for subsequent uses.  

Reach inside the ScanJig tray and lift the Device Holder up and
out of the storage clips. Slide the Device Holder  into one of the four
slots near the front of the ScanJig tray. The bottom of the Device Holder
snaps into the  two anchor clips located at the bottom of each set of slots
in the tray.

Impossible to select a country from the combo box. When I thought I had united 
states, It switched to united kingdom
Very frustrating.

Even if you use down arrow and move to united states, it switches when pressing 
enter or just up arrowing to close the list.

Do you have to break it down and set it up again each time you want to use 
it?
