dlrowell 0 Posted October 2, 2014 Posted October 2, 2014 I have Evernote installed on my Android tablet, I'm trying to capture a 4-page journal article using the Document Camera, and can't get it right; 1) it's a standard magazine-sized page, so I'm holding the tablet far enough above the page to capture the whole page---resulting image is hard to read 'cause text is too smal, if zoom it's illegible; 2) the paper stock is standard magazine, semi-glossy I suppose, and slightly curly---lots of reflections scattered around the page, come out as bright artifact, no text visible in those areas; 3) the flash trips every time and the resulting image is completely washed out, pale gray on white background, can't really read anything; The way I'm doing it the results are useless, and I figure there must be a better way, or nobody'd use this feature; so, am I doing this wrong? Any advice? Thanks in advance . . . David
Level 5* gazumped 12,222 Posted October 2, 2014 Level 5* Posted October 2, 2014 My usual tests for journal posts -can I find the same content on the internet? Clip page(s)is the content legible if I take a picture? If no, increase resolutionstill no? Cut the pages out and scan.You should be able to select the device camera instead of the document camera for a slightly bigger picture area (no margins) - you can also select resolution. The document camera is super good for one-page non-glossy documents like letters, and usually usable for other types of picture. But sometimes you just have to find another way...
