The 2019 xcanex Challenge

The 2019 xcanex Challenge is a competition in which users worldwide pitted against each other with their mastery of the xcanex bookscanner. Each participant was required to capture pages from a book in dual-page mode for 1 minute and submit a video recording clearly showing:

  • the flipping of the physical book being scanned,

  • the Perfecapture app displayed on a computer screen with the live preview of the said book, and

  • every scanned page by clicking through the thumbnail (i.e. to show how many were in fact successfully processed, flattened and finger image removed).

The outcome of the contest was judged based on the number of successfully captured pages within 1 minute from the start of the first capture.

All registered xcanex users were notified by email at the start of the contest and videos were submitted by participants via DBinbox.com until its closure on the 3rd of April 2019. All prize monies were remitted either via PayPal.com or Stripe.com.
