VuPoint Magic Wand ST470 (with Auto-Feed Dock)
By Seb Clark, Editor, UniDoc Solutions·Updated
Scanning things an ADF can't handle — book pages, receipts stuck in a folder, oversized or bound documents. The dock adds basic auto-feed when you do have loose sheets.
At a glance
- Handheld wand — roll it over any flat surface, no ADF needed
- Docking station adds auto-feed for stacks of pages
- 1200 dpi, scans to microSD (JPEG/PDF)
- Battery-powered — works away from a PC entirely
Our take
Best handheld — for the jobs a feed tray can't do
A completely different type of device from the rest of this list. Instead of feeding paper through a slot, you roll the VuPoint over whatever you're scanning — a page in a bound book, a receipt taped into a folder, a poster too big for any ADF. The docking station adds basic auto-feed for loose sheets when you do have them. Battery-powered, scans to microSD, no PC needed. £60-90.
Buy this alongside an ADF scanner, not instead of one — it solves a different problem.
