ABSTRACT:
An improved text scanning apparatus is disclosed. A support structure retainably holds a sheet of material to be scanned in snug planar engagement with an upright copyboard support surface. Light sources selectively enable illumination of the sheet from overhead or through the sheet. Horizontally and vertically movable masks overlie the sheet material and traverse over the material in precise operator preselected incremental timed manner, to highlight the text according to the operator's selections. The system provides for full automatic, semiautomatic or manual modes of operation.
