With a scan area of 8.27 x 98" (or up 35" inches at 900 dpi), the scanner can store any letter or legal size document or image, even at the highest resolution. Take the portable scanner with you to the library and scan what you need for later, no need to waste paper or money on photocopies. When you get home, simply connect the scanner to your computer with the supplied USB cable to transfer your scans. If you scanned a text document you can use the included OCR (optical character recognition) software to convert any printed material into editable text (Windows only; not compatible with Mac OS). The scanner runs on 2 AA batteries so there's no need to for a charger. Using standard AA batteries, the scanner can perform at least 180 color scans or 200 monochrome scans. The LCD displays the device's status and other important info. The scanner weighs only 6.9 oz (including the batteries) and is only 10 x 1.2 x 1.0", making it a great way to store documents and photos on the go. Review: Very Portable scanner - I spent my day testing this out for a perfect copy, It copies the way you drag it across your document. To perfect each copy, I took a piece of cardboard, glued a stick to the side, a cheap ruller will work, to have a perfect straight line to copy by.. I then folded a thick paper to hold the document, it was glued with less than a 1/4 in fold overhang. to frame the document. About 1/2 inch from the stick, according to the scanner guide line. I made another folded paper guide on the other side to keep the paper from shifting. I laid the cardboard holder on a mouse pad to keep it from shifting. I can put a document on the cardboard holders & guide the scanners for 3 seconds with both hands & turn out perfect copies, all on the memory chip. Then I put the micro sd memory in the adapter to fit usb or sd adapter, & check or print out from computer. It works on rechargeable batteries, & 8 gigs memory will hold 4000 documents, I am guessing that the rechargeable battery will probably copy 50 pages per charge.The scanner is just a portable stick & the scanner guide that I made will be slightly larger than a page & will fit in any folder. I got tired of the big scanners that are delicate, clumbsy, & has to be programed. I used no cables, no programming, but I move the memory chip to where I want the scanned information, up to the 4000 copies that an 8 gig chip will hold. it takes at least 3 seconds to a copy, & at least 3 seconds to set up each page. It is free of frustration, convenient & portable. Just be careful when opening the package, it could slide out onto the floor when you open the package. Review: Absolutely does what it's made for - First, make sure you also get a case for it ( VuPoint PDSC-IW441-VP Solutions Carrying Case for Magic Wand Portable Scanner ); it only comes with a thin little cloth sleeve on its own and the quality of your scan hinges on how clean and safe you keep the glass lens on the bottom. The case linked above is really impressive for the cost. Next, it works just like the hand-held scanners I started with in the 286 era: scanning was more of an art than a science because how good a scan you get is 100% dependent on how steady your hand is. Until you get better, you'll often get all sorts of wavy distortion that even PS won't fix. It's best for small projects, like scanning a cartoon or a 3 x 5 photo. I got it specifically for scanning illustrations in books without having to wreck the book itself, and it's far better at that then the results I got with my flat-bed scanner or camera phone. It's also more convenient, since I don't have to be anywhere near a computer to use it; it's perfect for doing research runs to the library. When you get home, it hooks up to your PC like plugging in an external hard drive. Since cards go bad from time to time, you'll want to dump your scans often. It will scan to jpg (or PDF, but... why?) in either 300, 600, or 900 dpi and 8-bit color. Again, small projects work best. You can use up to a 32 MB microSDHC memory card, which will hold tons of scans even at the highest resolution (it has a counter on it, and I'm at 200+ now with the card around a quarter full). It works great right out of the box, and seems especially well built given the cost (much like the case). It's weird to be pleasantly surprised like this, but boy was I ever. It's one of those things you never know you need until you get it. ## Features - CONVERT YOUR OLD PHOTOS INTO DIGITAL FILES - Scan documents and photos in color or black and white as PDF or JPEG files - ARCHIVE AND ORGANIZE YOUR SCANS - Connect your scanner to a computer (Windows or Mac OS) using the included USB cable and a microSD card up to 32GB (SD card required, NOT included) to view and transfer your files - COMPACT AND PORTABLE - Slide your scanner into the drawstring pouch, which slips conveniently into a purse or briefcase so you can scan important documents and photos on-the-go when no copier is available - INCLUDES BONUS OCR SOFTWARE - Optical Character Recognition software allows you to convert saved documents into text editable and searchable files compatible with popular word processing and spreadsheet software (software is Windows only; not compatible with Mac OS) - SCANNING SPECS - Plug-and-play device scans documents 8.27 inches wide and up to 98 inches long in as little as 3 seconds, with resolution choices of 300DPI, 600DPI, or 900DPI ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | ASIN | B004EFXW6Q | | Best Sellers Rank | #274,120 in Office Products ( See Top 100 in Office Products ) #286 in Document Scanners | | Brand | VuPoint Solutions | | Color Depth | 24 bits | | Connection Type | USB | | Connectivity Technology | USB | | Customer Reviews | 3.9 out of 5 stars 591 Reviews | | Global Trade Identification Number | 08741210029116 | | Item Weight | 5.3 Ounces | | Manufacturer | VuPoint | | Media Type | Paper, Photo, Slide | | Minimum System Requirements | Windows 7 | | Model Name | Magic Wand Portable Scanner | | Resolution | 900 | | Scanner Type | Document | | UPC | 874121002911 898029662213 023751215622 | | Unit Count | 1.0 Count | | Warranty Description | 1 year | ## Product Details - **Brand:** VuPoint Solutions - **Color Depth:** 24 bits - **Connectivity Technology:** USB - **Item Weight:** 5.3 Ounces - **Maximum Media Size:** 8.5 x 14 inches - **Minimum System Requirements:** Windows 7 - **Model Name:** Magic Wand Portable Scanner - **Resolution:** 900 - **Scanner Type:** Document - **UPC:** 874121002911 898029662213 023751215622 ## Images ![VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61WL7cZ2UYL.jpg) ![VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81FzN+hvgHL.jpg) ![VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81QARrQXvzL.jpg) ![VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71BOqDrF3wL.jpg) ![VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81R2uHSq2+L.jpg) ## Questions & Answers **Q: the microSD card is included with the scanner or we have to buy seperately?** A: NO, not included, you have to buy separately **Q: The directions are terrible. i have scanned 2 pdf documents but when i plug into my mac i can't find the scans. where are they?** A: I am so sorry you're having trouble finding your scans. To find your scans by plugging the scanner into your Mac; first, make sure to turn the scanner on once it's plugged in, then open a new finder window. The scanner should show up under devices as "NO NAME" in the sidebar of the finder window. Double click on "NO NAME" then the folder "DCIM" then the folder "100MEDIA" and your scans should be in there. I hope this helps! Thanks, Plethora7 470-268-6645 **Q: does it have ocr?** A: is the OCR downloadable if your computer doesn't have a CD? or does it come with a cd? **Q: Wondering if this would be a good choice for old handwritten Wills and Admins that I need copies of during genealogy research...???** A: Yes it will. My sister goes to the library and looks up things for the genealogy and scans everything, then all she has to do is put in order. It is all on a micro chip that can be downloaded on a flash drive or CD. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Portable scanner *by L***G on February 28, 2013* I spent my day testing this out for a perfect copy, It copies the way you drag it across your document.

Being able to scan without being connected to a computer is extremely handy. Even on the lowest DPI scan, it produces sharp images of a black and white handouts, with each page taking about 2 seconds to slide across. At the highest setting, you do need to slow your roll some and take 5-7 seconds per scan, but I have found I only needed high settings for the smallest of text (and for color of course). It doesn't recognize the edges of the paper however, so you may end up with scans that need to be cropped in order to remove the edges that have a nice scan of the desk you were working on. Not important to me, but if you needed more professional scans for a presentation or something it may be something you need to think about. I would hate to scan 100 things and have to edit each one to remove it. The device itself is nicely portable, it actually has the same width as my MS Surface Pro, so it fits easily into the tablet bag I use for the Pro. The scanner came with a sleeve to protect it. My only complaint about the scanner is that you CAN'T hook it to a computer to instantly see your scan. You have to scan first, then connect it, and then it works like a removable drive with the files listed. It So if you are scanning a ton of pages, instead of being able to glance at each one on the PC as you go, you have to wait and do it all afterwards. The software that comes with it is helpful, but not perfect. It converts JPG scans into Word, Excel, PDF, and Emails, but it cannot do anything with a PDF scan. This may be a limitation imposed by Adobe, or a ploy for you to upgrade to their professional edition ($90 at the time of this post), I am not sure. I do see the professional version gives you the ability to convert PDF files. ## Frequently Bought Together - VuPoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDS ST415 WM) - SanDisk 32GB Ultra microSDHC UHS-I Memory Card with Adapter - 98MB/s, C10, U1, Full HD, A1, Micro SD Card - SDSQUAR-032G-GN6MA - Hermitshell Hard Travel Case for Vupoint Solutions Magic Wand Portable Scanner (PDSDK-ST470-VP) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.be/products/1157559-vupoint-solutions-magic-wand-portable-scanner-pds-st415-wm](https://www.desertcart.be/products/1157559-vupoint-solutions-magic-wand-portable-scanner-pds-st415-wm) --- *Product available on Desertcart Belgium* *Store origin: BE* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
