Three products, one pipeline. HoneyPi Scanner is our laptop-tethered, basic capture tool. HoneyPi Scanner-Smart is the fully standalone Honey Pi device that detects, crops, deskews and exports pages with zero PC required. And HoneyPi Document AI Validator is an upcoming AI endpoint that inspects every page for blur, folds and foreign objects before it reaches a final document.
HoneyPi Scanner is our entry-level capture tool. It connects to your existing laptop or desktop — there's no dedicated standalone hardware or AutoSettings automation here, just a reliable, manually-driven scan-to-PDF workflow built on the same core image pipeline as the rest of the HoneyPi family.
Plug in and go — HoneyPi Scanner runs from a connected laptop or desktop, so there's no separate device to set up or maintain.
The same document-flattening engine as HoneyPi Scanner-Smart, run page by page under your control.
You frame and trigger every capture yourself — full control, no AutoSettings stage profiles, no surprises.
Save individual pages as JPEG or assemble a finished scan run into a single PDF.
Decode barcodes and QR codes on demand when you need them — not forced into every capture.
The simplest way to start scanning with HoneyPi technology — upgrade to Scanner-Smart any time you need full automation.
Built on Honey Pi 5, HoneyPi Scanner-Smart runs the entire capture pipeline on-device — from live framing to a finished, paginated PDF — with no laptop or PC required at all.
Streams the Pi camera at up to 4608×2592 with selectable presets, so every page is perfectly framed before you press capture.
Computer-vision quad detection finds the page edges and warps them into a perfectly flat rectangle automatically.
Residual rotational tilt is measured and corrected on every single page — no more crooked scans.
Levels, gamma, CLAHE contrast, saturation and sharpening are applied in a single in-memory pass — no manual editing.
A built-in reader decodes barcodes and QR codes during capture for automatic indexing, routing and page tagging.
Capture an open spread in one shot and split it into two pages along a spine line you drag to the exact fold.
First / Middle / Last page profiles drive crop, barcode and book-view behaviour automatically through an entire scan run.
Captures flow through processing → scanned/failed → uploaded folders with a build lock so nothing ships mid-process.
Finished sessions are automatically assembled into a paginated PDF and Word document — ready to file or share.
HoneyPi Document AI Validator is a REST API companion service for both Scanner editions. Send it any captured page and it returns a structured validation report — catching blurred shots, folded or non-flat pages, and foreign objects left in frame — so a bad capture gets flagged and rescanned before it ever reaches a final document.
# Validate one captured page for blur, folds & foreign objects curl -X POST https://api.honeypitech.com/v1/validate \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $HONEYPI_API_KEY" \ -F "image=@page_00012.jpg" \ -F "session_id=pisession_30062026"
import requests resp = requests.post( "https://api.honeypitech.com/v1/validate", headers={"Authorization": f"Bearer {API_KEY}"}, files={"image": open("page_00012.jpg", "rb")}, data={"session_id": "pisession_30062026"}, ) report = resp.json() print(report["decision"], report["checks"]["foreign_objects"])
// Example: a pen was left in frame — page is rejected { "page": "page_00012.jpg", "score": 0.41, "decision": "fail", "checks": { "blur": false, "fold_detected": false, "foreign_objects": ["pen"], "boundary_complete": true }, "suggested_action": "rescan_page" }
