        *spreads* is a tool that aims to streamline your book scanning workflow.
        It takes care of every step: Setting up your capturing devices, handling
        the capturing process, downloading the images to your machine,
        post-processing them and finally assembling a variety of output formats.
        
        Along the way you can always fine-tune the auto-generated results either
        by supplying arguments or changing the configuration beforehand, or by
        inspecting the output and applying your modifications.
        
        *spreads* is meant to be fully customizable. This means, `adding support
        for new devices`_ is made as painless as possible. You can also
        hook into any of the *spread* commands by imlementing one of the available
        `plugin classes`.

        *spreads* offers an interactive wizard that takes you from a physical book
        to a digitized version in one single workflow with minimal user input::
