## What it is
ScanTailor Advanced is an interactive post-processing tool for scanned pages, merging features from ScanTailor Featured and Enhanced while adding new capabilities and fixes. It performs operations like page splitting, deskewing, border adjustment, content selection, and binarization for book scanning and document digitalization workflows.

## Use cases
- post-process scanned book pages
- deskew and split scanned page images
- binarize scanned documents for OCR
- remove borders and margins from scans
- fix warped pages from book scanning
- batch process large collections of scanned images
- convert scans to clean TIFF/DjVu-ready images

## When to choose
- you scan books or documents and need interactive cleanup before OCR or archiving
- you need fine-grained control over binarization, dewarping, and page layout
- you want a free, open-source desktop tool for bulk scan post-processing

## When to avoid
- you need fully automated, hands-off document processing pipelines
- you only need OCR itself rather than image post-processing
- you need a web-based or headless server-side solution

## Facets
