Looking for magsafe scanning flatbed alignment like... something?

Sorry—uncertainty even in the title! 🙂 Hello, TL;DR: Being a student and dealing with paperwork makes scanning things important sometimes. RAMQ provides a scam software called OpenBook (even in 2026) and a Canon scanner (good enough for what it does). I was having a discussion with Gemini a couple of days ago about whether something like the Pearl camera would still be useful in 2026. It told me, mid-conversation, something like: why buy a 10-year-old device when you already have one of the best scanners you could ever carry in your pocket, paired with your Mac? It knows I often use Windows on the Mac… So I went down a rabbit hole on the topic. In the meantime, completely unrelated, I’ve already received a MagSafe stand for recording/filming (Tonof 68). Very good for the price, well built, and it even has a detachable remote with a button that basically acts as volume up on one press and volume down on the other—clearly designed with the camera app in mind. Gemini also mentioned ScanJig, which is apparently built specifically for this kind of scanning workflow. Apparently, Sam from The Blind Life has even covered it, and on their website, Seeing AI is listed among the apps it supports. Problem: it costs $45 USD, but on Amazon Canada it’s over twice that—about $109 CAD. I don’t really see why I should pay that premium. I’ve emailed them to ask about it and am waiting for a response. Does anyone here have recommendations for something that would fit this use case?
