5 out of 5 stars Great!.......2007-06-20

Great hand-scanner. Very accurate,. Saved me many a nights in school. A must-have!!!

1 out of 5 stars Do not buy this product!!.......2007-05-25

This product has been horrible. I have been on the phone with tech support for hours and they now want me to send it to them because "it doesn't work" they claim. What a nightmare and so many precious wasted hours! Don't get this product! Stay away...

5 out of 5 stars Great Pen Scanner For The Slow & Lazy ! ! !.......2007-05-20

I tried this pen because I have to type a lot of homework. I read a few of those comments with 1-2 stars and it seems that this does not work well with Mac, but it works great with Windows ! ! ! ^-^ It's not perfect but it's better than typing. It goes a little messy when it's scanning the curve of the book (like the middle) just a little practice and you'll be good. I also like the buttons it helps a lot because I use a lot of Enters and Tabs. This product is good for people who does not type 50+ wpm, or someone who needs to type a lot of stuff thats off the book.

1 out of 5 stars A failure of a product.......2007-04-02

It is scandalous that this proudct advertises it works with the Mac -- it's a handheld disaster. With 10.4.7, it will freeze your Mac and require rebooting. I seriously doubt they have spent any time trying to update the drivers for any changes to the operating system in years. Save your time and money, and pass on this.

1 out of 5 stars Another disappointed customer.......2007-01-18

I'm sorry to say that other reviews of this product from customers who really wanted it to work also apply to my experience. The software loaded on my Mac (OS X 10.4.7), but then the trouble started. The software USB driver could not seem to keep the pen captured, and when it did, scanning was haphazard. Not that it mattered, because try as I might (and believe me, I am a very careful troubleshooter), I could not get a scan that was clear enough or stable enough for IRIS to recognize. This is too bad, because the IRIS engine in general is fast and accurate in other Mac applications ... and is what led me to give this product a try. Thank you as always to Amazon for your customer-friendly return policies!

    4 out of 5 stars Works Like a Dream.......2007-01-25

    As a pastor, I frequently have need to copy text such as prayers from one rite to another. I also prepare versions of all the rites I use in large type so that I can read them from arm's length. That has meant for me a whole lot of typing I would rather not do. This gizmo has become a dream come true.

    I cannot attest to some of the capabilities. I have not used the barcode scanning and neither have I used the translation facilities. I have used it to scan text directly from the source document into a Word file. For this, it works well.

    It takes a bit of time to get used to. I still sometimes scan the wrong line but going into the document and correcting the text is so much faster than having to type it myself. The ability of this model to scan multiple lines for insertion in a paragraph makes the added price over the EXPRESS model worthwhile.

    I have played a bit with the audible text feature that speaks the scanned text. It sounds like Stephen Hawking but is surprisingly intelligible. The translation facilities are rather basic but generally correct. My German and Spanish is better that the translating algorithm but, again, it is still easier to clean things up than to type it from scratch. This is especially true when foreign punctuation is considered.

    All in all, I am well satisfied.

    3 out of 5 stars Works Well with German but Not Russian.......2006-03-14

    I purchased this pen to help with Translating some books.
    If you use German you should have no problem but if you use Russian you will have to switch back and forth between Windows Language settings which can be annoying.

    In my opinion when the pen is connected to Your computer Via the USB port the Drivers should be aware that the System is a US English computer and do the conversion without changing Language settings within Windows.

    In some cases it might be better if you have a second home computer to use just for Translation.


    When Scanning:

    Alot depends on the quality of Ink and Paper you are scanning.

    Lighting will also have a sizeable factor on your success rate.

    Translation software is above 80% accurate in my opinion.
    More than enough for the Average Person.

    If you want to use the Pen with a better Translator dictionary I don't know how you would go about upgrading.

    A trick i use to help speed things up is to forgo the actual scanning and type the paragraphs i need translated into the Dictionary but this just defeats the purpose of Buying the pen scanner in the first place.

    usefull product but Tech support just killed it for me.
    They are useless Human Beings

    Buy this product if you have time to invest.

    3 out of 5 stars Iris Pen Executive.......2005-12-19

    I found the orignal Iris Pen II under Windows 2000 far superior to the Iris Pen Executive under Microsoft XP. Both the Iris Pen II and this new design does not integrate as well with Microsoft XP. Aligning the executive type pen with the text is far more difficult than with the II-type pen. The device does function and is faster than typing. However, the performance of the product has degraded under the XP operating system.

    1 out of 5 stars installation on Windows XP or Mac OS 9.2.......2005-12-03

    The technical specs page claims this product can run on
    Windows XP, ME, 2000 or 98
    Mac OS X up to 10.3 and Mac OS 9.x

    I attempted to install the software on Windows XP Home Edition and was presented with a dialog box which read: "The software you are installing has not passed Windows Logo testing to verify its compatibility with Windows XP. Continuing your installation of this software may impair or destabilize the correct operation of your system either immediately or in the future. Microsoft strongly recommends that you stop this installation now and contact the software vendor for software that has passed Windows Logo testing."

    The response from IRIS was "The driver 100% safe and compatible. It will not cause any instabilities. Click continue anyways to install the software."

    I chose not to install the software on the PC.

    I attempted to install the software on our Mac Powerbook G3 with OS 9.2 and I was presented with a dialog box which stated that the software required X 10.
