Customer Reviews:

Keep shopping.......2007-06-08

This scanner is very difficult to get reporducible results from. Shouldn't have bought it, but hoped my experience would be better.

Horrible!!.......2007-02-20

Waste of time. Software had some bugs but more importantly performance was horrible. I wouldn't pay 10 dollars for this product- yes it is that bad. Accuracy rate was about 25% and the mistakes were beyond spell check. They look like some new form of reformed egyption. Don't buy!!

just guessing on number of stars.......2007-01-19

This was purchased as a gift, I have no idea how it has fared yet. I am waiting to hear if it was as advertised, but will not push to get an answer.

Well Rounded Product = Good.......2006-10-29

I got this as a Gift for my education. Im getting a degree in aeronautical engineering and a minor in psychology, so something that can scan text easily and fast is a big plus and a big time saver. After I got the pen, I went online to read what other people thought of the product. Honestly, I think that the pen is super easy to use. If you dont read the 5 pages in the manual(which are really easy to read!), then I can see how people will have problems. Plus, the pen comes with a trainer;Meaning that the pen has to be at a angle for it to scan properly, and the trainer will help you get used to that set up(took me 30mins then I was off the trainer). If you dont use the trainer.. YOU WILL GET A ERROR(wrong angle). You might also get a error if you go too fast. Honestly, If you run this pen across the page like a corvette.... I think that you really need to lay off the coffee. Calm down, this pen is really easy to use. It took me like 1 hour to get used to using the pen. The dictionary is super easy and NICE!!!! It scans up to about 8mm on a page(plenty for you English major types). Here are some things that I want to mention, and might help you:
1) Put the CD into your computer before you DO ANYTHING. Follow those directions...very helpful.
2)The USB cord for the pen is like a device in it-self; as such the software will lead you though installing the drivers for it... not a big deal.
3) when you plug the USB cord into the pen, remember to push hard until you hear a rather substantial snap. It was quite unexpected and was probably a source of a lot problems related to this product(people didn't know to push so hard...NOTHING BREAKS, its a very well made product).
4)make sure that you have the USB cord plugged in(after you have installed the software, eg. after doing 1 above)before you start-up the main program. Then connect the pen to the USB cord and browse to "send stored files to PC" and push enter. WA la, everything will go well.

Its a good product and I think that people shouldn't take the other negative reviews seriously. After getting this, many of my friends are seriously thinking about getting one. Its very well made and Im quite sure that it would be a great help for students or researchers. I hoped this helped.

Very Poor Performance.......2006-07-03

I bought this product and I wish I had not. In most cases it is much faster and efficient to copy the text by typing than trying to scan it. You will only get a headache.
