What a great tool!.......2007-05-12

Can't imagine how i survived without this. Really saves time. So easy to use. Almost as fast as typing and a heck of a lot easier.

Too good to be true........2007-04-02

If this pen really worked, it would have been a dream come true. But the software of course, was not compatible with my computer. I have a dell laptop so it's not like I have some weird no-name computer. I collegue at another worksite also tried and had the same issue, even after technical support was called.

Wizcom Super Pen Professional .......2007-02-17

I've been using the Super Pen for about two months. I'm in school and I've been using it to take notes from textbooks. Overall,I'm happy with the product. It does what it supposed to do for the most part. However, it is a bit slow, and if the background is not white, it does not pick up very well.

superpen was temporarily awesome.......2007-02-09

This product is awesome but was temporary. The first couple of weeks I used the pen, it was like as if there was a dictionary right at my fingertips. All of the sudden, it started not working. It could turn on, but the screen was unreadable because there were black splotches. I have yet to fix the problem. I've had it for a month but it only worked for three weeks.

Not real good!.......2007-01-16

Install and set up was a bit confusing. Had to contact tech. support (not real friendly or warm). We were looking to save time for data entry. We realized with much frustration typing was faster and more accurate. When scanning e-mail addresses the error rate was about 40% on a font size 6. Scanning 8 and above error rate went down to about 25%. Correcting the errors the pen made took more time then it was worth. The concept is great but does need allot of improvement.

Works Fine For My Needs.......2007-03-28

I was concerned about the mixed reviews of this product, but considering this scanner was so inexpensive I decided to try it myself. An instruction manual and quick start guide is included, but for more thorough instructions check the Documentation folder on the CD. After following the directions, I could not get the device to communicate with my computer. The documentation and website advise trying to change the Baud Rate on the device and on the PC, but that still didn't help. I finally got the connection to work after changing the COM Port number in the Advanced settings in Device Manager. For some reason the device is not a normal USB device, but can be found under Ports(Com&LPT) - Prolific USB-to-Serial Comm Port on Windows XP.
Anyway, I now use the device to highlight key passages in my everyday reading, which are typically only one or two sentences long at a time and from both magazines and books. I have good success with this device, but have not tried the optional image scanner or the infrared capability. I have no experience with any other pen scanner, but this is the most inexpensive one I found and includes USB connectivity and works great for casual highlighting. Once you get the connection working, and beyond the fact that this device is an ugly red, this is a good product to have. The only issue I have with it now is that I wish it was a little smaller, especially since I don't have the need for the big display to see what I just scanned.

Here are the facts.......2007-02-28

I saw, ordered, tried it, and returned it. I'd say more, but the product isn't worth it.

Not my best buy........2007-02-24

After two weeks and several conversations with tech support, I could not get the pen to write to my computer (Word), though the internal test showed communication. I returned it to the mfg. Got it back with no info as to what they discovered. Tested or no? Repaired or no?
So I tried it and it now does write to computer, though with little accuracy. The problem is, with no comunitcation from their Customer Support, I don't know if it works due to repair or because I upgraded from 1 gig to 2 gigs of ram. Oh well, one can't get it right every time.

awsome!.......2007-01-19

I got this for my husband who is going back to school later this year for his masters! He loved it! It made a great stocking stuffer!

I wish I had known it came from CompUsa & I would have gone to pick it up to save the shipping $ & time but that is my only complaint!

Works great for me.......2007-01-10

I don't know about the competitors, but the Infoscan accomplishes all my needs. No more highlighters for me! Now I can take notes in a clean, organized manner. The Infoscan isn't perfect, 'tis true, but it certainly gets the job done. Here's a scanned passage (words in brackets are wrong):

If you live [riot] in a major city, you're in a prime spot. Rural areas also have their attractions. Another possible source of people to stay in your bed and breakfast is any national or international corporation near your home. [/roximity] to any kind of tourist attraction is a plus for a bed and breakfast. A home situated near a college, university, or private school can benefit [froze] the considerable amount of traffic that always surrounds an institution of higher learning.

As you can see, most of the words are correct, and those that aren't are easily understood (right, Proximity, from). If you follow the directions, which is easy to do, this pen will work wonderfully.
