Editorial Reviews :
Easily carried in your shirt pocket, the C Pen 600C handheld scanner supplies supremely convenient scanning options for students, travelers, and professionals. About the size of your sunglasses, this scanner arrives loaded with Merriam-Webster's Collegiate Dictionary, providing users with instant access to 215,000 definitions. Its four-row display shows your scans clearly, and it speeds through text at a rate of 15 centimeters per second.
Usable from your right or left hand, the scanner can store up to 3,000 pages of files in its memory, along with 1,000 entries for personal and business contacts. All of these can be easily transferred to your Windows-based PC, or Palm, Visor, or Sony PDA, via an infrared port or serial cable. Download one of 11 foreign language dictionaries, and the scanner becomes an instant translator, making it ideal for travelers.
The scanner is fueled by two AAA batteries, which supply power for up to three hours of continuous use or a few minutes each day for several weeks. Included in the box are batteries, a soft carrying case, and a detachable serial cable, as well as a software package that allows you to save, edit, and transfer your scans with ease. The manufacturer supplies a one-year limited warranty.
Buyer Reviews :
The C-Pen is simply the best tool I ever came across for any kind of writing from research to novels to what ever your needs will ever be in the future.
The days of being at the Reference section of any library and copying and retyping are over. One swift use of the C-Pen and your in rewrite heaven with easy citations. Ever read an article in a magazine or newspaper and want to comment on it, just use the C-Pen, you got the exact quote and can respond in kind! See a specific piece of research you want to quote, scan it in line by line with the citation. The Business card scan with C-Pen is easier and faster than rewriting it on palm pilot!
I read how you must get use to using this device. I found no such problems. The text need only be put on a surface to steady it, then scanning line by line so long you keep your hand steady and straight makes it quite easy! The only one drawback is scanning underline text, but I found that to be a minor problem compared to the overall great benefits.
What I really appreciated was the easy installation. The OCR is simply amazing and works in Microsoft Word with absolute ease and speed. This is especially gratifying because I expected complications and found none!
I loaded the software and called Technical Support to make sure this was the latest device on the market! I was at first disappointed I was unable reach a real person, but within a half an hour they called back and walked me through it! When I found out the newer model holds more with a bigger dictionary, I was still satisfied with the 600-C. Depends on your needs whether you want to spend the extra cash on the 800-C model. The booklet is like a Car Manual, but if you take the time to read it, you will never read it again!
I made only one big mistake, I did not check Amazon.com first and saw the price is about $40.00 under retail prices at all stores I checked everywhere! I was unable to take back the device without a re-stocking fee so don't make my mistake, buy it from Amazon.com.
In closing, you will never regret buying this device and using it often for your purposes. It is simply the easiest and best product I have ever used and seen in quite awhile! It is every writers, businessperson, lawyers and research educators dream!
