It is even good enough that I have found myself using this pen to scan multiple pages, although that's not what it is best at.The only challenge I have is when I'm trying to scan near the spine of a book. I find it almost as fast as I can scan a line.
I don't have any problem with this either and use the pen on both a desktop and a laptop.Keep the pen angle about right and you can scan up a storm. I don't know what they expect from a pen scanner, but all in all this picks up very well, is extremely accurate, and is fast.Someone else complained about having to carry the driver disk around with them.
Lots of other reviews get into the details, so I won't bother. When that happens, I simply go back - highlight the garbage - and rescan a bit slower and it seems to pick it up fine.Some have said it is not that fast.
I give it about 95% + accuracy (closer to 99% without spine pages). Let me just give my opinion of how I like the performance of this pen.I do a fair amount of scanning and use this pen for spot scanning.
When the surface is not flat, the scan can go off into left field.
Useful and genererally works BUT the DC needs to be loaded each time the pen is used making it impossible to use on a laptop unless you carry the CD with you.
I gotta admit it does make some mistakes, but it is a lot easier to use this product than to have to write evrything out.
As of this writing, there is a beta version of the C-Pen software for the Mac, which you can download from their site. You don't have to scan the whole page, and you can scan from bound or stapled documents without disassembling them. The automatic OCR conversion lets you scan directly into your word-processor or into a specialized note-taking program like WordPerfect Lightning. I'm a psychologist and consult frequently on criminal forensic cases. I haven't tried the Mac version, so can't tell you about that. The C-Pen is a Godsend for capturing the essential information in those documents. That means I spend a lot of time reviewing mental health & legal records. It's incredibly accurate, very fast, convenient, easy to use, and selective.
Trade hours of typing for CPen's few text errors. Can read many languages, and has convenient set-up options selectable from a good interface. Fully functional with Vista. CPen is amazing. It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but after that it is great for text entry.
