 Works like a dream. July 6, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I'm a psychologist and consult frequently on criminal forensic cases. That means I spend a lot of time reviewing mental health & legal records. The C-Pen is a Godsend for capturing the essential information in those documents. It's incredibly accurate, very fast, convenient, easy to use, and selective. 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.
As of this writing, there is a beta version of the C-Pen software for the Mac, which you can download from their site. I haven't tried the Mac version, so can't tell you about that.
Like a charm. June 23, 2008
CPen is amazing. It takes a few minutes to get the hang of it, but after that it is great for text entry. Can read many languages, and has convenient set-up options selectable from a good interface. Trade hours of typing for CPen's few text errors. Fully functional with Vista.
This is definitely the one to get June 12, 2008
After reading all the reviews for pen scanners, I decided on this one, and it is definitely the one to get. I just installed the software, and on the first try I'd say there was 95% accuracy, which I imagine will improve as I get more practice. Overall a real time saver, and a much better option than manually typing in lines of text.
Very good May 31, 2008
I bought this item with some expectations, but they have been more than fully answered.
I am able to use it on Windows platform, and on Mac platform (You can download the driver from [...]). The accuracy rate is 98,9% on English or German text. Very good! I recommend it wholeheartedly. My research will be greatly improved. Thank you!
simply perfect April 21, 2008
I wanted to buy such a product for academic use and I was not sure which brand to choose. Finally I decided on this one. When I first used it, I got really excited by its ergonomic design, speed and accuracy. It saved me a lot of time and energy and I am so happy to have it.
