.com Product Description The Iris USOA400 IRISPen Express 6 Pen
Scanner is a portable, hand-held scanner that works just like a
highlighter. You simply slide the scanner over virtually any
printed text, and the text is automatically scanned directly into
your computer. Ideal for remote research projects or any task in
which a flatbed scanner would prove too cumbersome, this
pen-sized scanner operates at a rate of over three inches per
second and recognizes 128 languages.
Fast Scanning and High Accuracy
The IRISPen Express 6 includes Optical Character Re
software, or OCR, that is up to 100% accurate with 128 languages.
Whether you're scanning print from a newspaper in New York,
Istanbul or Ljubljana, this scanner will provide you with highly
accurate results. It can even read wavy and distorted images, as
well as colored text and numbers, and text on colored
backgrounds. If you have special text needs, don't worry. The
IRISPen can recognize alphanumeric characters, numeric data,
special characters, mathematical symbols, currency symbols, and
much more. The IRISPen also reads virtually any font, in a wide
variety of styles and point sizes (from 8 to 20 points), as well
as formatting elements, such as vertical lines, separating table
cells. The scanner can even scan logos, signatures, and other
small graphics.
While the speed will vary according to usage, the IRISPen can
scan up to 3.15 inches per second. You simply slide the "pen" tip
across your text, just as you would a highlighter, and the text
is scanned directly into the application of your choice.
Wide Software and Hardware Compatibility
The IRISPen doesn't care if you're a Mac or PC user. It's
compatible with practically any platform you use. The pen
connects directly into the USB port of a PC, , PC
or Macintosh computer. Powered by the USB port of your computer,
the IRISPen doesn't need an external power supply and features an
"idle" mode to save energy when it's not in use.
The scanner software is easily configured. You can assign key
board shortcuts and follow the intuitive smart wizard for the
quickest and easiest way of defining your settings. It proposes a
series of templates with pre-defined settings means for the
reading of certain types of data: text, text from columns,
numeric tables, etc. These templates can be either used as such,
or modified to fit more particular needs. Once connected, your
options for the destination of your scanning is virtually
unlimited. You can scan your text directly into Microsoft Excel
or Word, into text files, emails--you name it. If you can type in
it, the IRISPen will let you scan into it.
Scanning Everything From Albanian to Zulu
Amazingly, the IRISPen recognizes 128 different languages. All
American and European languages are supported, including
Central-European languages. Greek, Turkish, the Cyrillic
("Russian") and the Baltic languages and Hebrew are also
supported. Optionally, the IRISPen reads Asian documents in
Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean.
You can activate a mixed alphabet of Greek or Cyrillic and
Western characters. This is useful if Western words pop up in
Greek of Cyrillic texts (this is often the case with proper name,
brand names, etc.). The IRISPen will automatically switch
languages whenever needed.
