    I have had this pen scanner for about one year now and use it frequently to copy text as I read it. I immediately use Zotero (or Endnote if that is more familiar) to insert the bibliography. This is useful for insertion into my thesis, or I would need to type everything. The only glitches I had were in the beginning to install it took a while to figure out, but I asked for some help from customer services and they were great and helped no problem. Yes, it took time to get the scanning process right – I use a ruler and have perfected the art of gliding the pen over the words. I silence my speakers = dont use the “read-back” option as it is monotonous and does not pronounce the words well, so it is a bit off-putting. BUT all in all a great item!

    This was an amazing purchase! Don’t get me wrong, there is room for improvement, but I had about a thousand pages that had highlighted passages that were needed for an open book exam. It took a good few days but I would never have been able to type it in anywhere near that time. Overall I am very happy with the scanner.

    This sounded like such a great product, I was very excited to order it. Once I got it, I felt like I really got ripped off. The packaging was very cheap, not even sealed,and the pen itself looked like it should have retailed for about $19.99. It completely fell apart yesterday and I had to put it back together. If this is a genuine product, it’s really sad. I feel duped for paying almost $100.00 for it. I am in college and thought this would really help me out, but it’s almost more pain than it’s worth. The red light that goes onto your page when you are scanning is so bright, it fries your eyeballs. Then, the scanning… it just puts in random things and I spend more time fixing it than if I would have just typed it in the first place. I’m sure there are much better scanners out there. Keep looking…..
