I was hesitant because it has 3.9 stars, but honestly it works great. I would buy it again and yes, its worth the price.
Veramente comodo per archiviare o sottolineare dei passi di libri senza dove fare delle scansioni della pagina intera. La trascrizione del testo fedele. Pu andare direttamente in word o in altri trattamenti di testi. Molto facile dunque da usare.
I’m very impressed with this reader pen. It’s fast and accurate and I’m excited to use it to assist me with my reading.
I found it easy to get started. It scans into a web app and it has helpful features like highlighting the words while it reads them and it allows you to customize the layout with different word and letter spacings.
It also has translation and dictionary options. I don’t need the translation right now, but I can see it being very useful for others who need help with languages.
It has a ruler guide included which is pretty neat, it helps to keep steady on the line I am scanning.
All in all, it seems to be a great product and I’m very pleased with my purchase.
Era exactamente lo que esperbamos: prctico, fcil de usar, ligero y eficaz, aunque a veces le cuesta reconocer alguna palabra. Compatible con Mac
Not that the pen as many flaws but the connection and synch is not always a slam dunk (paired with an iMAC and Office 365)… But when you do connect, this is a great ally for effectiveness sakes.
Trs pratique et utile . On tlcharge l appli sur tlphone portable puis ensuite le stylet sur une phrase et il dit voix haute (si on a activ ) le texte franais en Franais. Vraiment rpond mes attentes. Je recommande
Ultimately it does save time and is actually a really nifty little gadget but there’s some design flaws which could be improved upon. Works pretty great with both left and right hand. Overall a decent product!
Je vais renvoyer le produit pour le motif ci-dessus .Retard pour cause de non proposition de dpot Pick Up
Does take a bit of getting use to, but like learning to ride a bicycle, once you get the hang of it…you just go.
OH and after sales service… AWESOME. I purchased this pen in 2016 (yep it’s still going) and the dangle broke.. dunno how BUT
I messaged Scanmaker thru Amazon
asking about purchasing a replacement and they offered to send the replacement FREEE OF COST. You read right. FREE OF COST. Now that’s the definition of after sales support/service.
If you write alot and often have to transcribe passages or paragraphs its really worth it.
En thorie c’est le un super bon lecteur. Il souligne super bien, se connecte facilement et peut presque tout lire.
En pratique… je l’ai utiliser 2 fois, le lecteur me disais de ralentir ou de garder ma ligne droite. J’ai perdu patience et j’ai pris surligneur orange la place
Es til y si usas una regla para guiar la lectura reconoce el texto a la perfeccin.
I have been using this for a couple of days now and after comparing quite a few of the scanners I’m so glad I purchased this one.
Now after a couple of days use and getting to grips with it it’s been a huge time saver and all round 5 star produc
When I bought the product there were some issues with scanning too fast, curve/wrapping texts (which is mostly my fault as I have unstable hands in general) and sometimes a word or two is missed. Although it’s not a huge drawback to me, to some it may cause some issues if you rely on accurate readings for a project or other forms of data. It is a learning curve in general like most devices.
I recommend it to those who have some challenges with typing or writing in general and want something that can scan to a word processing program that doesn’t mind some minor scanning mishaps from time to time.
Excellent I have been waiting for this all my life. Excelle
Since using Word I’ve carried on my work whilst at the same time converting older research notes into the same format.
I purchased Scanmarker Air based on the promises of it being easy to use and accurate. Once I installed the software the scanner was very straight forward to use. Being able to scan sentences at a time I have been able to edit my original notes as I’ve gone along and have found the product fantastic in this capacity.
The area where I feel a little let down is that despite what I would call a good, consistent scanning technique on my part, it would occasionally do any or some of the following:
a) not acknowledge that I had scanned anything at all
b) pick up only the first few words from the line I had scanned or miss the last few words.
c) send a load of gobbledygook to the screen (which seemed to be based on something but absolutely nothing to do with what I’d scanned)
So, it is definitely a lot faster than typing up the notes from a page with a ruler sitting on it indicating where I’m at but I haven’t been able to trust that it’s done its job and the scan is 100% correct. If this was the case, I could scan line after line without having to make sure of its accuracy.
It’s still a useful tool for my needs but…………
easy to use would have liked to be able to use it without ipad just using hearphones
Really pleased with it. My son has already said that this will be game changing at university.
The accuracy could be better, it doesn’t really like numbers and characters on the same line and it will pour out garbage if it’s doing italics to standard text on occasio
at first disapointed because I am an old man but a young friend put it in for me now very happy
Good product. I gave it a five because it is very good but. People need practice to be able to use it. Not for children as they don’t have the patience to do so, especially if the have dyslexia. So if you purchase be prepared to have time to practice.
Having read some of the reviews I became a bit scared and was quite prepared to send this back. However I managed to get it working within a few minutes on my Mac. Do not follow the instructions on the leaflet go to the Scanmarker website and download the appropriate software. I have had none of the problems mentioned by the other people. It has already translated some documents from Spanish to English for me. So far it appears fairly accurate although as with any translation device it’s better to read with a bit of caution.
I like everything about my Scanmarker. It does exactly what it is claimed to do.
I like this tool so far. It’s not as precise as I would like it to be, but it still makes my note-taking more efficient. So far, I’ve tried it on handwriting for fun, and a textbook for important note-taking for my course. The scanner picks up some of my handwriting, but not in a way that is very legible. That’s alright; I don’t really see the benefit of scanning my own handwriting.
When I scan lines in a textbook, weird characters often show up in just about every sentence. These ‘weird characters’ mostly take the form of the scanner mistaking letters like W and U for each other. These errors aren’t the end of the world because you can at least still decipher what the text is supposed to say without having to refer back to the original.
The scan marker is also finicky about the speed at which you drag the marker across the page. It can’t be too slow, and it can’t be too quickly.
I only used it for the first time today and I was impressed. I used it to make notes on a book that I’ve just read. It produced three pages of A4 in perhaps 15 minutes – though I did have to spend some time making corrections. It may well improve as I get more used to scanning. The most missable error was ‘swerved’ instead of ‘observed’. But overall, I’m impressed. Not sure that the hard case was worth the outlay, though – it comes supplied with a pouch which is probably sufficient unless you are touring.
This has been an excellent tool as I engage in PhD research! I do not have a particularly steady hand when highlighting, and this pen does a very accurate job of scanning the text. I occasionally have to fix a few things, but just a very small percentage of the text. I’m even left-handed and it works brilliantly with my reverse scanning direction. I was impressed that it’s even smart enough to fix end-of-line hyphenation (i.e. it rejoins a hyphenated word only when it’s at the end of a line–clever!).
The build quality isn’t fabulous–it’s very light, which might be nice (not hard to hold), but it can feel a bit delicate. I bought a case to store mine in to keep it safely in my bag. The scanning speed to my PC laptop, using the included Bluetooth dongle is great; it’s definitely slower when scanning to one of my iOS devices, but still okay.
All in all, I’m happy with my purchase and certainly recommend a time-saving tool like this for those needing to digitize notes/research!
I wish I had one earlier during school. Perfect for taking notes, highly accurate and the inbuilt translator works also well. I use it for writing the literature reviews during arts and humanities research.
Outstanding quality and design so easy to use and the response is instant, very pleased with this device and can recommend it to all.
My daughter wanted one of these to help her with her law degree – she says it is a game changer! Highly recommend
Once it was working on my Mac – its great!
Fast delivery, makes copying from textbooks onto laptop a lot easier, I use it all the time in university. Great for students and office staff
Works well with a bit of practice. I’m left handed and it works scanning text right to left. If you need to scan lots of text this is a very useful alternative to typing. The pen seems to struggle with numbers/ special characters and difficult to get the speed correct so you need correct errors as it often merges words together. Blue tooth keeps disconnecting so needs re-connecting frequently. Re-connecting is pretty quick though so not a big issue. Works better when using the usb. Pen was easy to set up.
Good but you need WiFi all the time to use.
Brilliant product very very happy that I bought this I would encourage anyone to buy one
Love this pen! Easy to connevt and use (Windows 10). I would say to about 99% of the time it is accurate, but alot depends on what you are scanning and the quality of the text.
Limitation 1 – I simply cannot get a good scan without using a ruler or straight edge to keep it straight. The product guidelines say that the software self corrects for small wavers in freehand scanning but if you are scanning books, as I do, rather than a flat sheet of paper, … well, you will have to re-scan or correct it manually. So… use a ruler. I use a drafter’s triangle which has a conveniently placed handle to hole in place. Works like a charm and a very high scan accuracy except for limitation 2.
Limitation 2 – Words that curve into the fold. This scanner is very sensitive to the speed of the scan as well as the flatness of the page. When scanning lines in a book, as you approach the margin near the fold the scanner tends to slip and you get deformed text or graphic. If you slow down as you approach the end of the line it can also give you an error message and just simply not pick up the words.
If you recognize its limits, then this product does well. I use it a fair amount and the only real pain for me is the second limitation. I can’t afford one of those big whole page scanners so this one will remain my staple.
I take study notes using progressive summarization (HT Tiago Forte). This device is perfect for those books that aren’t available on Kindle. It works really well with my Android phone and setup is quick and simple.
I am very impressed with the quality of the product. I happy with the product.
Best digital pen to have, the instruction manual is easy to follow and to setup the digital pen. It works fine and makes life easy.
Took a bit of getting used to but once you get a bit of practice it is very useful and quite effective.
Generally works well and can manage most printed text I frequently use. White text on coloured background was an issue however.
It’s light and comfortable in the hand and guiding the scan, speed and angle of the unit is straight forward
I’m a lefty so can configure it to scan right to left which was essential to getting the word rate up.
Battery life is modest lasting 1-2 hours at most. Full charge is over an hour for me.
The software is basic with limited in app functionality.
However the main requirement for me establishing and maintaining Bluetooth connectivity and OCR. It does these well.
In summary happy with the purchase
A very clever product , I love it, yes takes a bit of practice but once you get the hang of it it’s amazing!! The lighter and more relaxed I am the better it scans love not having to transcribe things and it reads out to me on iPad. Translation is available, thanks Scanmarker brilliants
A GREAT help for a primary school teacher like me!
Extremely useful, great app, works quickly. Better for text than images even though it has the option for small images. And looks good. Very high quality.
A wonderful company to deal with, kind and understanding to our childs needs .the product is simply fantastic
Die “Anleitung” besteht aus einer A6-A5 Seite. Fr eine Karteikarte mit den Tipps fr das Scannen, die man in der Anwendung unter Hilfe findet, hat es nicht gereicht. Ohne dieses Wissen werden die Ergebnisse aber nicht brauchbar.
Die Scanqualitt ist in dem Rahmen, den ich von meinen kaputten c-Pen gewohnt war. (Tendenziell schlechter). Das bedeutet kleine Funoten werden richtig erkannt, nur am Anfang und Ende wird mal ein Zeichen zu viel oder zu wenig erkannt. Es ist nicht vorgesehen, das er direkt in die Android-Anwendung scannt. Aber den Scan dann noch mal in die Apps z. B. Mendeley zu kopieren, ist doch nur mhselig. (Auf dem PC geht es.) Ich hatte bisher einen cpen 800, cpen TS und cpen 3.5 die alle kaputtgegangen sind. Der “Auslser” scheint beim Scanmaker deutlich stabiler zu sein. Wenigstens einen Input zu Mendeley sollten Sie noch ermglichen.
I’m currently Senior Tutor Aircraft Engineering at STAC Harlow, this little tool has been invaluable in the transmission of the printed word to computer programs such as PowerPoint.
Devo dire che non sono affatto pentito dell’acquisto sia per l’entusiasmo che ha sortito il regalo graditissimo, sia per l’evidente miglioramento del software.
Ci sono ancora ampi margini di perfezionamento, ma il prodotto risponde bene.
Occorrer prenderci un po’ la mano per tarare la velocit di sottolineatura, ma davvero facilissimo da utilizzare.
Non accade sempre, ma talvolta (presumibilmente perch avrete sottolineato troppo velocemente o troppo lentamente) potrebbe non riconoscere alcune parole e commettere alcuni errori di trascrizione.
Legge bene i fogli stampati, ma se la cava molto bene anche con etichette e confezioni.
Legge diversi fonts.
La trascrizione ha la lettura vocale.
Anche la traduzione sembra efficiente. Mi riservo , comunque, di testarla ulteriormente.
Sicuramente, a mio avviso, il miglior device sul mercato.
Vi lascio un video per rendere meglio l’idea della funzionalit del dispositivo.
Ci impiegher una settimana o poco meno ad arrivare, poich giunge dall’estero.
P.S. Trattandosi di un prodotto piuttosto nuovo, ho preferito, in questo caso, sottoscrivere la polizza per l’estensione della garanzia.
J’ai longuement hsit a acheter ce dernier par rapport son concurrent Belge plus cher.
Je me suis fi aux avis publis sur Amazon et je n’ai pas m’en plaindre.
Il n’y a plus de problmes signals concernant la non reconnaissance des apostrophes ou des tirets car le logiciel est maintenu et les avis des utilisateurs semblent tre pris en compte.
l’insertion directe dans Word avec ou sans traduction directe fonctionne trs bien, s’en est presque magique !
Bref beaucoup de temps gagn en perspective.
Le seul petit bmol, c’est la qualit de la traduction qui est approximative (Franais -> Anglais ou inversement).
Mais je ne l’ai pas achet pour cela et il existe des moteurs de traduction sur le Net que je ne nommerai pas qui sont bien plus efficaces.
Sans me prononcer sur la durabilit du produit, je recommande vraiment pour celles ou ceux qui ont a ressaisir du texte pour l’inclure dans leurs documents (thse notamment) !
Scanning text that I needed to note without typing academic uses
Having had nearly two weeks of pracice I can say it is a very good product and saves me lots of time.
Some people complained abut accurracy. I have found only two sources of problems:
1) user skill. It works best when moved in a swift smooth straight line across the printed page. My skill in doing this is very good after a week or so of practice.
2) If the page cannot be laid flat, sometimes the end of the text line won’t scan perfectly. This is mostly an issue with softcover books which won’t lie flat when open.Most hard bound books can be laid almost flat and scanning is very easy. Even with softcover , with a little effort the book can be placed on the desk and held firmly with one finger while scanning with the other hand.
I didn’t buy it for translation but I have amused myself scanning some of President Trump’s tweets into Spanish and Italian and the result is, to my eye, quite acurrate and interesting! I have not done a thorough check on other langugaes.
Simply brilliant! You need a bit of practice how to scan properly but only a couple of strokes. It’s true what they say, do it fairly quickly and the result is absolutely accurate. Really great product!
I am using it with my Samsung Galaxy 6(Android), and it was working within 5 min of trying to get it setup. Very easy to use. I tried setting it up with an older Android tablet, but the app was not compatible (something to be aware of if you have an older Android!).
Things to get used to:
– I noticed that it seems to scan best when you try to be smooth and scan faster rather than slower (as the tips suggest). But when you get the technique down, it really does a nice job recognizing the correct letters.
– I sometimes noticed the first or last words being left out of lines that I scanned. Apparently I need to scan a few spaces in front of the line, then keep going past the last word in the line a little too.
– It doesn’t scan apostrophes very well (it usually just leaves them out)
– When a line ends in a hyphen (to designate the middle of a word), it usually just puts a space between the first half of the word and the second half of the word (requiring you to go back manually and delete that space).
– There is a limit to how big of font it will scan (then it just starts to scans in a funny way). Some chapter titles were hard to scan, but you won’t have problems with normal text.
A possible area of improvement (it’d be great if the developer notes this!):
– As another reviewer noted, it would be really nice if they updated the app so that if you don’t like the line you just scanned, with the press of a button it would allow you to delete it and try again. As of right now, it is a pain in the butt to delete the whole line (either hold down backspace for 100 characters until it is deleted, or highlight with your fingers the words you want deleted – either way it just takes way too long)
