Scanpen :
In the coming age of mobile technology, data acquisition peripherals like scanners have to get really small if they're to be as portable as, say, a Palm organizer.

Hand-held scanners have an undistinguished pedigree. Mention them to many computer users and the image that comes to mind is a "handy scanner"; the inexpensive but, frankly, lousy contraptions that had a scan head about half a page wide with an encoder wheel on either side of it. You dragged the scanner as evenly as you could across the thing you wanted to scan, the speed the wheels turned told it how fast it was moving, and when the scan was done you turned to the computer and beheld... a wiggly, uneven scan with somewhat variable brightness. Handy-scanners have been pretty much obliterated by the rise of dirt cheap and, for the money, generally excellent flatbed units. But a flatbed scanner is not, by any stretch of the imagination, a nifty pocket-sized gadget. In the coming age of mobile technology, data acquisition peripherals like scanners have to get really small if they're to be as portable as, say, a Palm organizer.

Imagine having the capabilities of a bulky flatbed scanner in a device that slips into your pocket! If you sit at a desk all day long this may not be important to you. But if you're a mobile professional who occasionally needs to capture printed text from a page wherever you are, this pocket scanner might be very important. You might be a student needing to copy a paragraph or two for a report, or a businessperson wanting to make a quick copy of a sales agreement. You might even be sitting on the beach reading a book of poetry and find a few lines you want to copy and send to a friend. Whatever you might be doing, you can now scan text with the help of the QuickLink Pen.

The ScanPen by WizCom Technologies is a small, hand-held, fully self-contained text scanner. It's an ergonomically designed device about the size of a large marker pen, that weighs a mere three ounces including batteries! The scanner at the tip of the Pen is angled to insure proper scanning. Seven small buttons just below the display let you access the Pen's functions. The scanned text is displayed on a 3-line green LCD display in easy-to-read black text. The QuickLink Pen can turn the text upside down, making it easy for left-handed users to operate the device. The Pen scans left-to-right or right-to-left, and its tip has a guiding line and rollers to make text scanning a snap! However, a steady hand and good hand/eye coordination are still required for the best results.
