## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐ A novelty to impress your friends
*by W***2 on February 16, 2001*

Initially I was stunned by this technology. I scanned text from books, the newspaper, nutrition information off a candy bar wrapper... all with reasonably good results. Once I started to use if for serious work, I was substantially less impressed. I had planned to collect specific data fields from a printed directory; instead of using a sheet-feed flat-bed scanner followed by heavy cut&paste, I thought I could just selectively hand-scan the needed data fields. While the OCR accuracy might be acceptable for short passages, the error frequency becomes unacceptable when more text is collected. The frequency of errors was so great that I went back to the flat-bed and cut&paste. I like the ergonomics of the unit. I am trying to figure out what I can still do this device.

### ⭐ Don't expect any miracles!
*by A***R on December 12, 2000*

If you are expecting this pen to make your life as a student a whole lot easier....don't count on it. This technology has a very long way to go. I asked for the c-pen 600 for my birthday. I was expecting it to help me with writing my college-level research papers by providing an easy way for me to import and edit text into my word documents. Little did I know, my 2 year-old nephew can read better than this pen. I had trouble getting it to read the text in its own instruction booklet, and as far as photocopied pages (such as journal articles and other research materials), forget it!Here is an example of the mistakes that this pen makes:The c-pen is a very useful tool.Gets translated to:Fhe c-pen is @ veyr useful tolo.Pros:1. Good idea.2. Works well if you don't actually need to use the info that you collect with the pen.3. Easy to use.Cons:1. Doesn't work well at all.2. Expensive price.3. Using the c-write function, it takes you 5 minutes to write your name.I hope that this review has been helpful. I wrote it because the average rating on this product is WAY too high. I just don't want anyone else to get duped like I did.-Jake

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ DON'T WORRY... it's worth the money!
*by D***T on August 9, 2005*

I received my c-pen 600c this morning and, within only an hour or so, it was up and running. A couple of trial goes with the pen and you are soon scanning like a pro.DON'T WORRY IF YOU HAVE WINDOWS XP - some of the previous reviewers of the 600c and 800 have complained about compatibility with windows XP but I had no problems. You go to the c-pen website and just download the update - easy!My 'first-timer' advice - do a trial scan with the pen and remember you have to 'exit' and it will then give you the option to 'save'. Save it (file name 'test' or whatever). Then go online and download the update. The 'my c-pen' icon will show on your desktop. Connect your pen to the computer via cable of IFR and make sure the pen is ON. ONLY then, go into 'my c-pen' and the 'test' file should show.DON'T WORRY IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS - I sent an email to the c-pen support team (just about the possibility of getting a USB cable instead of the COM port cable - one feature of the c-pen that isn't so good) and had an answer within a couple of hours.ACCURACY - it is hit and miss which you sort of expect with this kind of gadget. Sometimes it is brilliant and other times it just can't get it! Be vigilant - check the screen reads correctly before doing the next line - and you'll be fine. It's really easy to delete the last line scanned and try again. A flat surface seems to be a must.IS IT WORTH IT? - I got a pretty good deal on my pen - I wouldn't really have liked to spend over £100 for this. However, it is an investment if you spend a lot of time typing out text (I'm a postgraduate student doing research and I know this is going to be an invaluable tool). I am also impressed with the amount of text memory (1500 pages) - great for long days in the library.In closing, I would like to urge you not to be scared off by the previous reviews - in my experience it isn't so bad at all!
