Product Description
For something so small (not larger than a fat permanent marker) the C-Pen 800 is very powerful, combining scanning capabilities with 8Mb of Flash memory and infrared communication between a compatible PC, along with Palm and Pocket PC handhelds. By far the most impressive tool, and certainly the most useful, is the scanning technology. This works via a tiny digital camera at the base of the C-Pen that is activated when it is swiped across a page. Capable of reading text at speeds up to 15cm/s, C-Pen can be used to read single lines and paragraphs of text and, if need be, whole articles. A handy supplement to the scanning capabilities is the C Dictionary, which allows you to install several bilingual Oxford or Norsted dictionaries onto the C-Pen. The dictionaries can then be used to translate text, simply by scanning the relevant text with the translation clearly displayed on the C-Pen. The display screen is of a decent size, and can be altered depending on whether you are left or right-handed. Navigation is carried out through the use of a nifty wheel on the top of the device - scroll it up and down to navigate through menus and press in to select an item. With C-Pen 800 you have your tasks fulfilled in minutes just with the help of a pen!

C-Pen 800 rocks
I love my c-pen, this thing takes about 1 hour to get good with, the mistakes that it makes are rare but consistent, once you figure them out you catch them right away.I am a law student and this makes briefing and getting quotes exactly right easy!For the money this is the best little helper I have.The dictionary is a nice benefit and the battery lasts forever-like a week or two with frequent use....

Easy way to organize
No more clutter or mess, with all the business cards and no more trying to write everything into my Palm. Now all I do is scan the card and beam it to my Palm. I love it!!! I scan notes from others to take with me, I scan articles in magazines that I need. I even use it for the class that I am taking, to quick scan (highlight) points of interest in class books. I can share all my infomation with my Palm. Hey wouldn't it be great if you could get a Scan Pen/Palm/Cell Phone all in one. I know I would...

Absolutely incredible
My friend has one of these and I am going to order one as soon as I find some money lying around. I scanned a page of a textbook and it only got a few letters wrong which I consider really awesome considering that my two-hundred dollar scanner and five-hundred dollar OCR software gets at least 50 characters wrong per-page. If you have massive ammounts of homework like I do, get one of these and you can just scan all the answers straight out of the book. I promise, this product is worth every cent...

Fairly Accurate,Nice editing features, Useful s/w
When I got this product, I was a little disappointed with its scanning accuracy.But later after a firmware upgrade, I found it to improve dramatically.It does take some time to getting used to.But once you know all the features, it is very easy to use. I gives very good accuracy for text with standard fonts. Non-Standard fonts and very small(fine prints) does create some problem.I do not think that OCR need to be perfect, it just needs to be consistent(and not gramatically correct like quicklink...

C-Pen 800 is great
I just bought the C-Pen 800. It has a built in battery and comes with a carring case. The battery seem to last typically a week. I think C-Pen is much better than the 600 and 200 because of the built in battery. I mainly use the C-Pen for the dictionary which comes with the purchase of a 800. And you get to choose which dictionary you want. The dictionary is great. I am using a webster and it gives everything that's important. Only thing it doesn't give is the pronunciation and sentences. It takes...
