Product Description

C-Pen is a mobile information collector that reads, remembers, processes and transfers printed text to your Windows-equipped PC and PDA products. C-Pen is in essence an electronic highlighter that saves the text you are marking. Carry it with you wherever you go! Make it a habit to take your portable text collector with you, and you are always ready to read and save text from books, papers, brochures or business cards. You can easily record price-lists, timetables, wine tips or witty quotes. You don't have to tear out pages any more. With the portable dictionary you can translate and look up words immediately without carrying around a printed dictionary! Your saved text files can later be transferred to your PC. It is also possible to use C-Pen to read text directly into a Windows application in your PC.

NO SUPPORT

Let's be honest.This product ain't cheap. It's not something you can just throw away if it decides to stop working.I bought mine at cpenusa.com. Delivery was great, only took them a couple of days. However, my c-pen cable was damaged. The connector to the c-pen was, for some reason, cut in half. Without it, you can't recharge or connect the c-pen to the pc.I called their main office all the way in Sweden during the office hours. NO RESPONSE. I sent three e-mails to cpenusa. NO RESPONSE.I don't care...

Thoughts on the CPen 800c

I'm just going to chime in with a few random thoughts on this product:- Since it appears Amazon no longer carries the product, I got mine from cpenusa.com. I ordered on a Thursday night and it shipped the next day. It arrived at my door the following Monday, so I have no complaints.- Another reviewer said that the device did not come with a US adapter for the European charager, but mine did.- The CD that came with mine had the latest drivers for Windows XP on it- You'll need either a serial or infrared...

Great scanner, terrible Mac support

As most other reviews have noted, the CPen 800c and 600c are great devices.They work well, and with relatively high accuracy.The interface is a bit complicated at times, but is relatively intuitive.However, as other reviews have noted, the CPen support and technical systems are terrible.One must even pay extra for a USB converter, as the CPen only comes with a old-fashionaed serial port link. Tech service is virtually non-existent.Even more striking is the fact that there is almost no Mac support...

CPEN has no TECH support

The CPEN promises to be an excellent product. If you can get the support and extras needed to make it work. The CPEN comes with an European charger. So, go out and get a US/European adapter in order to charge it. The CPEN does not come with a USB connection cable. It comes with a 9 pin serial cable. So if you do not have a Serial Port, go out and spend $40.00 on a USB-Serial Converter Cable. Wait, not done yet.. If your computer does not have a USB-Serial Controller Driver then you still cannot...

Excellent scanner

I bought this item, since I always make a lot of notes from books and other papers, and don't want to type it in manually anymore. This scanner, probably like any other model, needs a little training to get it right over the paper, but once done, it really works and faster than typing!I dont use the addressbook or options with your GSM but they are no doubt very handy.I just scan in from papers, and beam it to my laptop. Both Infrared and the cable work. The cable is especially great for using the...
