Customer Reviews:

5 out of 5 stars Excellent tool for your thesis.......2007-10-18

A great tool in my opinion. Much better when compared to all the other pens in the market. Really saves a lot of time and money. Although there are a few mistakes in reading text, once the pen goes through the learning phase, these minor errors can be resolved. Overall, I give a 5/5 for this pen...go ahead and order one for yourself...

5 out of 5 stars dream pen.......2007-07-12

Got my C-pen recently, and already have transferred so much text from books into my computer. It's a wonderful device with very well worked out software to ensure seamless operation. I would never need my flatbed scanner and OCR for scanning texts anymore, which is quite an unwieldy operation most of the time. Hope this product doesn't get discontinued anytime soon. I hope to be using it for a long time.

3 out of 5 stars good.......2007-06-08

in a general sense, this c-pen seems OK, but:

- there shouldn't be too much light (this is a problem especially at night time, i.e. under a bulb)
- you shouldn't expect too much accuracy; i'm using it for Turkish texts and the overall accuracy is around 80%.
- quality of the book also effects the result
- tables and figures can't be scanned, of course
- and finally, you've to be connected to your computer during operation.

Yet, i'm happy with this thing. It reduces the labour necessary to extract large amounts of text. Could be useful especially for PhD students.

5 out of 5 stars Great Product .......2007-02-28

I feel completely compelled to write this review for the C-Pen 20. It far exceeds my expectation. I am a graduate student, working on a doctorate at Harvard University. It is a tool, or better yet, a weapon that has reduced my time tremendously. I wish I had it while going through my master's program.

I would say that it is about 90% accurate right out of the box without any training. I have had it about 3 weeks now, and with improved technique, I have increased its accuracy to about 95% - 97%. I have found it helpful to always perform the stroke left - right. It is easier for 2 reason, 1) that is the way humans read and 2) you don't have to readjust the position of your hand.

I would recommend it to anyone who has to do research, or persons who are in a profession where previous documentation is necessary.

4 out of 5 stars C-Pen made short work of longhand!.......2007-02-09

This pen was easy to work right away. When copying text from magazines, it copied most text well. The only problem was that it mistook letters sometimes, especially h's which became ii's. When I would scan from line to line, I would frequently get gobbily-gook. A readable copy required backtracking through the text to fix obvious problems. A perfect copy would take much longer, almost to the point of not saving time. Sometimes whole lines were missed but I could easily insert them. I would never trust the pen to copy without monitoring because of the loss of lines and the unreadable words.
