Briliant! digitaal tekenen. Maar niet op een mac!

 

Afgezien van de prijs is dit een product waar ik letterlijk op zit te wachten. Werken de meeste tekenaars niet met een mac? Briliant voorbeeld van niet nadenken op de marketingafdeling...!

Delivers what it is supposed to

 

Using either the fast or complete install guides found on the zpen receiver itself (USB key), installation is painless and straighforward. Overall quality of the notes is good (.eli or .PDF formats). Conversion using the OCR software bundled is...

Dane-Elec - Zpen

 

The Dane-Elec Zpen is an interesting twist on traditional OCR devices and offers an easy way to take notes by hand and quickly transfer them to a computer. The package comes with a USB-compatible receiver and ...

Aside from suffering from some traditional weaknesses of handwriting recognition, namely that you need to write neatly and legibly to get accurate results, the Zpen is very effective and we can see it being useful for a range of purposes.
