Fast , easy to use, OCR much better than most.

 

Has more memory that you could use, with the option of getting more, excellent software loaded on the pen (dictionary, OCR, voice, etc...) I looked at comparable models before I purchased it. By far the best.

Seemlessly connects to my PDA, and Desktop computer to transfer info gathered during the day

Graphic scanning so so

Unusable and Worthless

Please, people, take these negative reviews seriously

This product is almost impossible to configure with your PC unless you have a PhD in computer science. NOTHING works out of the box...I've tried to follow some of the suggestions that other reviewers have posted with no result. There is little if any...

Once you get it to work it is very useful

 

Once you get it to work it is very useful

As many others, I wasted 2 hours before I got this device (synchronization) to work. As someone said the whole product seems as if they stopped developing 5 years ago. But keep in mind that devices produced some years ago can still be very useful ;)...

Works great

I purchased the superpen mostly for my kids to able to conveniently look up words while reading to help improve their vocabulary. The pen works great at this task and even pronounces the word. The scanning is fairly reliable - most scans work on the...
