It takes some practice, it’s not quicker than reading (as a dyslexic) and it’s hard for (me as) lefties. It’s not 100% accurate. And too expensive. But, overall cool gadgets.

Great

Windows'a kutu içinden çıkan dongle ile bağlamak gerekiyor. Dizüstü windows bilgisayarımın dahili bluetoothu ile bağlanamadım (Win10). Mac Mini bilgisayarımda ise dongle işlevsiz ille de dahili bluetooth ile bağlamak gerekiyor ancak ona da tanıtana kadar akla karayı seçtim. Bir kere tanıttıktan sonra ise hiç bir sorun çıkmıyor. Tarayıcıyı çalıştırıp yazılımı açtığınız an kullanıma hazır. Lazerinin rengi beyaz, kablolu olanınki kırmızı idi, kırmızı lazer çok göz alıyor yoruyor ağrıtıyor, beyaz lazer çok çok daha iyi. Hatasız okuma oranı kablolu versiyona göre düşük. Bataryayı tamamen boşaltacak kadar denemedim ancak günü kurtaracak gibi görünüyor. Bir paragrafın tümünü taratmak istediğinizde genelde sonlara doğru yavaşlıyor ve uzun bir süre boş bekleyip sonra bir anda aktarıyor (Word). Kablolu şekilde kullanımda süre kısalıyor tabi ki. Bazen normal bir yazıyı saçma sapan harfler ve semboller şeklinde aktarsa da genel olarak çok güzel bir ürün. Ciddi manada zaman kazandırıyor. Çeviri özelliği güzel çalışıyor. Seslendirme özelliği de gayet güzel, ki zaten işletim sistemiyle alakalı bu durum. Uzun metinleri tararken düzeltme yapma ihtiyacınız oluyor illa ki. Mesela çocukların kelimesini çocuklann şeklinde matematik kelimesini ınateınatik gibi okuyabiliyor. İtalik yazılarda hata payı artıyor. El yazısı okuma neredeyse hiç yok ya da benim el yazım kötü bilemiyorum. Barkod okuması zorlayıcı, gerçi kim niye bununla barkod okutma ihtiyacı duyar bilmiyorum. Narin bir alet fazla zorlamaya gelmez, yine de kalitesiz gibi durmuyor. Yazılımı IRISPen yazılımı ile birebir aynı. IRISPen yazılımı ile de kullanılabilir. Zaten yükleme ekranının sonunda ereşilebilirlik izin isteği soruyor orada da IRISPen şeklinde pencere açıyor (Mac Os). Fiyatı biraz tuzlu ancak değer mi? Bence değer.

I'm an academic and this is a great device. Caveat: when I got mine, it would not stay connected to my computer. I filed a request for assistance on their web page (as per instructions) and they got back to me within a few hours. We set up a phone appointment, and in less than 10 minutes they corrected the problem, and I've had zero difficulties since. Now, with that caveat, here is my review: this is a very targeted device. It has one primary job, and it does it splendidly. That job is to copy text from the book or paper you are reading (or from a Kindle: it works flawlessly with kindle paperwhite reader) from the page, into your notes. It will scan into Scrivener, into Word, into Pages, into plain text. It does so quickly and accurately and reliably.Why would you pay to have that done? Why not just type the quotes in yourself?Well, you could, but this is so much faster and more accurate. And when you are doing initial research on a project, your first weeks involve little more gathering quotes and possible notes from others. You can spend an entire day in the library doing nothing but collecting relevant snippets for your paper, and during those long hours, this device is a godsend. You get so much more done in so much less time. You scan in your quote (maybe even a paragraph or two) in no more time than it would take you to highlight it. Then type in your comments and cross-references and the whole thing is already sitting in your notes, and so what, in earlier days would have been your highlights and your marginalia are suddenly already filed away and they are both searchable text-- so you can actually find that quote again when you need it. Brilliant. Especially if you are working with library texts that you cannot highlight, this is great.Pros: speed, accuracy, battery life, workload reduction, faster research and writing: all plus plus plus.The only con, and it's a reach: This is not a device for older texts-- I am thinking here of anything 18th century or before--even some 19th century. Like any OCR scanner, the software simply cannot read the older fonts. Additionally, you should be aware that the pen lights up strongly as it scans and transfers text, so any text the library will not let you photograph with a flash will not be available for use with this pen either. Also, this is a text only device. It will not scan formulae or images. But even with that sort of very limited limit, this thing is worth its weight in gold to any academic or student. I've a dear young man in my life who is headed off to university this year, and I will absolutely be purchasing a second one of these to send with him. I don't doubt he'll put some miles on the thing.

Att läsa OCR-nummer och det gör den bra.

Habe mir den Scanmarker fürs Studium zugelegt weil ich beim Schreiben von Zusammenfassungen nicht immer alles doppelt machen wollte.Das Produkt war innerhalb weniger Tage geliefert und wurde sogleich getestet.Nach der Installation der Software konnte es auch schon sofort losgehen.Es wird ein kurzes und verständliches Tutorial geboten in welchem man auch seine ersten Versuche "unter Aufsicht" durchführen kann und die Funktionen erklärt werden.Der Stift wurde mit dem mitgelieferten Dongle sofort erkannt und war im Handumdrehen einsatzbereit.Es braucht zwar 5-10 Minuten bis man die richtige Geschwindigkeit raus hat mit der der Marker das beste Ergebnis liefert aber danach ist er ein zuverlässiger Helfer.Er meistert sowohl Zeilenumbrüche als auch Satzzeichen oder verschiedene Schriftgrößen und Schriftarten problemlos.Auch wenn er dafür denke ich nicht ausgelegt ist habe ich es auch geschafft handschriftliche Notizen (schöne Schrift!) damit zu scannen.Wenn man zu schnell scannt wird ab und an ein Buchstaben falsch gesendet aber dadurch dass der Rest des Wortes übereinstimmt ist das wenn ich nach Word scanne innerhalb von Sekunden berichtigt. Sollte man viel zu schnell/langsam wird man von der Software gewarnt und kann die Geschwindigkeit entsprechend anpassen.Auch den optimalen Winkel findet man leicht weil (vielleicht Absicht?) der Widerstand mit dem der Scanmarker über das Papier gleitet sich ändert. Dennoch wird auch dünnes und empfindliches Papier dadurch nicht beschädigt oder verkratzt.Um diesen Preis habe ich mir zwar schon ein brauchbares Produkt erwartet aber diese Erwartungen wurden bei Weitem übertroffen.Fazit: Ich bin schwer begeistert und kann den Marker jedem empfehlender oft viel zusammenfassen muss oder der sich einfach etwas Arbeit ersparen möchte.
