      Comments about IRIS IRISPen™ Executive 6 Handheld Scanner:

      Please do not ignore the negative reviews for this product like I did. I typically take all negative reviews with a grain of sand, but this time I should have listened. This thing could not read hand written type, it could not read typed words on a page. It needed constant calibration and there were almost no instructions to help with this. All I wanted to use it for was to scan phone numbers from pages we had, to an excel file. Nothing fancy. Nothing over the top. And this thing could not do it. Please do not make the same mistake I made.

              The product itself is easy to use, unfortunately the software isn't up to par. The software only translates parts of the text or not at all, especially handwriting. Also it's hard to start a new scan, the software is incredibly difficult to navigate and it's frustrating.

                        A:

                        The IRISPen 6 works just like a highlighter: simply slide it over printed information from books, newspapers, magazines, faxes, invoices, etc. What you get is real and editable text, right at your cursor.



                        It comes with its own OCR software (not Omnipage)

                        The following languages are available: Brazilian (Portuguese), British English, Dutch, English, French, German, Italian, Russian.

                        The speech synthesis feature is available in the language that was chosen at the installation for speech synthesis.

                    • Q:

                      I'm a leftie - so if I use my left hand will it work accurately and promptly? And, as a leftie will I be able to access the buttons with my left hand's fingers?

                      The product's packaging depicts someone using their right hand - but NOT everybody's a rightie ya' know?! (As the office supply industry emphasizes in its products' advertisements and designs)!
