The pen scanner
The IRISPen is a pen scanner that has the size and shape of a
highlighter. It connects to your computer's USB port and does not
require any external power supply. The IRISPen is equipped with a
scanning head and a line guide, a roller, and two programmable
buttons.
The line guide is used to properly position the pen on the line to be
captured.
The roller enables to easily roll the pen onto the paper and acts as a
start switch.
The two pen buttons are programmable.
When you press the IRISPen onto a piece of paper, you turn it on,
and when you lift the IRISPen away, the scanning ends. A green
beam lights up the text area as you scan it.
The OCR technology
The IRISPen integrates the latest OCR (Optical Character
Recognition) engine developed by I.R.I.S. It is able to recognize
lines of text with top accuracy in up to 125 languages. All
American and European languages are supported, including
Central-European languages. Greek, Turkish, the Cyrillic
("Russian") and the Baltic languages and Hebrew are also
supported. Optionally, the IRISPen reads Asian documents in
Japanese, Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese and Korean.
The IRISPen reads virtually any font, in a wide variety of styles
and point sizes (from 8 to 20 points), as well as special characters,
reading marks, special symbols, and formatting elements such as
vertical lines separating table cells.
