3 out of 5 stars A worthy product!!!   September 4, 2008

I recently purchased the Wizcom Infoscan3 Lite pen scanner. Wonderful device to use. It keeps me from having to utilize place holders and Post It flags which adds to the clutter of my home. With that said, the product works well in an upright position. I have no problems scanning using public transportation or uneven surfaces.

After a month, I lost the lower portion of the display screen and am returning the device for a refund. A refund because I was so satisfied that I am upgrading the the Wizcom SuperPen Professional to alleviate the only scanning issue I had. As a web designer, I would like to scan code with special characters and the Infoscan3 forced me to edit... not too accurate.

I believe you can't ask for better technology without investing in a good product that gets better. Infoscan3 is a great choice.



4 out of 5 stars Great tool for researchers   June 25, 2008

As a researcher, I purchased this for on-site data collection from files (e.g., scanning in contact information from agency records). As long as the printed text is good quality--which most is these days given laser printing--the Infoscan is quite accurate. The screen allows one to quickly verify accuracy, and there is an un-do button if you find you've scanned too carelessly and thereby gotten errors. Taking this tool onsite to collect data from archival records is much quicker, less of a hassle, and less disruptive (if you are collecting from someone else's files) than carrying in a laptop and typing in data. Overall, I'm very pleased with the Infoscan, and I'm surprised more folks aren't using these in research contexts. From reading online reviews, it appears some alternate models may be better for people wishing to scan full pages or large portions of text, but for small snippets and notes, the Infoscan works great.


1 out of 5 stars not usable - too slow   March 24, 2008

This is a cute product. It recognizes the text with OK accuracy. Is able to work left or right-handed. The big problem is, it is just way way too slow to be usable. You scan one line, then you have to wait over five seconds. It takes so long that by the time you go to do the next line, you forgot which line you just did, you have to wait so long even if the line is a very short column. I had to send it back.

This item does work, but you have to scan very, very slowly and carefully or you end up with a garbled mess. I type faster than that!

I purchased this pen last weekend, installed it, but when I tried to scan a sentence from a book that I was reading, I kept getting this:

Not worth the price for a pen that doesn't scan well. It is better to type your own document than waste hours of trying to scan a page.
