"It's
a pen sized scanner, just take your page, press the button and just
glide the pen over the page. And it will actually scan it into memory...connect
it to your laptop or computer and it uploads the page, you can actually
take the text and put it into Word and text recognition will set it
so you can play with the text...it's very light, very light weight..."
NBC

"Like
a squeegee across your windshield, the DocuPen from Planon System
Solutions picks up words and graphics right off the printed page.
A one page scan takes about 4 seconds."
"Unlike other models of handheld scanners that capture text word-by-word,
DocuPen captures the whole page in seconds."
"DocuPen could be useful for anyone needing a portable scanner
- students, lawyers, graphic artists, real estate agents - even light
office use."
ABC
News
"The
pen might have finally met its match."
"…the DocuPen can store up to 100 pages of scanned text.
Viewing the digitized pages requires a simple hook-up to any Windows
PC equipped with a USB port."
Magazines:
Newsweek
"…even
the smallest desktop scanners need to remain, well, on your desk.
The DocuPen is a portable pen-size scanner that can hold up to 100
pages…"
PROFIT
"Clutter
Killer"
"Unlike earlier pen-sized scanners, which scan text line by line,
the DocuPen allows you to scan whole pages of text or images with
one swipe of the scanner."
"...the scan quality is impressive."
Canadian
Business
"Magic
Wand"
"The DocuPen scanner frees on-the-go professionals from the tyranny
of the office..."
"...As for the quality of the scans, it's surprisingly good for
a device so portable..."
MoneySense
"...you
need something that's both practical and cool. DocuPen fits the bill
on both counts. This portable scanner is not much bigger than a pen,
yet it can scan an entire letter-sized page of text or graphics in
just four seconds."
Newspapers:
The
New York Times
"Photocopiers
work well for capturing images of conventional materials like book
chapters and income tax returns. But if you want that image in digital
form, for editing, e-mailing or just filing away on a disk, a scanner
works better. A new hand-held scanner from Planon Systems Solutions,
the DocuPen, can scan a page eight inches wide in a single sweep and
store it in its memory to be downloaded to a computer at your convenience."
Toronto
Star
"Tools
for the trendiest"
"...Planon System Solutions Inc. has developed a device that's
the size of a pen that can scan and saves pages from documents through
an up-to-down sweeping motion."
"The size of a marker pen, it captures and stores up to 100 pages
for later download."
"A
sci-fi inspired pen-size scanner that can capture an entire page of
text and graphics in four seconds and can store as many as 100 pages
in 2 megabytes of flash memory.
Real-world business app: Like a pocket-size photographic memory, the
pen scanner lets road warriors capture everything from business cards
to, ahem, classified documents that can't be copied."
"This
little device is the fastest and easiest way yet to take copious notes
from the road. The pen scanner is so double agent. Though this one
is closer to the size of a quill, or to one of those gag pens with
some kitschy gewgaw at the end, it can still be easily stashed in
a purse or briefcase. Portable scanners are no breaking news, I realize,
but what made me look twice at the DocuPen is its ability to scan
a full page of text and graphics in four to six seconds a Seabiscuit-like
pace."
"No
heavier than a pen and nearly as long as two standard-size pens, this
light and incredibly portable document scanner certainly shows promise
when it comes to creating images of documents where the quality of
the image isn't crucial."
"Remarkably
tiny has memory capacity for more than 100 scanned pages of text
extremely portable."
"It will indeed fit in a pocket, though, and it's a marvel of
miniaturization."
"After a couple of dozen scans I was a pro, able to scan perfectly
pretty much every time."
"While the image quality of the DocuPen is pretty basic, it the
highest quality portable scanner I've come across so far. It's also
straightforward to use after you've put in a little practice. The DocuPen
is ultra-portable, and it gets the job done for people who need quick
scans of text, photos and graphics."
"…and
it appeals to various groups, such as business executives, lawyers,
mortgage brokers, real estate agents, sales people, construction workers,
architects, engineers, accountants, insurance adjusters, government,
teachers, and students."
