IRIS 457887 Executive 7 IRISPen USB Pen-Scanner

I bought this to use on titles but it does not work for that. It must be block letters, it works but the product could be better. I'm not sure its a problem with this product but more the technology hasn't been invented to make this work flawlessly yet.

I'm computer proficent but this company allowed a product to be sent out that did not include the software on cd/dvd and according to mulitple reviews they know that the USB is not enough to power this without the additional software. No problem I went to the link on their technical support and downloaded it myself. Stil not enough power. Everything appears to be installed but still doesn't work, the pen lights up but no scanning. Its the light to nowhere. They also did not include the calibration sheet, I also went to their site to download the pen calibration sheet. Nope still nothing. I have two laptops one with windows 7 and one with windows 8. It doesn't work on either one. The company just circles around the issue. Tech support is not support if I have to do everything myself. Also you will see under the driver properties that it installs as Pro Scan 1. According ot many techy sites we need Proscan 1.3. There is no link to update this driver on IRIS support. I have hunted in multiple areas of their site and others for a phone number. Still nothing, submitted a ticket, still no contact other than the same aforementioned links that do not resolve. I spent all weekend being my own tech support for IRIS.. Now it's the weekday, still

This may be the best electronic device I ever purchased. When I read a book, I highlight meaningful passages. The problem? I can never recall which book I read that gave me an idea. And, I never know what part of the book I read. With this pen, I scan all my highlights right into Google Docs. The highlighted parts of the books I read recently are all in one Google Docs document complete with a table of contents and page number reference. Scanning the highlights is very quick, versus typing them all in. This is very helpful due to the number of words I can read per minute. I read a lot! This pen helps me keep all the ideas stay organized. The ONLY downside is that you have to be connected to a PC/Laptop to scan. That's not a huge downside for me.

I've just started using this but so far it works well enough. There are some problems with word recognition but nothing to difficult to fix. I got this to use scanning books to enter into my Kindle so I'll update when I've completed the job

finding it very difficult to handle at first, but once you get use to it, it works fine. Just do not try to use on text that you have underlined. it can not read that

I love this product. It makes reading school materials much easier and works on many different media.

Don't waste your money! Difficult to install. Once installed, if you don't have the "Midas" touch, whatever you highlight just looks like gibberish! This product is not effective and frankly is just a waste of time. I'm better off typing my notes.

Excellent product. It sets up easily. It will change your life.

Fonctionne mieu que vous le croyez

The Canon iRis Pen does not pick up all the words/letters/symbols which it is intended to do. Therefore, Amazon should take up this issue with Canon.

Fonctionne mal , pas très précis

It is sheer wastage of money.Did not work.Really disappointed

AWESOME IT SAVED ME STUDYING AND LOTS OF TIME
