Comments about IRISPen Express 6 Pen Scanner:
I've been using this pen for a while and it does save a lot of time as I am working with big books. You will need to play with it for a while before getting used to it. Before I purchased this one, I've tried some similar products (with better price) but decided to go with this one.
Both the pen and the software are not fancy, but they do what they are supposed to do. If you need to get a lot of info from books and are tired of typing all the time, this may be a helpful tool to get.
I've been using with with books with smaller fonts and the accuracy level is acceptable so there is nothing to complain.

Comments about IRISPen Express 6 Pen Scanner:
The product is essentially good but it does not always pick up all the words. There is around a 10 to 15 % amount of correct needed. The way you hold the pen and the speed affects the accuracy. It does save typing time if you are not good typist like me.

Comments about IRISPen Express 6 Pen Scanner:
So far the pen has done exactly what I wanted it to do. It's super easy to use as far as getting it to copy into a word document. My only problem is getting used to holding it the right way to get the text scanned properly.
