Scanmarker Air Pen Scanner - OCR Digital Highlighter and Reader - Wireless (Mac Win iOS Android) (Black)

Product Information

Portable, lightweight and easy to use. The USB-connected version of Scanmarker Air for those who only require scanning to computer. The pen scanner is one of the best modern pieces of technology that is able to scan an image, machine printed or handwritten text and, by taking advantage of the Optical Character Recognition technology (OCR), it can convert the scanned data into machine encoded text, therefore making it available for easy editing (the data can be immediately loaded in a text editor), automatic translation to another language, text-to-speech applications (useful for visually impaired and blind users, as well as for people that suffer from dyslexia – it is also a key element for A.I. development) and overall for a better preservation of the data (such as old books, which would require significant more time and work to survive the passage of time).

While looking for the best pen scanner, you are likely to find numerous options and you need to understand the subtle differences between them to get a really long-lasting and convenient tool. We have covered the major factors that you need to consider before deciding on a particular device. Scanning SpeedsAll in all, it was very easy to hold and even when we had to hold it for long periods it really was pretty comfortable to hold. Scanmarker Air: Ease of Use Setting Up the ScanMarker Air To get to use the IRISPen Air 7, you first need to remove the cap (unfortunately, it cannot be attached to the top side, as you would with a regular highlighter) to reveal the tip of the device which consists of a rectangular piece of plastic with two protruded extremities and, next to it, there’s a cavity where you can find a built-in laser. To scan a piece of text, you need to hold the tip of the device upright on top of the text, not at an angle (the device can only scan one line at a time – make sure that the text line is approximately between the two scanner sharp ends). Furthermore, make sure you scan the text in a fluid manner and not too slowly or too fast. Students younger than that may not have the dexterity yet or might just get too frustrated and give up. How do I know if my student is ready for this scanning pen?

In case you have to scan mathematical formulas, logos or signatures, there is the possibility of saving them as images and to do so, you will need to specifically select the option from the app (Scan to doc / app > Scan as > Image).

Scanmarker Air doesn’t need much to run properly, essentially just needing the ability to support bluetooth.
