Can this be used like an OCR pen? If I take notes, can it scan like other OCR highlighter pens?

The scanner does scan paper notes very well but I dont know about ocr pens.

I'm not too familiar with an OCR pen, but my sense is that it scans line by line of text. This VuPoint can scan whole pages of text or notes quickly and efficiently. I am very pleased with mine.

No. This wand provides scanned documents in either a jpg or pdf document type. If you scan the text to a pdf document you can use a program like Nuance PDF Advanced to OCR the text.

You can write with it -- yes. It will take a little getting used to and I would not expect to use it as a replacement for pen and paper. But it works well enough for me.

It is possible. I used it to scan manuals and large books. It works out ok, requires a little editing afterwards (rotation).

Yes, I use it regularly with Notability to take very technical (mathematical) notes. I've tried a number of the small nib styli and this is by far the best. Highly recommended.

It could be done, but there are far better scanners for scanning books. It's great for small things like business cards or a small image on a page, but not whole pages. As l said it could be done, but you would go insane.

Sure, I take notes with them all the time. Just remember it is a marker and not a regular pen so it is a little thicker.

Hello Shailendra Yes you can and it works great as a scaner. This Is one of the best printers I have owned & you will not be disappointed with it.

I select photo + jpg (or tif) for signatures and even cash register receipts. Files zoom up and print clearly (8-pt type is readable). It also offers document + pdf (or tif) choices for incorporating into other apps- as it gives me that many more options. Yes, much easier to get good results than any other scanner I owned.

I just tested on mine - I wrote with a Papermate Profile ballpoint pen and tried to smear it immediately after writing. No smear.

I think it's more of a medium point. I agree with the other response that the pen part is fine but the highlighter part doesn't last long if it works at all.

This digital pen records what you write in a A4 sheet with a good definition (keep the pen with a constant tilt or you get a poor repetitiveness). The result is a vector image that you can edit with a suitable software (I use Inkling with a .svg file type). If you use it with the USB plugged it seems a mouse, but the definition is quite poor: so it works also with Photoshop. By, Roberto

No, the tip is too fat and mushy for that. This seems more useful for scrolling, flipping pages and clicking on icons etc. It is just not suited for drawing or note taking as far as I can fell.

It can be used with a stylus just as any capacitive touchscreen device can. I don't believe that it comes with handwriting recognition software.

Yes, you can mark paper with it. The letters are small but big enough to see. They are not microscopic small Hope this helps

I'd say yes. Keep in mind the quality of the copy won't be as good as with a regular scanner, but it's very decent. I carry my scanner in my murse (male purse) and scan all mail and important documents. I use it sometimes to scan book pages as well and the copies are pretty good.

Yes. The text is editable. The challenge with this pen is that you must scan very carefully. Too fast or slow, bounce up or down, certain text is not easily--or accurately scanable. Depending on the text, it's faster to type it. It can do well if the paper is clean and the contrast is good. Low contrast or magazine pages are not as accurate; sometimes not scanable.

Lol. I didnt think this pen was still being sold. I bought it 4 or 5 yrs ago. Overall, scanning is not reliable and much less with colors. I would have hoped for something better by now
