Wizcom InfoScan IS1000 Pen Scanner review:4 stars (Great gadget!) - After reading the reviews on this product and like products, I was considering another brand to find a good pen scanner, but I was only able to find this one locally, and the store keeper gave me the ability to return if I didn't like it, so what do I have to loose. How did I find it? EXCELLENT! It performs exactly as advertised. I can see how other users struggled with the device, but the package clearly states how to hold the pen and what happens if you don't use it properly. I was scanning pages within 5 minutes of opening the package and scanning very successfully. The only words that the unit struggles with are technical non-average words and fully capatilized words. Hey, these words are not run of the mill in your dictionary words, so as far as I'm concerned, I'm thrilled. Why 4 stars and not 5? The desktop application is a little tricky to figure out and it does like to die easily. But all in all, I'm pleased with its accuracy and ease of use. For those who want a keyboard attached for easy editing, you can use the 'scan to pc' mode. And no I'm not affiliated with wizcom. Just glad that I bought it!1 stars (Wanted it to work, but it doesn't) - I sure wish this worked because I could really use it. Unfortunately I had to give up on this one as the accuracy was pathetic. It was not just a matter of a few mistakes. There were so many that the meaning was lost as well. I tried hard to adjust and follow their instructions for more accuracy, but to no avail. It is being returned.1 stars (Technology not refined yet) - If one does not care about accuracy of spelling, etc. then this item will be okay. However, the technology is not refined enough at this price anyway, to have it scan a sentence or paragraph EXACTLY as read. Many mistakes. Not worth it to me.
