   The iris pen is a fantastic thought, but this one doesn’t work at all. I want to return it.

   IRIS Pen needs better vision
   Rating:1 out of 5 stars
   I bought this pen to scan in hundreds of sets of contact information from a typed directory. We would have used a flat bed scanner and OCR to do the work if we wanted all the names on all the directory pages, but we only wanted select names from some of the pages and we didn’t want to have to type them all in by hand.

   To be honest, the directory print was quite small and the lines were pretty close together so I was not certain that the IRIS would do the trick when I bought. It would have been nice to know that the pen could not be calibrated to pickup type that was 7 point in size and line spacing. But, even when trying to use the IRIS on larger print with adequate spacing (10 point print) it became clear that without a very steady hand and consistent ’swipe speed’ the pen could not recognize enough of the characters to make it worthwhile to use.

   I do not recommend this product… I finished up sending mine back because it was far less time consuming to just type the data instead of working with this device.

   IrisPen very disappointing
   Rating:1 out of 5 stars
   IRISPen Express I had previously used pen scanners that had 95 to 98% accuracy, but with the disappearance of serial ports, those became useless.

   The IRISPen was expected to be a excellent replacement, but nearly every single word had one or more errors in it. I can type quicker than that, since I’d have to fix nearly every word. I returned the scanner. HUGE disappointment.

   Do NOT get this product
   Rating:1 out of 5 stars
   This product fails miserably at every type of text I tried. Any font, any size, any color, it simply didn’t work. I spent more time scanning, pasting, and FIXING the errors than I would have ever spent typing the text directly myself.

   This isn’t even a excellent value if it were offered FREE because of the frustration level. Plus, as a Mac user, it is so clunky as to make me want to throw it out the window (I returned it instead).

   Do NOT buy this unless 1) you have a very high frustration tolerance 2) you like using white-out 3) you have $100 you want to waste or 4) need to own every gadget, even if they don’t remotely work.

   Have I been clear enough how small I reckon of this product???

   Cheers!

   Get the Cpen instead!

   In small – THE IRIS PEN SUCKS, buy the CPen instead.
   
   I am a law student who had used the Cpen 800C for the past two years. I have become completely dependent on it and was crushed when it died. It turns out Cpen no longer makes that model (was portable, didn’t have to be connected to your computer to use) so I stupidly chose to try the IRIS pen. It is a 100% waste of money – it scans crap on a perfect surface and is even worse on my textbook pages that are ivory instead of pure white. After two frustrating days of trying everything I could reckon of to get the IRIS to scan accurately, I bought the CPen 20. It works perfectly , you can get a 2 or 3 year warranty for $5 or $10 bucks, and for $13 I got a mousepad that allows you to use it as a mouse (very cool!)
