booksbooks's Full Review: C-Technologies C-Pen 800C Handheld Scanner
Excellent. Easily 99% success with no practice. Doesn't matter if its from a newspaper, book, bold, italic. Didn't like mathematical formulae, so if that's your thing...
I liked the 800C becuase its got the auto start - you don't have to hold it with a finger on the button as in the 600, you get more lines of text on the screen - really useful for seeing what you've capured, and you get the re-chargable battery - not sure yet if that's good or bad I'm waiting to see how long the battery lasts and what the replacement cost will be in a few years time!
You have to download 5MB of exe to make it compatible with XP, but that was ok. IR port is very easy. My laptop sees the C Pen 100% on two attempts, low success on the first attempt though. All in all if you're in the library doing some serious studying, this is the one.
