INTRODUCTION TO Congratulations - you have just bought a photographic memory! C-Pen is a Mobile Information Collector that reads, remembers, processes and transfers printed text to your Windows-equipped PC and PDA products. C-Pen is in essence an electronic highlighter that saves the text you are marking. Carry it with you wherever you go! Make it a habit to take your portable text collector with you, and you are always ready to read and save text from books, papers, brochures or business cards.
C-Pen 600MX C-Pen 600MX combines the reading function with translation ability, making it the perfect companion when travelling or studying. C-Pen 600MX includes: • C Read • C Write • C Beam • C Direct • Notes • C Dictionary • Info • Storage C-Pen 600MX has the ability to read both the Latin and the Cyrillic alphabet. It reads polish, hungarian, czech and russian as well as the languages that other C-Pens read. C-Pen 600MX offers communication by cable as well as by IR.
Your Personal Digital Assistant Powerful features • C Read Reads in text - the basic function of C-Pen. Move C-Pen over the text, and the text will be captured by the pen, where it can be saved as a file for later processing. • C Write (only the Latin alphabet) Allows you to enter characters by writing with C-Pen as if it were an ordinary pen.
• Storage Storage area in C-Pen, which can be used as a floppy disc for files. Optimal Reading Conditions C-Pen uses Optical Character Recognition (OCR) to read text. OCR is the process of turning an image of characters into computer-readable text. As C-Pen moves over the text, its internal light source illuminates the characters and a camera takes pictures of the text. During OCR, C-Pen analyzes the pictures taken by its camera and translates them into text characters.
• Position and movement of C-Pen It is important how you hold and move C-Pen over the printed text. Please see Reading text, p. 22 or read the Quick Start folder to learn how to use C-Pen correctly. It is crucial that you follow these instructions in order to get the best results. • The language of the text Set the text language of the text you wish to read, to get the most suitable OCR. See Text Language, p. 55.
