Since the IRISPen connects to the computer’s USB port without the need for
an external power supply, you have a portable OCR system, an ideal solution,

image adjustment features that allow to read a wider range of documents and a
multiline reading mode that increases the pen scanner’s ease of use.
The speech synthesis capability “Read & Speak” opens the door for multi-
