How many times have you been away from your home or office and found that you needed to scan a document right away? If you've ever been under the pressure of finishing that book report, article, or had mountains of text to type into your editor, you might appreciate a tool that can quickly convert that printed text to editable text on your computer.

What would be better yet, is if it could scan the text that you'd like to capture, while being away from your computer. PLANon's highly portable handheld scanners have both of these abilities, and will save you considerable amounts of time and work.

In order to scan printed text into your computer and be able to edit it once you do, you would need a special type of scanner, one that has the ability to convert printed words, into editable text. This kind of special software is called Optical Character Recognition software, or OCR.

PLANon Docupen Scanners have built-in OCR software (Optical Character Recognition) that allows you to easily convert your scanned text to Word documents, email, or any other text editor for full editing capability, potentially saving you hours of manual typing. You might even want to just scan pages of text and images for reviewing later on.

To capture a document with the DocuPen, you simply lay the device flat across the top of the page and sweep it down to scan the page in one fell swoop. This approach lets you scan pages in just a few seconds. Rollers above and below the scanning element makes it easy to sweep smoothly from top to bottom while keeping the scanner parallel with the top edge of the page.

Each handheld scanner has a built-in rechargeable lithium ion battery, and built-in flash memory, allowing you to go the library, office, classroom, or anywhere, for downloading to your computer later on..

The DocuPen is the ideal portable scanner for scanning - newspapers, magazines, books, notes, photos, receipts, contracts, court documents, sketches, certificates, invoices, medical records, blueprints, maps, labels, and reference materials.

The need for convenient out of office scanning is enormous among students, teachers, realtors, business people, professors, attorneys, paralegals, and many others. Taking only seconds to scan a page, the DocuPen has the ability to scan down the pages or across the pages. This feature allows you to follow the contours of hard-bound books, and still allow the scanner to remain flat on the page.
