Description:

The C Pen 800 from C Technologies is a handheld scanner that can hold up to 3,000 pages of text. It uses OCR and an 8 MB memory to convert printed words to fully editable text, thanks to its compact infrared technology.

The C Pen 800 has a calendar and an address book that can hold up to 1,000 contacts. Its C Dictionary allows you to translate a scanned word from a number of different lexicons. Additional dictionaries can be downloaded in a variety of languages. With C Direct you can use your pen to scan lines of text directly into any document on your PC. You can also write or take notes with your C Pen using the C Write function. Simply use the pen to write on a patterned surface, and the device records your written characters into the memory just like any other printed text.

The C Pen 800 has an LCD so you can read back the words or characters you've recorded for instant editing. The translation capabilities of the C Pen make it a great choice for travelers and students. The pocket-sized C Pen weighs only 85 grams, and it has a built-in battery that lasts two to three weeks with normal use. --Megan Dugan
