Summary: Great item, it really works!
Review: I value customer reviews and refer to them when purchasing items (especially expensive ones). So I needed to share my review with others.This scanner really works! I'm a college professor and like to scan things out of textbooks, etc. to make lecture notes quicker. I've used it for an hour or so and already have excellent results. As I get more used to it I expect near perfect results. I don't have to do anything special like use a ruler or turn the book upside down. Just make sure you are sitting at a table or desk so what you are scanning is on a solid surface. Installation of the hardware gives you the warning that it has not passed windows XP compatibility. I started using it anyway and have not had any problems. Good luck with it! I highly recommend it.

Summary: A very average to poor product- look elsewhere
Review: If you're looking for a fast and accurate handheld scanner, I strongly recommend the IRIS II Executive. I first bought the Quick Link Pen from Wizcom and got incredibly frustrated by that product's slowness and ridiculously poor accurary. I ended up returning my Quick Link Pen and getting the IRIS II Exec instead. The Iris II Exec is incredibly fast and more importantly incredibly accurate. I can scan faster than I would with a highlighter and I rarely get mistakes. I'm a Biochem Grad Student and I scan a lot of words that wouldn't seem easily recognized, but the IRIS II works like a champ. Even though, the Iris II Exec is not portable, it's accuracy and speed make up for it in leaps and bounds. The company's claim of 99% accuracy is pretty on the money. I type 80 wpm and scanning with this pen is far faster than typing. If you're looking for a Handheld Scanner, this is by far the best choice.

Summary: I agree with the" electronics fan" review
Review: My pen came WITH Mac OS X software, didn't crash my computer, and works just fine. Perhaps the crash experience by the reviewer came from not reading the documentation about the patch ( installing it on the wrong build).

Summary: This product rocks!
Review: Performed exactly as the company said it would. Easily scanned in text into our company spreadsheets. Also used for scanning contacts into Outlook. Would highly recommend this!

Summary: Best scanning pen ever!
Review: The IRISPen II Executive is the best scanning pen on the market as far as I'm concerned. I have tried the pen from C-Technologies and I have tried the pen from Wizcom and the IRISPen blew them both out of the water. The accuracy and speed was far better than the competing pens. This technology is amazing, much faster than if I were to type everything in. With the IRISPen I was even able to scan my signature in and attach it to my company emails. I would highly recommend this product!

Summary: This baby adjusts for colored backgrounds
Review: This is not so much a review as a heads up to the reviewer (Roy Herron) who said it was useless to him because he scans on colored backgrounds. You can adjust for background color on the Executive model just for this purpose. You said you bought from a seller, so I'm guessing that you didn't get all the documentation with your purchase. So, call ReadIris Tech Support (1-(561)-921-0847) and they can tell you how. I use mine for scanning barcodes when packing books. Makes it easy to keep track of what's in each box.

Review: This product is great for grad school in the stacks, but I purchased it to rapidly copy forms at the court house. It does not work for this application since the forms are shaded where I need to copy. The shaded area of the forms have the information I need to scan. OOPS, my bad for not checking this out at Best Buy or Circuit City to make sure it would work for my narrow application. So, I'm buying a portable flat bed scanner that can function in B/W mode. It makes this a pretty worthless purchase for me; and I can't send it back to the seller. I wish I had purchased it from Amazon instead of from a seller, then I'd be able to return it for a refund. I'm kind of stuck with it now. So, while it does work for normal B/W scanning, it does not work for me in one narrow application. Don't buy this thing if you need it to primarily copy data from back shaded text.
