## Description

Product description

Review: Wonderful, time-saving and accurate - As a writer I often copy text from printed books or papers, when I don't have an electronic copy. I am forced to copy long sections by hand, which is time consuming - as after five books, I remain a (pretty fast) three-fingered typist. I was referred to this device by another writer, and it works PERFECTLY! It scans quickly into Word, or any other program you choose. It is about 98% accurate - a number which, in this digital age, is as close to perfect as I can imagine. My only regret is that I wasn't directed to the wireless version as well, as I would have chosen that one. But the wired one requires no charging, so it is more user friendly. Also, with either one you get helpful, clear, easily installed software. BUY THIS NOW, for all of us slow typists, or lazy typists - or even you annoyingly fast typists - this will beat your best speed. Guaranteed. You won't be disappointed, and customer service is a great help.
Review: Great product for dyslexia - I use the scanmarker for my dyslexia. I simply highlight a word or sentence that I want to hear aloud and the scanmarker program on the computer reads it aloud. It also can be used for other things like copying sentences into a word or pages doc (might be useful for homework) and for translating text to be read aloud or to insert into a doc. If you don't mind having a wire then get this version. If you feel like having a wire will bother you, you can get the air. Honestly, you have to hook it up to a computer either way so it's not like you won't have to be sitting at a computer anyways. But it's a preference. I don't know if this is a design flaw or just happening to me but the USB Mirco B keeps coming apart from my scanmarker a lot. However, since it does come apart you can replace it with another USB micro B which, is nice because we all know wires go bad and it would suck if it was completely attached and you had to buy a new scanmarker every time the wire went bad. So I'm not really complaining.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: How does it work?**
A: It works by plugging it into a computer (USB port). There is a program you install for free from scanmarker. You then simply highlight the section in your books or paper that you want to read aloud, copy or translate and it does so by either the actual program or by putting it into a word/pages doc. I use it for my dyslexia and it has been very helpful.

**Q: Will this scan hand written text?**
A: Hi, Sorry for the delay - The OCR function wouldn't recognize handwritten text. You would be able to scan line by line using the image feature though the text won't be editable afterwards. Let us know if you have any other questions! - Scanmarker

**Q: Does the scanmarker recognize micr e-13b font ? i know that it works with cmc-7 font, but it works also with micr e-13b font ? thanks**
A: Hello, thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately MICR E-13B font isn't currently supported. Let us know if we can assist you any further! - Scanmarker

**Q: Hi does it translate a chinese book into english? also does it translate,japanese, latin,russian,greek too?**
A: I have not personally tried this feature yet but according to the manufacturer's website it can. These are the languages there supposed to be supported: Azerbaijani, Brazilian, Bulgarian, Chinese (S Vert), Chinese (Simple), Chinese (T Vert) Chinese (Traditional), Corsican, Croatian, Czech Danish, Dutch, English, Esperanto, Estonian, Fijian, Finnish, French, Galician, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Icelandic, Irish, Italian, Japanese, Japenese Vert, Korean, Korean Vert, Latin, Latvian, Lithuanian, Moldovan, Norwegian, Polish, Portuguese, Romanian, Russian, Scottish Gaelic, Serbian, Slovak, Slovene, Spanish, Swedish, Swiss German, Tagalog, Turkish, Ukranian, Xhosa, Zulu. I hope this helps.

### ⭐ The latency (time from scan to text window) is HORRIBLE (although at least the app manages to store input ...
*by A***R on November 21, 2017*

I bought this device based on the reviews, however it doesn't even come close to performing. It doesn't work at all on Android devices (I tried 2 different ones, a Galaxy Note 7 and a Verizon Tablet - the device closes after a scan...) On Windows 10, the interface gives no indication of anything happening during a scan (with the exception of the scanner light being on). It also "docks" to the side of your screen and can only be moved up and down. The latency (time from scan to text window) is HORRIBLE (although at least the app manages to store input as it goes...when it actually scans successfully) Last, and the reason I purchased it, was for scanning Japanese text both horizontally and vertically. It fails completely at vertical text (using both Japanese settings) and horizontally it captures correctly about 30% of the time (the rest of the time it merely fills the text box with nothing, and gives an occasional message about scanning too slow/fast/whatever... This product needs to go back into the test environment for a few months - it's translation features seem relatively advanced, but they are utterly useless if you can't get the source data into it in the first place...
