About this deal

We liked the fact that the Scanmarker Air does let you switch between right and left handed modes. Basically, if selected, it reverses the scanning direction from left-to-right to right-to-left.

BLUETOOTH CONNNECTIVITY: seamlessly connect to any Android, iOS device and PC or Mac so you can start scanning text in no time Hit the little blank spot before a word begins and then scan a text from side to side without jittering too much One thing to be aware of that flustered some past users is that the Scanmarker Air can’t connect to two bluetooth devices at the same time. If you decide to move away from your computer to a mobile device, for example, you have to disconnect from your computer before trying to pair it to your mobile device as your mobile device won’t “see” it.

Furthermore, the optical resolution is 350 DPI, the character size ranges between 6 and 24pt, and the field of view is 0.4 inches (make sure the text you intend to scan is in the centre of the tip before you start the scanning process). Some shortcomings that I could point out are the fact that the ScanMarker Air will have a harder time scanning larger fonts (such as titles with a bigger font style), it skips apostrophes and hyphens (leaves a blank space) and there isn’t a way to delete the freshly scanned words directly from the pen (you have to go into the app and manually remove them). Fortunately, the ScanMarker Air will scan mathematical formulas and handwritten text and add them as an image. At a minimum, for desktops and laptop computers, it needs a system running Windows 7 (or higher) and Mac OSX 10 (or higher), so it will run on many older systems. The Scanmarker app also gives you two options, scan to the Scanmarker application and scan to external applications. If you choose the latter, you can then scan to a wide variety of supported tools, like Word, Excel, Gmail and Facebook, or send things to the Cloud (Google Drive and iCloud, for example) which is cool and pretty useful if you need to save something for later use. Ease of Scanning Text

UPDATE 01.08.2023: The Youdao Dictionary Pen 3 has been added to the best pen scanners and digital highlighters list 1. ScanMarker Air The C-Pen Reader follows the same concept as the other pen scanners (it allows you to scan various paragraphs from books or any type of documents and, using the Optical Character Recognition technology, it converts the data and ports it into a digital format, which can later be read or edited), but it’s main audience consists of people that suffer from dyslexia or other types of reading difficulties and for users with visual impairments.And yes, there are also a couple of microphones built into the case, so you can talk towards the device, therefore help tune the pronunciation. The Settings. It is also supported by a number of third party software and services that you might use for work or leisure, such as Word, Excel, Gmail and even Facebook, should you want to quote something to your friends.

To reliably use the Scanmarker Air accurately, we feel your child should be able to do the following: As far as reading and translations go, English, Spanish, German and French didn’t seem to give us any issues, but users do report having some problems in languages that don’t use the Latin alphabet, such as Japanese Kanji. Portable, lightweight and easy to use. The USB-connected version of Scanmarker Air for those who only require scanning to computer. Scanmarker Air doesn’t need much to run properly, essentially just needing the ability to support bluetooth. The C-Pen Reader is one of the three available devices from the same manufacturer (the other two being the Exam Reader and the Dictionary Pen, which have a larger library with more languages), all of them sharing the same dimensions and weight (measures 5.3 x 1.3 x 0.7 inches and weighs 1.7 ounces) and the main differentiating design factor is the colour: the case of the C-Pen Reader is all white. Because of the small form-factor, the device can be used by adults, but it is also suitable for children, especially because it is reasonably lightweight and it allows for a comfortable grip even with smaller hands.

Unfortunately, the Scanmarker air is not a stand alone device in that It does require a computer or mobile device and app to use. The device does not have any built-in speaker, so you will have to rely on the app to hear loudly the text you have just scanned and, it can also be translated into 45 languages which are supported in the Offline mode (or up to 130 languages in Online mode).We found the Scanmarker’s app to be pretty straightforward and well laid out. It wasn’t confusing or hard to use at all, you simply scroll down to find things to adjust and tweak. You can, for example, adjust:
