into your computer. A brief sweep with your C-Pen and the text instantly

These applications are NOT included in this package but check here for available

the wireless design ensures maximum flexibility of use. A Bluetooth transceiver
is included in the package.
Ergonomic Design
C-Pen 3.5 with its ergonomic design fits perfectly in your hand and is designed
for both left and right-hand use without any change of settings.
C-Pen Core Software
C-Pen 3.5 is shipped with C-Pen Core Software for Windows. C-Pen Core is
designed to seamlessly fit with multiple applications.
C-Pen Core is hence the main software and includes the Optical Character
Recognition that turns the scanned printed text into computer editable text.
It also features the text-to-cursor function that automatically insert the
scanned text into the application of your choice, wherever the text cursor
is positioned.
If you want to scan text into your own favourite software, just start that
application (e.g. Word, Notepad, Excel, etc.), place the cursor where you
want the text to appear, and scan with the C-Pen.
The C-Pen Core Software allows you to define multiple scan and OCR settings
and save these as Scan Profiles. If you like to change from scanning text
in English to scanning numbers only - you simply select appropriate Scan
Profile.
C-Pad"
C-Pad" is a control pad for the C-Pen Core software. With C-Pad you can
easily enter special characters and commands without releasing C-Pen from
your hand. The C-Pad is provided as a pdf and is easily printed on a regular
printer. More details.

How Do I Use the Cpen on my MAC?
When usoing the C-Pen 3.5 on a MAC the scanned text will be inserted at
the cursor position. This means that you can scan text into any standard
program.
This is an example on how to scan text into TextEdit:
- First check that the C-Pen is connected.
- Start TextEdit.
- Place the cursor in TextEdit where you want the text to appear.
NB. Do NOT click anywhere else as this will move the cursor and make your
program window "passive".
- Place the tip of the C-Pen a few millimetres before the first character
of the text. Press the C-Pen gently towards the paper and start moving
it along the text line (like you would a highlighter pen). Try to keep
a steady line! Lift the C-Pen from the paper when you have scanned the
last character of the line.
- The text you just scanned will instantly appear on your MAC screen in
TextEdit.
NB. The text is fully editable, e.g. you can change font type and
size in MS Word to customise the text. Note that there is a small automatic
trigger button at the tip of the CPen. This button activates the scanning
when the C-Pen is pressed against the paper. It is important that it is
pressed in during the complete scan. The automatic trigger is shown in
the picture to the left.
