Product Description

The irisPen Express 6 is the most intuitive electronic highlighter. Simply slide the pen over text and numbers from letters, newspapers, magazines, faxes, etc. and they are instantly retyped right at your cursor in your favorite application. The irisPen recognizes 3.15 inches (8 cm) per second and retypes 1,000 characters per second. The irisPen scans and recognizes 128 languages and features the Smart wizard, which assists you with blurry text, numbers or small images. Whatever you need to scan, the intuitive wizard guides you through the process. The efficient USB connection enables you to capture characters from the largest variety of media at the fastest speed. USB powered, it doesn't require any battery.

I couldn't believe this pen stopped working after 10 minutes or less. It worked just fine for a few test lines then quit. Now I need to know how to return it. It WOULD have been a useful product, if only it worked.


Once you hook it up and learn how to use it, is it so easy to copy things when going to the library or just from any book.
Best use- to take the library

I wish the clipboard could hold more than one sentence.


I purchased this pen so I can scan my law school book into my computer to create an outline to study from. Most times it works fine, some time the pen stop working randomly and I have to re-start the pen application. Sometimes it doesn't scan correctly, and it puts ))____ --- where words should be. But most of the time it works well. It's still worth $115 dollars I spent on it.


This product is not perfect by any means but it does scan single lines of text fairly well with some practice. I called Customer Service and I was on hold for 30 min. I chose to leave a message with my name and number and i am yet to hear from them.


My Irispen Express 6 was a wonderful tool that worked great for a short while. My first one lasted one week before it quit. My second worked great for three weeks before it quit. In both cases the green light failed to come on. I am giving up on this product.


This scanner pen works great for me on a Mac. It was quick to install and learn and I have no trouble getting 100% accuracy by calibrating prior to use and scanning steadily. Wish I had tried it months ago.


I bought the IRISpen Express in the hope that it would make the endless research projects I have for college a little less time consuming. I always found it tedious and disruptive to have to stop reading to note a phrase or quote for use in a paper. Also, it is time consuming to have to refer back to those little sticky notes when it is time to type up the paper or even to compile the research for review.
The IRISpen makes it much easier to simply sit with a book and read it as usual. When I come across a part that I want to include in a paper or even just keep on my computer for use in a blog or webpage, I simply scan the page number and the passage I want to use. Done. I have blasted through 4 library books today in the time it would have taken to work through a one or two because I dont have to stop reading to type. I set up my laptop next to me and start a heading on OneNote with the book that I am reading. That way all I have to do is scan it like a highlighter when I see something I want.

This little scanner has made life as a student much easier and less time consuming. Im also one of the most organized students now, because all my notes are digital and can easily be searched.

There are, of course, flaws with the pen; it isnt perfect at recognition so it is important to review the text periodically to fix spelling errors. It helps to calibrate it before using it every time, which thankfully takes about 5 seconds. Other than that, I have been very pleased with the IRISpen and I would recommend it to busy students or professionals who have to organize printed material for any sort of publication.


I have had two of these pens so far, and both have broken within a couple week's time. I'm not sure what is wrong with the internal components of this pen.


I was a little afraid to buy this, with about as many detractors as promoters of the device in the reviews here.

After receiving it and staring up within 15 minutes, I'm glad I tried it out! I find the character recognition excellent and send the scans directly to MS Word - I just place the cursor where I want to insert the scan, and it's right there!

I think that if you're having problems with character recognition, you could consider recalibrating the device each time you go to a new place. It's sensitive and on cloudy days when I'm scanning in the living room using ambient light, the output quality can range just because the sky gets darker and lighter than when I calibrated it. I can predict bad scan quality by keeping the scan window open and looking at the quality of the scan pre-OCR - if the scan is light or dark, recognition will go down. Luckily, recalibration is very easy, or you can scan somewhere with a more constant light supply.

With constant light, the accuracy is about 90+% for me, and learning how to hold the pen and how fast to scan took just a few minutes out of the box.


I was well pleased with the IRISPen Express 6 Pen Scanner, it did everything it claimed it would, and is easy to install and use.
