5. Scanning

In this section we explain the different scanning possibilities of the IRISPen

Before you begin, make sure the IRISPen

is plugged in in a USB port. If it is not

plugged in, a small cross is displayed on the IRISPen

icon in the System Tray.

Important Scanning Tips

Bear in mind the following scanning tips that help improve the scanning quality:

• Hold the pen upright to scan text. Do not scan in a 45 degree angle or less.

• Make sure both sharp ends of the scanner tip always touch the page during

scanning.

• Scan one line of text at a time. Make sure the line is approximately in the middle

of the two scanner tips.

• Avoid scanning too slowly. Slide the IRISPen

smoothly, in a fluid motion.

• Avoid applying excessive pressure. Otherwise, the scanning may result in jerky,

uneven motions.

5.1 Scanning Text to Applications

IRISPen

can scan lines of text into virtually any application that supports text.

1. Select the right language from the list in the ribbon.

IRISPen

Executive 7 recognizes 130 languages.

2. Click the tab Scan to doc / app.

The option Scan as > text is selected by default.

3. Open the application to which you want to scan.

Note that the application must be text-compatible. E.g. Microsoft Word.

4. Click with the mouse inside the open application.

5. Click and slide the IRISPen

over a line of text.

The recognized text appears in the application. If the scanning was not performed

correctly, animated tips appear on screen.
